Kerri’s narrative (Kash’s mother):
On June 23rd, we took our son into the pediatrician’s office to receive his one-year vaccines. We were getting ready to go on vacation and we wanted to get it over with since they were already late. Just like most other parents, I dreaded these appointments. I couldn’t stand taking my sweet, smiling, cheerful child into the doctor to have him poked and prodded, but I didn’t know I had a choice. I ran a home-based child care facility and I thought immunizations had to be current for that, as well as future schooling, camps, etc. Kash is the youngest of 5 siblings, all of whom have been vaccinated, and we never had issues, so unfortunately, I didn’t put much thought into doing any of my own research.
Kash was immunized, I got him dressed, and we both left the doctors office in tears. The next morning I was cuddling with Kash when he first woke up, and he began to vomit. When he finished, I turned him over and tried to get him to communicate with me, or even respond, and I got nothing from him but a blank stare. His body was limp, he was staring off into space, and he wouldn’t even acknowledge his own name. Knowing something wasn’t right, we took him to the closest ER, which was about 5 minutes away. After evaluating him the attending physician told us that more than likely Kash had suffered a seizure due to “system overload” from his vaccines the day before. We were told to take him home, let him rest, keep an eye on him, but that everything SHOULD BE okay.
Above: The last picture taken of Kash before his PICU emergency.
A couple of days later we left for our family vacation. Eight hours of driving and Kash screamed all the way. We couldn’t figure out what was going on because he was always such a delightful and passive child, and this was completely out of the norm for him. Over the next week, Kash was extremely fussy, broke out in a rash, and ran a fever. With any change in his personality or health, I called back home to his pediatrician who instructed me to treat with Benadryl and Tylenol. After a week of being on vacation with a fussy child and not in our own environment, it was time to make the long trip back home. Once again, eight hours in the car, and eight hours of Kash screaming. By the time we got home, we were all exhausted and decided to go to bed.
The following day, July 4th 2010, Kash woke up fussy and running a slight fever. I got up with him, gave him a dose of Motrin, and since we had a big day of celebrating ahead of us, I decided to lay down and take a nap with Kash. I took him into my room to nap with me while my husband and our other children went about their day. About an hour later, I was awoken by the most horrifying sound that I’ve ever heard….it was my baby screaming and convulsing at the same time. I shook him and screamed his name several times, neither of which he responded to. I didn’t know what to do, so I screamed for my husband to help, grabbed my baby and began to run up the stairs with him.
I got about half way up the stairs before my husband met me. Both of us have some medical knowledge and we know that seizures shouldn’t last long, so we stood in the kitchen holding Kash, trying to comfort him, saying his name, trying to do anything to get him to come out of the seizure, but he didn’t. After a couple of minutes we decided it was best for me to stay with the other children while my husband took Kash to the nearest ER, which thank GOD is only about 5 minutes away.
Cody’s narrative (Kash’s father):
On the 4th Kash and Kerri had awoken early so they took a nap together. About 45 minutes after they went down I heard my wife scream my name along with the word “help”. I met her half way up the stairs with Kash in her arms and he was convulsing and unresponsive. I know this sounds terrible but at the time it seemed best and it was the decision I made, I put Kash in my lap and drove as fast as I could to the E.R. (about 5 miles from our home, I really felt I could get him there faster than an ambulance could arrive at our home). The drive to the hospital felt like hours and I spoke to Kash……yelled a few times to try and get him to come to. We arrived at the hospital and I jumped out with Kash and ran in through the ambulatory entrance where the receptionist started to tell me that I would need to enter through the front door but I interrupted her with all I could get out, “help my son is having a seizure”…
No time was wasted we were in a room and had 3 nurses and the doctor that was on in the room with us right away, I remember thinking that I felt guilty about all the other patients that were going to have to wait because we demanded all the attention for something that would have probably resolved itself (odd thought process and I was WRONG). We had to estimate his weight for medication because the seizure was too violent to get a good weight using the scales. The staff tried to get a line in but could not because his veins were too small and as I previously stated he was convulsing, violently, so the doctor informed me that they would have to “drill” a small hole into his shin. I remembered arguing with him that it would to painful for him and the doctor told me that in his current state he wouldn’t feel a thing. So with the hole drilled and the line started they pushed the first dose, the drug was something similar to a Valium. The doctor told me the drug would work very fast and he would come out of the seizure quickly. At this point of the visit, Kash had been seizing for about 12 minutes and 5 minutes later the doctor whispered something to a nurse and she quickly left the room. The doctor turned to me and told me that the medication didn’t work and that they would have to administer another dose and then told me something that didn’t register because I was distracted by the nurse that had just left the room returning with the crash cart. This is all a little fuzzy but I know Kerri was still home waiting for someone to come for the other kids and my mom had just arrived when I asked why they brought the crash cart in.nThe doctor told me for the second time that this second dose of medication would stop his breathing……Once again I argued with the doctor, “don’t give him the medicine then”, and the doctor told me that seizures should never last this long (we were now at the 20 minute mark) and the longer he remains seizing the higher the chance of permanent neurological damage. So the second dose went in and he stopped breathing.
This is the part of the story that I usually stop talking at, when the lump in my throat gets too big to talk through and I know if I blink a tear will fall. I hadn’t noticed the large man, that looked more like a bouncer than a respiratory specialist, that had entered the room until he began bagging my son. Kerri arrived right around this time and so did my realization that Kash wasn’t coming home today as I finally inventoried my surroundings and noticed nurses were beginning to cry.
Above: All of the medications Kash was on while in the PICU
Sorry this is so long. Obviously, this is a story I get very involved in telling, but I will fast forward for you.
Kash spent the next ten days in a coma and it was during this time that we began educating ourselves on the risks of vaccines. Bad timing considering we were too late to do anything now and we got to learn that IF Kash ever woke up he faced certain brain damage and could be a vegetable. That was IF he woke up.
Kerri was my rock, I know I should have been that one but when it comes to my kids I am soft, cotton ball soft. Kerri is also soft when it comes to the kids but she is a much better actor than I am. How can someone be so tough but have such a soft touch? She left the hospital twice, once to shower (then she found out she could use the showers there) and the second time she left to take the other kids to dinner (Kash was in the Pediatric intensive care unit — where kids are not allowed).
It was in the PICU that we met several other very ill children and their families. There were some great stories of recovery that we got to watch as we waited for Kash to wake up… there were also some very sad stories that we were on the same floor with. In the PICU we learned about the hand plates, the same hand plates that you remember making and may still have from your childhood or maybe hand plates with your own children’s palms on them. These hand plate kits were there for the children that would not make it home. They were there to make a hand print for you to take home after your child had lost their fight. The same day we learned about the hand plates the hospital chaplain came by and I remember I got very angry because on TV they only come by to bless or baptize the dying. Again, I was wrong, I asked Kerri, “what the hell is he doing here?” and she informed me that he had been by everyday to pray with Kash.
FAST FORWARD and Kash woke up. He battled seizures for the first several days until they got him on an appropriate dose and schedule to keep the seizures at bay. Kash had reverted back to a newborn. He had no muscle strength or control (couldn’t even hold his head up) and had lost the words that he had begun to say before the seizure. BUT OUR KASH WOKE UP AND CAME BACK TO US.
