Patient was 13 months at date of final vaccines (11/22/99). Two weeks later began running a fever and lasted off and on for a month. He would not eat and was lethargic. He would not sleep and was very irritable. Pediatrician diagnosed a double ear infection during that time. On 12/28/99, he developed a rash that was concentrated on his face but did spread to other parts of his body. We began to suspect he was losing his hearing because he would not respond to the spoken word. Had hearing tested in February 2000--was normal. Patient lost receptive and expressive language and became noticeably withdrawn emotionally and socially. At approximately 17 months, he was tantruming constantly and was very fearful. At 18 months, we began noticing self-stimulation behaviors (i.e. fascination with spinning things and turning his hands back and forth in front of his face). He lost self-help skills such as the ability to feed himself with a spoon; developed an insensitivity to pain while at the same time becoming oversensitive to textures, touch and sound. he stopped making eye contact. His sleep patters are erratic and he has significant delays in both fine and gross motor skills. Per 60day follow up: Pt has not recovered. Virtually all symptoms listed in the adverse event report #7 are still present. Although pt is making progress, he has not regained receptive or expressive language. He is still withdrawn and inept socially. Self-stimulation behaviors are still present, as well as the loss of self-help skills and over-sensitivity/under-sensitivity to textures (especially in the mouth). Pt's sleep patterns are still erratic and he has gross and fine motor delays.  He had another seizure on Dec. 20, 2002. The ER physician diagnosed the seizure as caused by fever (his temp at time of seizure was 100.3). our specialist believes his seizure threshold is low because of the metals still present in his body. We have had to put chelation (heavy metal detox) on hold in order to treat intestinal parasites- Dec. 30,2002 lab results indicated "severe intestinal dysbiosis". His multiple food allergies (I failed to mention in the initial report  ) are still present-he requires a gluten free/casein free diet of morphine peptides. Additional comments: I recognize that this is a very complicated issue. My husband and I are committed to each other and our children. We are constantly seeking wisdom in therapy, socialization and medical treatment options. Pt is a happy. playful little boy. From a behavior standpoint, we are tackling the problems and celebrating the victories as they come. But bio-medically, pt is a train-wreck. Our insurance has not covered any treatment and our bills are stacking up. Pt has medical problems that are very real. Pt's father and I seek your help to discover exactly what has happened to our son. Respectfully, mother.  Follow up on 12/10/03: "Vaccine recipient did not recover from the adverse events that were reported for this vaccination.  Symptoms are still present.  Continuing original course of tx, OT, speech therapy.  Nutritional supplementation, heavy metal detox, gluten free/caffiene free diet.  I feel very strongly that a government should take responsibility where it is due for this injury to my child!"
