About Me: Female, Kernersville - NC, member since Mar 2008
I have a five year old son who has always been in great health. He is a very vibrant young guy. Always lots of energy. He went February 22, 08 for his five year well visit and for the vacinations for Kindg. everything seemed fine until the following Thursday. A rash
...
[More] came up but no other symptoms. So I was not to alarmed. But Saturday evening @ 6:30 he came and sat next to me and said he did not feel well. He looked really tired. I sat him on my lap facing me. His face started looking blank-non-emotional. His eyes glazed and eyelids very heavy. His words were no longer making since then he passed out. I called and spoke with an emergent nurse she said to get him to the ER. He was out for 45 minutes all together. I took him to the Ped. ER they did chest x-ray, ekg, checked his sugar and said it was all okay. And said they felt it was an Absent Seizure. He has these now a few times since but a few has varied. We just saw a Nurologist and he doesn't think they are seizures. He said it might be a sleep disorder. I my self have beem a patient for 20 years of my life and have learned some doctors throw diagnosis out that are not right and miss the boat. I am not a mom that runs my child to the doctor for everything but I am a little taken back by the fact there is a serious change in him 6 days after vacinations. I am not saying they caused it or they are bad. I am just doing deductive reasoning and trying to find in any one has had the same reaction with vacinations and is there a good outcome. Or does their child have the same symptoms and did they find out why. I would just appreciate any advice or wisdom.