Kerri’s narrative:
FAST FORWARD. A year later Kash is two and still doesn’t have many spoken words; he can actually sign more than he speaks. Kash is running, laughing, smiling, crying and gives us kisses. He did wake up a little different from before and not just with the loss of speech, or the left sided weakness, but he NEVER gave my husband kisses before the seizure just myself. Now, my husband and I get more kisses than we can manage with one face. Kash has speech therapy every week, has a state funded therapist that comes out an additional two times a month for speech, PT, and OT, sees a Neurologist, and also goes to a Spasticity specialist. We are also in the process of getting him into see a pediatric stroke specialist because during his coma, Kash also suffered a stroke and has left him with left side weakness. With Kash turning 3 in May, he will also begin his adventure in school, and will be placed in a special needs education class. With all that Kash and our family has been through, looking at his face is a constant reminder of the second chance of life that we have been given. Kash is living proof that God still performs miracles. I will NOT be passive in my journey with a vaccine-injured child. I will use this as a chance to educate other parents, future parents, grandparents, and anyone else that will listen.

I am wondering which vaccinations Kash was given at his appointment? Did he have any adverse reactions with previous vaccinations? I am so thankful he is doing well. Thank you for sharing.
Kash’s reaction was to his one year MMR vaccine. He never had any other reaction to previous immunizations. Thanks for the question, and your kind words.
You know I stand behind you as Vincents MMR caused us lots of problems and we have a beautiful autistic boy. So proud of you for sharing your story.
I just want to say that while you are lucky that god was watching over your sweet little man, Kash is lucky to have such determined, loving parents. Love you guys…thanks for making me cry over this…AGAIN!!! So touching & so thankful it turned out the way it has!
Thank you very much, Brandi. I’m pretty sure that WE are the lucky ones though. Kash is such a blessing to all that know him and get to share in his life.
. Thanks for your support.
I am so sorry your family has gone through this! I truly hope that Kash will grow to be a completely healthy guy with no long term effects from what he went through. Thank you very much for sharing your family’s story!
Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to read Kash’s story.
I have a vaccine injured daughter who was fine until 18 month vacs and immediately developed peanut anaphylaxis. She is now 3.5 and we worry every second that it could be her last day here. We almost lost her July 11, 2010! I LOVE your quote “I will NOT be passive in my journey with a vaccine-injured child. I will use this as a chance to educate other parents, future parents, grandparents, and anyone else that will listen.” That is exactly how I feel.
Thank you. It is the only thing that gives me satisfaction. Knowing Kash didn’t suffer in vain makes me elated. If I can prevent this happening to 1 child, I have done my job! Are you on fb? May God watch over you in your journey with your daughter.
No parent should have to go through this! It makes me so angry! The pictures of you guys with Kash made me cry! It just hits hard when I’m over here with my baby boy ya know? My son got shots up to age one! After that I finally started listening to my mommy powers and never took him back. I don’t regret that decision at all! Thank you so much for sharing your story and I am so very happy that Kash is still shining!
Good for you for listening to your mom-tuition! I wish I would have. Didn’t know I had a choice, didn’t know it was so harmful. Thanks for your kind words, it makes my day.
Have you heard of Vaccine Court? My recommendation: Get a lawyer..You’re entitled to punitive damages..
Forewarned: Don’t let some doctor talk you into giving your daughter(s) a gardisil vaccine when they reach puberty..good luck
Kerri- Thank you for sharing your testimony. I know more and more people will start researching vaccines the more people come forward and speak out about it. You have a beautiful boy and I pray that he has a long happy life. I can already see he is blessed with a very loving family.
. God bless. XOXO
Thank you very much! He is our living miracle!
I just want to say that reading this story made me cry! I am so very sorry that you and the rest of the family had to go through this. I have 2 little ones and i pray everyday that something terrible doesn’t happen to them but if it does i know that God is watching over us and he will help us through as he has done for you. Thank you for sharing this story as I will pass along to others to read. Hope you all are doing well and God bless!
Thanks for your kind words, and for passing along our story. Thats the only thing that gives me comfort with what has happened.
Thank you for sharing your story. I’m glad you’re speaking out! I have a vaccine injured son. His reaction was after DTap, HiB, Prevnar at 18 months. I thought I was educated about vaccinations. We had chosen to delay with him and were doing them one at a time. He had already received a round of each. Looking back on it now, I know that I missed the warning signs of how the first round effected him at 2 months. Inflammation resulted in terrible reflux and GI issues. The “cocktail”at 18 months caused inflammation to his brain and more severe GI issues. He had chronic diarrhea and yeast infections. He screamed for 7 hours that first day/night, and writhed on the floor in pain and kept trying to bash his head against the walls and floor. It was terrifying. The screaming…was primal. That image is forever burned into my memory.
He went through ECI then onto PPCD. He was labeled with PDD-NOS w/suspicion of Autism. We’ve had a long journey to get to where we are today, working through the fallout of the neurological damage he had. Too many details to go through in a comment, but the end result is that I have a fabulous 5.5 yr old old boy who is in kindergarten. I never dreamed that we would be where we are today. Language is still unfolding, but it takes our breath away to hear him talk now and to see how bright and brilliant his little mind is.
At 3.5 he still mostly spoke “Wookie.” Eventually, words fell into place but in odd sentence structure. It sounded more like “Yoda.”
Best wishes to you on your journey with Kash!! Thank you for sharing his story. I need to do the same and NOT be passive in my journey with a vaccine-injured child. I will use this as a chance to educate other parents, future parents, grandparents, and anyone else that will listen.”
Thank you!
Thank you. I’m sorry to hear about your child, but it’s comforting to know things end up right. Your comment about language being ‘wookie’ or ‘yoda’ cracked me up! I feel you! Thanks for being active in our journey!
Just want to say thanks for sharing your story…just wondering how you knew it was the mmr vaccine that caused it…they usually get a few at the one year visit. My son just turned one and we do the alternative schedule. He hasn’t had the mmr yet and I am very nervous about it! Thanks!
It was determined that it was his MMR vaccine because it was the only one that he hadn’t had prior. This was his first MMR, and he had his first signs of reaction the next day.
The government can’t afford to admit to the fraudulent science behind the MMR vaccination without facing liability, so this information is being denied to the public at the expense of the children. It’s downright criminal from my perspective, read the article here: http://www.greenmedinfo.com/blog/scientists-sue-merck-allege-fraud-mmr-vaccine
Kerri, I am so sorry to hear your story. Our fourth child, third son, has permanent learning difficulties from vaccines. What happened to your son almost happened to him, but I thank God that someone handed me a copy of DPT: A Shot in the Dark the day before I was taking him in for his 4th DPT shot. He had reacted very badly to his 3rd set with that “primal scream” mentioned above, facial rictus, and then hundreds of mini mal seizures a day for weeks, and then a dozen or more for about a year. We were not told that is what they were, of course, and our pediatrician told me they were “infant conniptions”, or unexplained weird things children sometimes did. Can you believe it?! He was not able to learn to read until he was about 12, and his reading comprehension remained low until recently, where he can at least read a book with a reasonable comprehension — he’s 20. His math is still at about a third grade level. On the other hand, he loves theoretical science, history and archaeology, and is quite advanced in those. I am just sick that I didn’t do the research about it in time.
Bonnie, hindsight is 20/20. You cannot beat yourself up for something you didn’t know at the time. Believe me, I feel plenty of guilt for what happened to Kash, but guilt doesn’t make a change. Instead of feeling guilty, put those strong feelings towards educating and advocating for a change.
Kerri,
Thank you for sharing your story. We made the decision not to vaccinate our now 7 month old daughter. We do not share that fact with many people or family members because people look at me like I am a bad mother. Sometimes I doubt myself and wonder if we are making the right choice. But then I come across a story like this and it gives me the courage I need. I hope you get the money you need for this billboard. I love the fact that you are advocating for the cause. God bless you and your family and your very handsome little miracle.
Thank you very much. I wouldn’t worry about what your family thinks. Sometimes people are too set in their ways to do the research with an open mind. The good thing is that it’s up to YOU to do whats best for your daughter. Don’t let anyone make you feel like less of a parent for not vaccinating. You never know, you could be saving her life by doing so!
I have a daugther who also developed Tourett’s syndrome but with so much help speech therapy and 3 years of special school got better. Last year we told her she has mild tourett’s syndrome because she asked why she doesn’t like reading but she likes math instead ( not like her friend but like most of the boys) .She is now 16 and nobody can notice because she is soooooo much better lives a normal life and dances ballet jazz and modern since she was 6. In other words keep it up you will see that Kash will turn into a fine young man because you are doing everything possible and did not give up. Thank you so much for sharing this story and I will be praying for Kash tonight.
Thank you very much. I’m glad to hear that persistence does payoff, and that your daughter is doing great. Thanks for the comment, and the prayers.
Hi Kerri! I just read this and cried. I have been a new mom for almost 6 months. I can’t stand to hear Liam cry now that he is teething, let alone go through what you did. You are my hero and I admire your strength and courage. You are amazing! Please educate me about vaccines as I do not know much besides the fact that I am told he SHOULD get them. The next time I am in town, I would love to meet this soldier, Kash! My nephew had a small stroke in the womb and maybe seizures too! They are not sure, but he is 4 and a half and is very speech delayed. He sees OT and Speech- the whole works. My sister is very frustrated because they still cannot diagnose him. I am donating money for his sign. I will pass this along to my mom. Take care and keep in touch!
Always praying and thinking of you and your family,
Jewels
Thanks so much, Julie! Would love to meet with you, and see your son! What’s your sisters name? I’m going to try to find her on fb. Please contact me when you have plans of coming down. Thanks for supporting us!
Kerri,
God bless you and your beautiful baby and family. I’m so sorry you all had to go through this, but your story WILL help others! My oldest daughter has tree nut anaphylaxis, as well as many other small vaccine injury type issues…mostly allergy related. I do feel guilty sometimes about the fact that she is my oldest and sickliest (the only one of my four kids that was fully vaxed through 2 yrs, then we stopped). Your story reinforces my decision to stop vaccinating my other children and help other parents to learn why, no matter what people or Dr’s say. My youngest is 12 months old and seeing your pics of Kash just break my heart. She was a “failure to thrive” baby and the pedi guilt tripped me into vaxing her at 2 & 4 months. But I put my foot down and stopped the vaccinations after 4 months (she caught RSV from that round). NO more for vaxes for us. I just can’t imagine her having seizures and being in a coma – I would be SO angry at the world. You have handled this so well, again God Bless!
Thank you very much. Good for you for being strong and putting your foot down. You are very wise. Thanks for your words. Having support from all of you really makes this all that much easier.
hey……..thinking of you always…….may Kash always do the best he can with your support.
susan, shawn, julia, and jack
Awwwww! <3 you guys. Thanks for your continued support. I wouldn't be the same person, or half as strong as I am during this journey, without you.
Thank you for sharing your story it is truly touching and you are very blessed that your son is doing so well. My kids are in high school and they want to kick them out for not having up to date vaccine’s. I refuse to get them done and am so thankful for this website and the information it has provided. I am going to use this information for my granddaughter who is due to arrive in December!
Make sure you use any exemption that your state allows. Those exemptions still apply to your kids in high school. Here is the link to find what exemptions are available in your state, just select your state and it shows everything you need! http://www.nvic.org/Vaccine-Laws/state-vaccine-requirements.aspx
Thank you for your kind words and your support, we appreciate it.
Thanks for passing along the info, and thank you for your support.
Thank you for sharing Kash’s story. My older son had a vaccine reaction at 2 mos of non stop screaming for hours and we ended up in the ER. At 6 mos he began having petit mal seizures. When we took him in for seizures after his 6 mo shots no one said A THING about possible vaccine reaction. It has only been after research and time lines Ive connected the dots. Hes healthy and happy today thank God but I know what couldve been and grieve the fact Jace has been almost fully vaxd. I just never had a clue until my friend started talking to me about vaccinations. God Bless you guys and you are an amazing mother! Praying health over your little guy!
Thank you very much. I’m so happy to hear that your son is doing well, what a blessing!
I would like to say Thanks to all of you that have took the time to read my godsons Kash’s story. He is truly a gift from god and a fighter. And to you Kerri you are one of the most strongest mothers I know and he would not be the fighter he is without you.
Love you guys,
Uncle Mikey
Thank you very much, Mikey, that means a lot. Kash is something else and God does have a special plan for him!
my son had a VERY bad reaction to his 6 month shots, thank GOd nothing as bad was what kash went through. the day of his shots my gut was saying i really dont want to get him shots (he had previous mild reactions to the other shots) but figured all would be ok…the next morning when i woke up he was unresponsive and his entire body was beet red. i had a friend over that night and i woke her up screaming and we ripped off his clothes. i took his temp and it was over 104. he just stared into space too. i put him into a cool bath while she called my dr. we went in right away and the dr gave him some medicine and kept him under observation for a couple hours….thank GOD he came out of it slightly after a couple hours and got to come home but since then i have done research and never ever will vaccinate again. i try to educate about it too…it makes me cry just thinking about that fear i had that day and what could have happened. his angels were most definately looking out for him. im so glad kash made it! what a heartbreaking story!
Thank you for your comment. Even though Kash had a severe reaction, he is our living proof that God still preforms miracles. I will educate others on the dangers of vaccines until the day I die!
I am so sorry this happened to your son! What strong parents you must be! It is astonishing to read all the responses that have had similar reactions. My third child also had a horrible reaction to vaccines. I have read lots of responses here that are identical to our story. How is the government blind to all of our stories? Please continue your fight to be heard. Thank you!
I found your site as I research vaccinations in preparation of my daughter’s 6 mo doctor appointment tomorrow. I have come to dread these appointments and become physically ill, as I’m made to feel that I’m an uneducated/irresponsible parent by refusing vaccinations. I was trying to decide what (if any) vaccination I would allow (told doctor at last appointment that I would consider starting at her 6 mo appointment). Reading about Kash has given me the courage to trust my instincts and say “thanks, but no thanks!”
That’s great, Amber! If we can prevent this from happening to one child, our efforts have been worth while. Good for you for listening to your ‘mommy intuition’!! Thank you for your comment. You made my night.
Kerri,
I met you at the vaccine walk on Sunday. As soon as I saw the posters of Kash, and saw his sweet face, I cried. One of your children handed me the poster, and I carried it for the remainder of our walk. My husband is a doctor, with a special passion for vaccine injured kids. We have put the poster up in our clinic and will gladly share the word about your project. Your voice is so important, and a picture is worth a thousand words.
Sincerely,
NIkki L’Hommedieu
Thank you very much! It was nice to meet you at the walk. Thank you for putting Kash’s poster up in your office as well.
I’m so very, very sorry this happened. The ache you feel pierces deep into your heart, I am sure.
What a horror situation you experienced. You are correct in saying God spared your baby. Reading it like I have read so many others, yours sounded even worse than those who DIED from the reaction. I always want to share with people that there are doctors who DO KNOW the truth and have answers for even those who are damaged. Here is a web site of a doctor who cures these damaged babies. God Bless you.

Wow your words brought back memories as my oldest child had a reaction to a DPT shots. Luckly he was administered medication to counteract and did not suffer as your son did. It was determined that it was the pertusis and I chose not to have other children receive this when they were born. I feel that there is not enough explaining prior to shots! Good luck to you and yours!
I am so sorry your family has gone through this! I truly hope that Kash and all the other vaccine-injured people out there recover the good health that they had BEFORE vaccines took it away, and go on to live happy & healthy lives with no permanent effects.
No child or parent should have to go through this! It makes me so angry!
Just HOW many kids need to be injured or killed before society wakes up to how TOXIC these so-called “immunizations” are??
It makes me SO MAD and I just want to grab all the parents who so casually talk about taking their kids for their shots, without ANY idea of the HUGE risk they are taking, and just SHAKE THEM!!!
I LOVE your quote “I will NOT be passive in my journey with a vaccine-injured child. I will use this as a chance to educate other parents, future parents, grandparents, and anyone else that will listen.” That is exactly how I feel.
I was fully vaccinated from birth through adulthood, and though it was significantly fewer vaccines back then (I’m in my early to mid 30s) than kids get now, I strongly suspect that all the health problems I’ve had ever since I can remember were caused or at least triggered by one or more, or a combination of the vaccines.,
Since back then (AFAIK) nobody bothered to keep a record of the onset of symptoms of health problems in relation to the timings of vaccines, I have no way to prove its related to vaccines.
Still, I strongly suspect that vaccines are the culprit. Though I unfortunately have no concrete proof.
I don’t have any kids (yet!) but if/when I do, I know I will NEVER, EVER vaccinate them.
Thank you, Kerri, for being a voice of TRUTH (and NOT the biased pHARMa industry’s VERSION of the truth) and sharing your poignant & yet inspirational story! Your story is so important, and a picture is worth a thousand words!
May you and your family be blessed with years full of much better days in the future!
Kash’s story made me cry. Every time I read one of these stories, my own decision to stop vaccinating my kids is solidified. I live in Australia where vaccination is not mandatory, but most people don’t know they have a choice. Very few are able to give informed consent.
Thank you for telling your story. Your family’s courage is inspiring.
This story had me bawling like a baby, as I do with every story of a vaccine injured child. I know it must have been hard for you to share your story but I am glad you did. I am glad little Kash is doing well and I wish you luck in his complete recovery in the future.
My son SUFFERED AN ADVERSE REACION TO THE dpt VACCINE BACK IN 1981. He was the sweetest little boy prior who reached all his milestones. After 1o days of screaming, vomiting and febrile episodes he regressed back to crawling and no longer spoke or even smiled. No doctor believed me when I stated “my baby had ‘changed’”. I felt so alone back in the early 1980′s. It is so very sad our children are being forced to suffer from vaccines. Instead , we should have a major campaign to educate families on how to keep our children healthy through whole foods and supplements, thereby building up their immune systems so they can be strong enough to fight any disease that comes along!
Thank you so much both of you for sharing your story. I chose not to vaccinate my second little boy. His name is Cash.
In my heart I knew he would not be okay with vaccines. My instinct led me to not get him vaccinated. I spoke with his pediatrician at his 2 month visit and he was completely understanding. My first son was completely fine but something told me Cash would not be. I feel like they play russian roulette with each batch of vaccines and our babies who are completely trusting in us are at risk, yet they keep on. You never, know, because they don’t test them, which vaccines will be a bad batch and contain toxic levels. Maybe one day your stories will reach every parent who will understand the risk and bigmedicinemoney will be forced to change vaccines and dr.s will change how they are administered. GodBless you guys and Kash and your impact on this issue. 
precious lil kash. xoxo my heart breaks for all parents who have gone thru this.
Thank you for sharing Kash’s story.
I delayed the vaccines for our son, but only by a few moths. They used to be given at 3 & 5 months. He had his first at age 6 months, DPT & polio only, in those far off days. He was fussy or lethargic & whimpered like a wounded animal for over 2 weeks. Then the encephalitic screaming began & lasted 4 days before he began seizing. He wasn’t expected to live. He’s never had another vaccine since that one in 1975 & thanks to our Abba Father he seems larger than life.
Also we have been talking about it to all who will listen, as well as to quite a few who didn’t want to listen.
This story of your pushed me the rest of the way not to get my kids immunized anymore. I turned in their letter to the schools 2 days ago. I cried reading this. I am so sorry you had to go through this.
I am in tears reading your story. I have a 14 month old boy, and can only imagine the terror, pain and heartbreak that you went through. I am so happy you got him back! I am very thankful that we were given research to do on vaccines before our children were born(neither of my 2 children have any vaccines), here in Canada it is not such a big deal, just the shaming by other parents who are provaccine. I hope your story will help many people stay away from vaccines!!
Thank you for sharing… My daughter had a severe asthma attack two months after getting her shots… Instead of making a decision to go with my instincts and not do them at all I listened to her dr… People think I am crazy cause I do not get shots for my kids anymore, it doesn’t stop me.. I know those shots compromised my daughters health… I read a book written by a pediatrician and he even said not to get immunizations.. Glad to hear that your baby boy is doing better!!
I feel your pain thanks to god he is back home.my youngest daughter had fiveral seizure twice.i remember that morning I was screaming bringing her downstairs until the ambulance comes.she was stiffed.oh god please
Keep safe this children.she had the Hep b shot.her oldest sister is autistic.i will never give myself.i wish I knew what I know
Now.I am still in tears.
Thank you for sharing your story.
May god bless you and your family!
God bless you & your family. Your beautiful little Kash is very lucky to have such wonderful, strong parents whose love certainly had a lot to do with him pulling through this ordeal. He is a fighter & will surely get through all of this just fine with his family’s love & support.
Thank you all for your kind words. I am having a hard time today (so I chose to make it harder by re-reading all of this) watching Kash’s fear reflex return (when he first woke up sounds, they didn’t even have to be loud, put the fear of absolute death in him) for some reason. The noon sirens went off as they do every Monday and I had a bad feeling only to have those feelings verified by hearing his panicked-tiny feet pounding on the floor, carrying him as fast as they could to the nearest Mommy or Daddy…. 10 minutes later a scheduled test of the emergency broadcast station on TV sent him running and hyperventalating again…..
I Had a friend who we met first as kash’s first speech teacher post something on Facebook about being patient with children at your door on Halloween because they may not be being greedy they may just have motor skill issues that don’t allow them to pick up just one piece of candy at a time, they might not be finicky or picky they may just have a life threatening allergy to what you and the last three houses have to offer and they are thankful but may not be able to speak…. Etc…
And I got to think about Kash trying to grab just one piece of candy but having a difficult time because his fine motor skills only allow “rakeing” at this point and I also thought about the people handing out candy that may think he is rude because they don’t understand his garbled “thank you” or his specific “accent” he has seemed to add to his signing of the word “thank you”. Yeah…. That made me cry.
I RARELY cried two years ago but since Kash’s reaction…. I cry more than needed. Movies, seeing a child in a wheelchair, hell, COMMERCIALS can choke me up.
I wonder who kash would be now if he hadn’t had his reaction, I WONDER WHO I WOULD BE. Kash woke up someone else two years ago, this kid had my sons body and face but WAsnt the Kash I knew. Don’t get me wrong… I know this sounds negative but the kid I knew was ornery to the point of cruelty…. I NEVER got kisses, EVER. NOW I GET MORE KISSES IN A DAY THAN I KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH, EVERYTIME I HELP HIM WITH HIS UNDERWEAR I GET A KISS, EVERYTIME MY FACE PASSES CLOSELY TO HIS HE STEALS ONE…
I guess I don’t mind being overly sensitive…. His kisses make that up.
I thank God for my strong warrior wife, I thank God for Kash’s amazingly supportive and caring syblings (i do wish they would treat each other as well as they treat him), I thank God for waking kash up that day in the hospital and EVERY IMPROVEMENT MY SUPER STRONG LITTLE SUPER HERO HAS MADE AND WILL MAKE, I thank God for every little to big miracle every parent with a sick/injured/well child will ever experience and I thank God for a place that I can vent without direction like this and be accepted.
Savor every kiss, every touch and every moment you have with them….
Sincerely,
Cody
Kash’s Daddy
God bless you and your family. What you have gone through, what your son went through, I am so sorry. Also I am so thankful he is recovering. Could you share how he is doing now? Also, how does one become exempt from vaccines? I have been researching for quite a few years and held back on vaccines for this reason.
I have a vax injured daughter as well, it changes everything. Kash, you are one tough kid…we wish you all the best. Keep healing!
Hi…so I’m very hesitant and do the alternative schedule and even then separate mu daughter vaccinations ….she hasn’t received the mmr yet but when I requested them to me separated I was told to go to a clinic as its too expensive for the office to order mmr separated …..curious do they think the overload was from the mmr being clumped together? I’ve read a lot of on it.
Veronica: Congratulations on doing your research. Unfortunately, with the way vaccines are administered; so many at the same time, and so close together in the first two years of life, there is no way to know what vaccine or what combination of vaccines may cause a reaction in any given child. When children are vaccinated on the first day of life with the hepatitis B vaccine and the vitamin K shot, they receive an enormous amount of toxins that are overwhelming to their excretory, neurological, and immune systems. Because vaccine damage is cumulative (it builds up over time), the vaccines given earlier in life play a part in setting the stage for later reactions – which can happen at any time and to any vaccine.
I just want to clarify that it is no longer possible to separate the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines. They are no longer made in separate vaccines so if you do opt to have your child vaccinated you will have to give her all three simultaneously.
As you are researching and preparing to make that decision, there are a couple of articles I would like to recommend.
Putting Measles Into Perspective: http://vaxtruth.org/2012/01/putting-measles-into-perspective/
Measles Outbreak in Indiana: Oh, My! What Will We Do? http://vaxtruth.org/2012/02/measles-outbreak-in-indiana-oh-my-what-will-we-do/
I would also recommend this article, which is not about measles, but will walk you through the steps of learning how to use NVIC’s Vaccine Ingredients Calculator. That way, you will know ahead of time what your daughter will be injected with, should you choose to have her vaccinated further.

I hope this information is helpful.
Blessings to you and your daughter.

Lots of tears reading this. I feel that I went to a place reading this that I somehow avoided in this reality.
Somehow, I could not get my son vaccinated. I made three appointments, two of which I cancelled due to slight fever/runny nose. The third, I went and BOTH nurses who administer the shots were not in that day. When that happened, I finally trusted my gut and refused to reschedule. He has never had a single shot – I could not bring myself to allow it to happen, and I know, from a baser part of me, that he would not have survived had he gotten them. He is now nearly 19 months, and I stand firm that he will not recieve vaccinations. His sister was not utd fully, but she did recieve a few of her shots, and was brought up to date with her 3 year vaccines. Those are the last shots she will recieve.
Many warm thoughts for your family. Thank you for sharing this – I have never experienced the absolute knowing that I just did that I did the right thing for my particular child. I knew he could not handle the vaccines, I just doubted myself because I didn’t have proof. I may sound insane, but now I KNOW.
Bless Kash, bless you both and your family, and bless you for sharing.
Kerri, so sorry to hear this story. I have a 2 month old son and my husband and I are very Leary on his vaccines. I have 3 other sons that have been vaccinated and have been fine but they are older . Any words of wisdom or your thoughts. Again, I’m sorry for your story . I will pray for you and your family. Thank you , Molly
You know, it’s interesting, because my mom waited for our vaccines until we were in school and I specifically remember one of my shots making my arms swell up and hurt and never thought anything of it again until I was almost out of high school. My chiropractor asked my what I had done to my elbow and shoulder to injure it so badly, having never suffered an injury, I suddenly remembered that shot. I have had issues with my right arm my whole life. It may seem simple, but it’s a reminder to me now the affects of compliance without knowledge, and I have never given my son shots. I have been feeling guilty about that lately, and this definitely helped me have the courage to follow my motherly instinct. Thank you for your story. God bless your little guy, he went through something terrible, but his and your families strength and courage to overcome and educate others is a blessing to those who receive it. God bless.
Just wanted to share that I will be attending a vaccine workshop in a couple of weeks. My Chiropractor is holding the workshop for FREE in Carlsbad CA. at West Coast Chiropractic on Aug. 21st, just to educate parents and grandparents alike about the dangers and side effects of vaccines. 1 in 4 children are diagnosed with Autism these days and many people believe it’s due to vaccinations. My husband and I are planning to get pregnant soon and I have vowed to learn what I can before this baby comes into the world. I am sad it’s too late for my 14 year old daughter but she is one of the fortunate ones who didn’t have adverse reactions to vaccinations. I am glad to hear Kash is doing better and I am sure that with all the love you and your husband give to him, he will heal and be an happy and active little boy. Best of luck to you and your family.
Can you refuse to get your child vaccinated? I wanted to with my son but they made me feel like I was a bad mother. Im currently pregnant and would like to avoid vaccinations for my daughter but I dont know what I should and shouldnt allow? I wish you would never have had to go through something like this but it is a miracle that he has come out of it so well. Thank you for sharing, it has really opened my eyes to this type of thing.
Cheyenne – you can absolutely refuse vaccination for your child. I would like to urge you to go to our Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/VaxTruth, post this question on our wall, and I will re-post so you can get input from everyone that sees the post. I think it might help to see so much support behind your decision.
The best thing for your child is to not allow any vaccines until you feel you are completely researched about the topic. In most cases, those that research vaccines don’t allow *any* vaccines to be given to their child. Vaccines are loaded with toxic chemicals and metals, and each one damages the immune system, neurons in the brain, and organs, to some degree. Good luck with your journey. Please let us know if you have any additional questions. We’re here to help!

I have a two year old and a 10 month old sons. When my first was 2 months, we went in for his 2 month check up. I had no knowledge about the shots but had a horrid feeling in my gut when we were talking with the doctor about it. They told me that if I didn’t get them vaccinated and they got some aweful disease, I wouldnt be able to forgive myself. Nontheless, after we heard his screams, something inside me felt horrible and guilty and incredibly protective of my son like I had just let something terrible happen to him. It wasn’t even a feeling like, well I know this is the best thing for him, NO. I felt horrible. I would feel more guilty if I gave my son a shot that affected him more than if he contracted an illness that God created his immune system to fight off itself. I vowed to myself I would not allow that to happen. If he contracts a disease, God will decide whether he will strengthen his body to bring him healing. I am SO glad that I didn’t continue with the vaccines. After the vaccines, he caught a nasty cold with hacking and breathing problems. It was a little scary. I know now it was from those vaccines. Thank you for sharing your story!! I can’t imagine how aweful of a time you went through waiting for your child to come back to you. Praise be to God that he was merciful!
Many prayers to you and your family as you battle through this recovery which, hopefully, can be more complete than you believe possible. My daughter also had a similar reaction (vomiting and rash which turned out to be petechia – her blood vessel walls were damaged) She threw up every other day for a month, going from a perfect 20 pounds at one year to 17. She refused to eat normal food again for years and had bruising for 9 months. Now, we are so blessed to have gotten through it without special care or need for it long term yet I know that it changed my daughter forever. I feel lucky that it wasn’t worse but pray every day for those it is worse for, like Kash, and for all children as they go in for these death stabs. I am finding more and more parents that read, learn or just know in their heart and trust themselves to stay away from vaccines. Thank you so much for sharing your story and I hope more and more people become aware. I will never allow vaccinations for any of my children or family again and would sooner shoot a person who tries with a gun than allow them to shoot them with a needle. My child did have reactions to previous vaccines, specifically the DTaP which cause cellutits at the injection site. She also had a milk allergy. It was the MMR though that did this to her. A year later I discovered her Aunt had a similar reaction, although not as terrible, to the same shot which she got at age 30 in preparation for a trip to England. So adults can suffer, too. Lots of love coming your way…
Your story has brought me to tears. After her first MMR, my 4′th daughter stopped making eye contact and lost all her speech. She slowly started speaking again, months later, but then lost those few words, as well, and was still not making eye contact. I look back at the before and after family photos and the change in her face, expressions and demeanor is astonishing. I kept asking the pediatrition if I should be concerned she wasn’t making *any* of the developmental milestones the HMO’s wall poster checklist illustrated and he said she was probably a “late bloomer”. I asked about the eye contact concerns and speech loss and he shrugged it off. I finally got online and Googled for a few hours until realizing, thanks to the helpful videos posted by informative parents, like you both, that she has low functioning Autism. I bypassed the pediatrition’s nonchalant advise to “wait and see” and got her tested through Childreach, a WA state free assessment program and the 2 women that tested her (on every developmental and physical level) were quick to get her into various therapies and a referral to the local neurodevelopmental pediatrition at Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital, in Tacoma. By this point, I had read enough and spoken to enough people to not be affected by his determination that Amanda is, indeed, Autistic. I later, after reading and educating myself on Autism (including reading Jenny McCarthy’s book about her own journey w/ her son) realized that Amanda was having silent seizures and that was most likely the cause of the 2′nd loss of speech. She had 2 EEG’s and thankfully, we caught the condition in time; she had abnormal brain activity that the pediatric neurologist described as a precursor to seizures. She is on suppressive medications, has a series of various therapies, is about to start developmental kindergarten next month and is a happy little kid. She still does not speak, has only 1 spoken word, 2 working signs (in sign language) and almost zero self-help skills. We have to safety pin on specially made clothing to keep her from playing w/ the contents of her diaper and I am unsure she will ever have the childhood, adolescence or adulthood her 3 big sisters are living. We did a candita yeast cleanse and at the tail end of the 4 week regimen, she made eye contact, again! That has not gone away, since. We are now trying the gluten-free diet and will give that a few months go, to see if there is any change; then the casein-free diet, to try that out. She is completely up-to-date on all of her immunizations with the exception of her last MMR she was supposed to get by the age of 5. I have no plans on ever completing that portion of her vaccine card. Thank you for sharing your story and helping me feel more confident in my assessment that the MMR vaccine is unsafe. May your son grow to an old man w/ a legacy of dreams fulfilled and lives grateful he touched them.
look also into the GAPS (gut & psychology syndrome) diet and the Weston A Price Foundation traditional diets (http://www.westonaprice.org). you can also consult with Ayurvedic doctors in Seattle or California – Ayurveda uses diet for healing and health support with over 5,000 years of continuous practice experience in India and other south asian countries….
Any thoughts or opinions about getting a virus because of not being vaccinated. I am a mother of 2 young boys and over the winter caught a virus that went into my spine causing me to be paralyzed. With treatment and medicine I am no longer paralyzed but I was for a short while. Some people have a terrible experience with getting vaccinations and some people have a terrible experience from not being vaccinated. Will we ever know the right answer, damn if you do and damed if you don’t.
There are things you can do to naturally strengthen your immune system. There are also natural antivirals and antibacterials that you can take (and/or give to your children), which will help to fight off infection. The best medicine is whole, natural food (not GMOs, or prepackaged foods full of preservatives and additives), clean water (without flouride), adequate sleep, exercise, and sunshine (for vitamin D).
In 2009, my daughter caught H1N1. She caught it from a classmate who had been vaccinated with FluMist, which is a live-virus vaccine and which causes the recipient to be contagious for up to 28 days after vaccination. Of course, parents got their kids vaccinated and didn’t keep them out of school, so my unvaccinated daughter caught “the dreaded swine flu” from a classmate.
This is the story of how we dealt with it:
http://vaxtruth.org/2011/11/treating-the-flu-naturally/
This is the story of parents who succumbed to the fear-mongering about the flu. They got their healthy daughter vaccinated. She died 4 days later.

A tragic story. Blessings to Kash and his family.
Medical students normally study about vaccines for only a short time at university and qualified doctors often don’t take the time to even read through package inserts. Information received by medical students and doctors is normally strongly influenced by the pharmaceutical industry.
In comparison it is often the case that vaccine critics have spent hundreds of hours, even many years independently studying vaccines and know far more than the average doctor. We are many who are frustrated, unimpressed and tired of trying to ask about and discuss with doctors about vaccine ingredients, safety statistics, potential long term adverse events including carcinogenicity, synergy, interactions, secondary transmission, concomitant administration, etc. It is often blatantly obvious that the average doctor has minimal knowledge about the complex issue of vaccination.
Each person is unique. It is impossible to know how each one will be affected regarding vaccines and certainly not in the case of several vaccines received concomitantly. There are no serious unbiased studies regarding this important issue.
Knowledge about the risk weighed against benefits of vaccines is grossly lacking and is certainly not sufficient for vaccines to be recommended.
Who wants to buy a car from a pushy salesman who knows nothing about cars?
I’m sorry to hear this story about your son. My son has been getting his vaccines on a delayed schedule as not to ‘overload’ his system. I am feeling very concerned about future vaccines. My question to you is Have you discovered what you can do to reverse the affects of the reaction if caught early. I’m just wondering if other parents can be warned in the future.
there is an Ayurvedic Practitioner in New Jersey who uses Dr. Mishra’s dietary protocol with wonderful results for many conditions: Dr. Marianne Teitlelbaum DC – http://www.drmteitelbaum.com
Thank you for sharing your story. The link was given to me by my instructor, after me sharing my own story. I had a bad reaction to a tetanus shot that left my whole shoulder, upper back, and up into my neck swelled up like a balloon. Fortunately I was taken to the hospital before it got too bad. I know I have had to take my own daughter to the hospital enough times to know a little of the fears you must have been feeling. Good luck, you guys, and thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing. I’m sorry your family had to go through such a terrifying experience, and I’m glad Kash seems to be making a strong recovery. Thank you for being willing to speak out for those who don’t understand the risks of vaccines.
Kerri. My heart breaks with your story. There are tears running while I am reading… my step DD, was vaccine injured and she was having problems at school. God showed us that we could do something for her instead of sending to school. She is doing homeschool and we are amazed how she has excelled in many areas. our youngest little one is not vaxed and he is the healthiest one in the family. Keep up the good job, Kash is an angel from heaven and God has an amazing purpose for your little one on this earth. My prayers go with you. Star.
What are some good websites to look up about vaccines? I have an aunt who has informed me of all the ingredients as well as side affects.. I’m following another educated based FB on shots but I’m not sure that I understand how to go about NOT having my daughter vaccinated. I hate them, she hates them.. She always gets sick and I worry EVERY time. She’s done relatively okay with them being four, but I fear for something along the lines of what you’ve faced. Which by the way I applaud you, BOTH of you. You have courage and strength that I don’t think I would be able to gain or show.. But with all of this said I just need to know my rights, her rights.. For school, for everyday life and what not.. Thank you SO much for sharing this story!
I am reading through the replies and I am seeing that A LOT of people have vaccine injured children. When will this madness stop with these doctors?? Obviously they are not safe, and humans are being harmed. BABIES are being harmed. What’s it going to take for these doctors and pharmaceutical companies to stop pushing their poisons! I am so mad! I am happy that Kash is recovering. Thanks for sharing your story and speaking out. My friend’s sister in law had a baby who was hospitalized after her 2 mo. series, and then the day after the 4 mo. series she died of “SIDS” at the babysitters house. She got an attorney and they did investigations, and after several years she was awarded 250K dollars for vaccine death.
Still doesn’t bring her baby back. I am so upset. I got my first all of her vaccines up to school age. She had a seizure at 9 months. I immediately brought her to the pedi’s office since it was an “absent seizure.” They dismissed it. I still didn’t “get it” and right before my second child’s 2 yr. old shots, we just never went back. Now my children are more healthy (they used to be sick every 6 months.) I have 2 completely un-vaccinated children and the differences in health are obvious. I hate that I was lied to. I hate that my babies were harmed. This is a crime against humanity!!
Bless you all. I have several vaccine injury stories in my family, but wanted to mention that you might look into FUNCTIONAL NEUROLOGY — a therapy that might help Kash immensely!
God bless you for sharing. I am a Mom of a child w/autism because of vaccines. I have now returned to the classroom since he’s doing GREAT! Thank God…but I was first “required” to get vaccinated. I prayed and prayed…knowing if I had to get vaccinated I would have to turn down the job. God answered my prayers and I did not have to get vaccinated to keep the job. I had to take a class this past Saturday on communicable diseases. The nurse was a vaccine Nazi. Showing horrific pictures of children who died because they didn’t get vaccines. Of course she didn’t show the other side of those who die or are vaccine harmed. The irony is that number is MUCH higher! The other irony is many of the cases of disease that are showing up like pertussis/whooping cough is caused by the vaccine. Live vaccines like the nasal flu mist and chicken pox are causing more problems than they are alleviating. God bless you for showing the other dark side of vaccines that so many do not know. Prayers and hugs for Kash, you and your family!!! God Bless You All!
Thank you for sharing your story. I get so outraged that people are being forced to get vaccinations for “public safety” when they are not safe and effective at all. We have not vaccinated our children and thankfully live in a state where we can have a “philosophical exemption” and be legal. I get so angry that the govt (due to the power of the pharmaceutical companies) is forcing vaccinations on innocent children and in some states people have no choice unless a doctor signs a medical exemption for them. God bless you and your family.
Kerri. My daughter had your aritcle on fb. She, as well as two of my other children have decided not to vacinate their children and I am 100% behind them. As a little girl, one night I went to church and my little one year old cousin was sitting in front of me. I was about 12. I remember her going into a seizure. I did not understand but was told she had a baby shot that day. I love her dearly. Her name is Cindy and to this day she is severly effected with several disabilities that have left her unable to marry or live on her own. She only knows those people in her family, but she has a smile and a little voice that breaks the atmosphere into joy. Just praising GOD that your little boy is alive. Praise the LORD. I am also an interpreter for the Deaf as well as a Pastor along with my husband, and as I interpret I am not allowed to give my opinion. The other day a couple of Deaf parents that I interpreted for had a pediatric appointment. I was with them as the NP gave the two month old baby his shots. I thought the baby would need stitches for the one leg…It was just not a little hole, and he just screamed. All I could do was pray over him that he would not be effected as soo many have. Bless for sharing this and at least giving other mothers and fathers an option to pray about. Blessings also on your precious little Kash.
Such ignorance goes on in this world. Scientist, government, and doctors can not keep pretending this doesn’t happen on a daily basis.
I am so glad Kash came back to you. Stories like these make me stand my ground more about my vaccine beliefs.
God bless your family.
I almost couldn’t finish reading cuz I was about to cry (I’m at work!). Gave me a lump in my stomach and breaks my heart. I’m going to pray for you guys in addition to the many others that have been damaged. My goodness, this is a pit in my stomach. Can you look into detox – can you contact Dr. Joseph Mercola or contacted NVIC for help or references for detox? Have you reported to VAERS and grabbed the hospital records and his records from the doctor’s office? Ugh, I’m so so very sorry. What the docs have done makes me ill. LOTS OF HUGS TO KASH AND TO YOUR FAMILY.
Sorry, I’m on fb w/NVIC and that’s where I heard Kash’s story. I’m just flustered over this and so upset. God Bless You.
Thanks for sharing Kash’s amazing story, and I hope everything turns out well for you all. I wish all parents who are considering vaccinating would read this first.
I am so sorry for everything you and your family have gone through. I sat here bawling like a baby trying to get through the whole thing. You and you husband are very strong people to be willing to share your story. My thoughts will be with you.
This is NOT JUST IN CHILDREN!!! I am now 38 and I was going back to college 2 years ago and because I have never had a positive titer for MMR and I have had 6+ vaccines I had to have another one. I ended up being allergic and ended up with cellulitis. AND am now unable to receive ANY vaccines. So, I will not be able to travel abroad.
So glad he came out of it. You are right. It is a special gift that he is still with you. Love and light.
Your story brought tears to my eyes. I love to be able to keep up with Kash’s story and how much he has improve. I to make it appoint to let parents know the risk of vaccination. We all have to unite and raise an awareness. Bless you and your family. Is there anywhere we can go to get updates on your little man?
May I ask, since some time has passed, has there been more recovery, or are you and your family facing Autism?
I am glad your baby boy is on the road to recovery and I will keep him…and all babies in my prayers. When doing research years ago…I am a Grandma…on vaccination reactions and long term effects, I could not find much. I have continued to read articles on the subject and have discovered through my “research”: it seems to be the medium the actual vaccine is mixed with to inject it. Reactions like this have been happening to pets as well…not to compare a child to a pet, but there are thousands of reports of pets having seizures…sometimes for the rest of their lives, going into kidney and liver failure, and going into cardiac arrest and dying shortly after receiving their vaccs. Like the children;s reactions, it was not to one vaccine…reactions were to rabies, distemper, dog flu, and the combination vaccines. Someone somewhere needs to find out what the cause for these reactions is. While I understand not vaccinating because of the reactions, I worry about the chances of contracting measles, mumps, polio, etc.
Like Kash, my son was born with a Heart Problem, it was not till he was 3-months they were finally able to tell me what was wrong, He was born with Mitral Valve Stenosis (the left side of his heart never grew) we were told most babies die before it is found out. he made it to 3-months, they rushed into surgery, but he was still to small to put a valve in. they had to wait till he was 8-months, to make a long story short, he has had 4-open heart operations to date!!!, he is doing better than the doctors ever thought!!!, God has special plans for my son, & he has special plans for Kash too!!!, vaccinations are getting worse, & worse.
I have two children now and one on the way. I cant imagine having to go through this I and as a paramedic student this situation is my biggest fear to face. I have vaccinated both children with no problem and I am not opposed to vaccines in the future but I am also not apposed to not vaccinating. I am writing to ask what was the actual cause of this effect in your little guy? Was it to many vaccines at once? Also did Kash have a febrile seizure? I ask these things so I can evaluate for my children what I plan to do with vaccines in the future. So sorry your family had to go through this and I am happy that Gods plans for Kash included him saying with his wonderful family! God Bless
wow! i cant believe all these horrible stories related to vaccines. my son is 4yrs and has had all his vaccines so far and now hates the doctor because of it, but has had no adverse reaction than goodness. but it is scary all these things they are injecting into our little ones nowadays. if i have another child i shall think twice about vaccination.
Thanks for sharing your stories to inform everyone.
Wow, I’ve read so many vaccine-injured children stories written by parents. Still cry every time. I have two kids, and after much research and reading we decided not to vaccinate. It didn’t feel right to inject so many toxins, viruses, and foreign DNA into a perfectly healthy child. I am just thankful I had the chance to educate myself and questioned it from the beginning and although I never had to go through something like this – I also live to educate other parents, so that they do not make this mistake and then it ends up being too late. It is stories like yours that MUST be told and shouted from the rooftops to wake people up! Thank you so much for sharing the amazing story and may God bless your family in more ways than you can imagine!
Thank you for sharing Kash’s story–may god continue to bless his way into full health. I want to share that a dual degree doctor MD/chinese medicine is doing a parent-based massage for children with Autism and other sensory based effects from toxins/vaccines to help them clear and rebalance the body. Find out more at http://www.qsti.org. I did the massage with my son every day for a year and now still use it weekly (who was exposed to our leaking furnace and then had a mild vaccine reaction) and found it so helpful for his body and recovering full health.
blessings!
As I read your story I realize how lucky I am.My oldest son was 2 and had his very first seizure 20 MINUTES after receiving vaccines.We battled daily seizures for the next 12 years.He ended up having to have speech and physical therapy,and also developmentally delayed.No doubt in my mind all because of the seizures that were NO DOUBT brought on by the vaccines!! Thank you for sharing your story,and your strength!!!!
Reading your story and many others about vaccine injuries I know I made the right decision not to vaccinate my son. When he was born there was little or no awareness about the dangers of vaccines so I received a a lot of flack from parents and Drs. I feel for you and your family to have gone through this with your beautiful Kash, no parent should ever have too. I’m really happy that you and others are sharing your stories to raise awareness. Has any one received acknowledgement from the government that your children had a vaccine reaction. Or are they still denying it. I hope it changes soon before many more kids become injured. For the parents who have chose not to vaccinate, you should find your child to be healthier than most, no ear infections, asthma, food allergies I found the difference very notable my son is rarely sick, and has nothing chronic.
Hi Cody & kerri my prayers and thoughts are with your family. I know of another family here in Oklahoma had gone through the same thing as you have. I am so glad he is doing better but praying for his speeach and all to be much better for you. Keep the faith. You are awesome parents and with the love, encouragement and the advocacy you can make a difference so sorry you had to go through this.Give that precious little boy a big hug for me. Take care. I would love to keep hearing great updates if that would be possible.
My youngest daughter suffered a severe vaccine injury at 15 1/2 mos. and 181/2 mos. again. We only discovered just prior to her last vaccine- which a PA insisted she needed to finish the series and he convinced us it was safer for her to have a DTaP. Within 5 days she was hospitalized having grand-mal seizures and much of what you also described your son experiencing. Because our daughter had already been suffering severe gastroenteritis and the diarreah from her last shots 3mos. prior to which she was still experiencing. The very fact that this PA convinced us this was a safer shot, bothers me to this day! I know I can’t change it because I only knew what I knew at that time, even when my feelings were strong against it. I had NO idea that this kind of injury could happen from vaccines. UNTIL IT HAPPENED! I know my daughters body would have been better off if we had never done the last three shots. Basically her body never fully recovered- leading to a surgery and more complications… So we know what this feels like! And we know what it feels to be mislead by a Dr.
Almost this same scenario happened to my niece. Her seizures would last days, and she spent the better part of two years in and out of ICU. The doctors told my sister it was a reaction of the vaccines. I am so glad your little boy is doing so well. My niece is now sixteen and doing wonderful. She is a little further behind than the other kids her age, but we are just thankful and frankly amazed that she is still alive. God Bless!
thank you for sharing your story! i as well have a vaccine injured child! my son reacted to the MMR vaccine and developed CHRONIC Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura and still battles it to this day! He’s now almost 4 and still sees his specialist 5 times a year! praying for kash and for your story as well as mine to reach other parents and open their eyes to the horrible dangers of these vaccines. i have an unvaxxed 5 month old little girl! she is already sooooooo much healthier than he ever was! its amazing to see the difference. sad, but amazing!
I live in Africa, I have not vaccinated my twin boys and they are now over 4. They have had measles and chicken pox and had them mildly and recovered quickly. There is such a thing as natural immunity and they have never had an antibiotic and never had any infant issues like colic etc. I have doctor friends who’s children are nearly adults and have never had a vaccination. There is no way Im going to poison my children with vaccinations. I dont see any benefit from vaccination except to the financial success of big pharma.
Hello, Stuart.
I was just telling my 9 year old tonight that it was very possible that his brother’s story had been all over the world. WOW! It really has. How amazing. So glad to hear that the awareness is getting out there. It helps mend my broken heart knowing our experience is hopefully saving lives. We were the lucky ones. I do believe Kash will be able to live on his own eventually, he will have children, and he will make a difference in this world. He is amazing. Thank you for your post. It made my night.
God bless you!
Everyone, thank you for your comments. While I’d love to personally comment to everyone, I just cannot do it tonight. I’m not strong enough emotionally,nor do I have the time tonight. I wanted to let you all know that I am going to set up a Facebook page for people to follow Kash. We have had several requests to follow our boy, so I will start this process. I will post here when I have an official page.
I’m writing from Guatemala, Central America. I’ve been involved in biological medicine and natural practices for the last 15 years. I’m so touched reading your story, but at the same time I’m sharing it with others to educate them. In our countries vaccination is very common and side effects are never published (even though they are quite common). People just vaccinate their children because that’s the protocol. I have a daughter and three nephews that have not been vaccinated (at all) and they are perfectly fine, smarter than the average, happy and as healthy as they can be. May Kash be well and happy.
Hi! I would love to follow Kash’s journey on fb. I have 2 little boys who we choose not to vaccinate. My oldest did have DPT shot because at 3, he stepped on a rusty nail
I hate it! But lately we’ve under alot of scrutiny for not vaccinating (we got sick with what everyone thinks is influenza and family cannot understand WHY we wouldn’t get/give the flu shot!) and as much as I hate to admit it, I do begin to kind of question if I’m doing the right thing. Your story has reinforced our decision to stay vaccine free…and I wanted to thank you for that! Your baby is absolutely darling and his experience is not for nothing! It has helping me remember why I don’t give my boys their shots. THANKYOU for being willing to share your story!
For all of you that are wanting to follow Kash and his story, please respond to this with your name that you use on fb and I will try to add you on there. Because there are so many people that feel they have to bash others, and their beliefs, I cannot make a page for Kash at this point. This site allows me the opportunity to share Kash’s story, and have someone else filter all the cruel people and comments. This is something that has had a MAJOR impact on our lives, and the pain and emotion we feel is raw. I cannot put myself, or my family, out there for others to attack. I hope you all understand. In the meantime, please reply to this comment with your full fb name and I will try to add you. Thank you all, and thank you to the administrators of VaxTruth for all of your hard work, as well as protecting us from the negative feedback.
Paige Hipp on fb!
Where are you from? There are several people with that name on fb.
From big spring tx but I don’t think I have all of my info filled out on fb. How can I find you instead?
These comments are fascinating. I have the Mommy gut thing about my son, so he’s not getting any vaxs. I told my husband that his eyes are so bright (I call him Bright-Eyes) and the thing that comes to heart when considering vaxs is that the brightness in his eyes with be snuffed out. I don’t think Moms have intuition for nothing! His three sisters got theirs, up to a certain point before God started to lead me in a direction of knowledge about this stuff. I stopped then and there and praise God Almighty, my children are alive! However… the comments fascinate me because I am dealing with SO many food allergies in my family! And two autoimmune diseases. So to read other mothers stating that food allergies came about after vaxing is intriguing. Between my 3 girls, we have dairy, soy, wheat, tomato allergies, and one has celiac, i have MS, and another daughter has been reacting severely to wheat. We haven’t figured if it’s celiac because her symptoms aren’t “classic” symptoms like they were with her sister. Gosh I’m glad people share their stories so we can all try to make sense of this mess! I pray for the Moms dealing with guilt and/or condemnation.
Oh how I know this can eat a person alive! Lord help us all!!
So thankful that little Kash is still with you and has a message to share! Prayers and blessings to your precious little family. <3
