The baby ended up in the hospital for 10 days in which I had to sit and watch my baby stop breathing and his heart rate crash and pray that he would rebound from it. Seems to me if you were to look at what the message from God is re: those homeschooled children, his intent was pretty clear (if you believe in that kind of thing)
Mononucleosis: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia
Mononucleosis, or mono, is a viral infection that causes fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph glands, most often in the neck.Causes Mono is often spread by saliva and close contact. Often, the lymph nodes in the neck are swollen and painful.A pink, measles-like rash can occur, and is more likely if you take the medicine ampicillin or amoxicillin for a throat infection
The Tdap vaccine is also recommended for all pregnant women during the second half of each pregnancy, regardless of whether or not they had the vaccine before, or when it was last given. Pertussis is very contagious, and can spread from person to person through tiny drops of fluid in the air coming from the nose or mouth when people sneeze, cough, or laugh
According to a CDC report, most of the children four years old and younger who got whooping cough nationwide between 1990 and 1996 were not fully immunized. Seems odd...Secondly, why is this story about a child who has not received immunizations getting pertussis? His family is fine; they had their immunizations
90 percent of whooping cough cases in Vermont among vaccinated children
Here are a selection which show the burden of disease on the population (All in respectable journals like the Journal of the American Medical Association, the New England Journal of Medicine, and the Lancet): Thompson WW, Shay DK, Weintraub E, et al. Reply Report comment Kathryn Kinzel : October 30, 2012 at 11:29 am Lou, this paper was demonstrating that IN ADDITION to neutralizing antibodies, there are pathways to immunity that do not involve antibodies, and in fact lead to potential new ways to produce vaccines

How do I avoid spreading Giardia to others? Follow these guidelines to avoid spreading giardiasis to others: Wash your hands with soap and water after using the toilet, changing diapers, and before eating or preparing food. Very young children and the elderly are more likely to develop severe illness and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) than others, but even healthy older children and young adults can become seriously ill
Serious complications include: brain damage pneumonia seizures bleeding in the brain apnea (slowed or stopped bleeding) convulsions death If your infant experiences symptoms of infection, call your doctor immediately. Antibiotics are most effective in the early stages of whooping cough; however they can also be used in the late stages of the infection to prevent it from spreading to others
Whooping Cough, Pertussis - Dr. Weil's Condition Care Guide
Weil recommend for whooping cough?Dr.Weil is concerned by the fact that the most likely cause for the return of whooping cough is that significant numbers of parents have stopped immunizing their children out of concerns over the safety of pertussis vaccine. Estimates may be artificially low since many adults and older children with the disease probably haven't been reported or treated.What are the symptoms of whooping cough? Early symptoms may appear like those of a common cold: runny nose, sneezing, conjunctivitis (or pink eye), an occasional cough, and a mild fever
The artificial stimulation of your immune system produced by lab altered bacteria and viruses simply does not replicate the exact response that your immune system mounts when naturally encountering the infectious microorganism. Cherry, MD, reveals that estimates for pertussis vaccine efficacy have been significantly inflated due to the case definitions adopted by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1991, which required laboratory confirmation and 21 days or more of paroxysmal cough

Good luck and try not to worry, mama! Click on text to edit Delete From: NurseMom10 To: MommyBeeBee Posted: Sep-21 11:10 PM (7 of 17) Hello I cared for a baby on my floor who was swabbed for pertussis and was i was quite concerned. There is a high risk of infection and hospitalization due to server complications in infants (pneumonia, seizures) with pertussis and I would not risk passing it on to your child if I were you
Postexposure Antimicrobial Prophylaxis (PEP) CDC supports targeting postexposure antibiotic use to persons at high risk of developing severe pertussis and to persons who will have close contact with those at high risk of developing severe pertussis. If treatment for pertussis is started early in the course of illness, during the first 1 to 2 weeks before coughing paroxysms occur, symptoms may be lessened
Pertussis (Whooping Cough) - body, contagious, causes, What Is Pertussis?

How Soon After Starting Antibiotics Can a Child Return to School? - FamilyEducation.com
Even if a child has completed the appropriate amount of antibiotic to stop him from being contagious, the child may still have fever, act fatigued, or have a poor appetite. Q: How soon after a young child has begun taking antibiotics should he return to school? The research I've read says that once a child has been taking the medication for 24 hours, it's okay for him to return to school
You're making an assumption there Alert moderator Reg : 19 Aug 2012 9:13:01am Antonia, I recognize your role as Devil's Advocate but wonder if you know that in relation to POLIO, the method of infection and transference, is still not understood. Why is this? Alert moderator AGS : 27 May 2013 12:18:14am For those kids that are allergic to vaccines it is even more important that all the other non-allergic kids are vaccinated so that we maintain the 'herd immunity' and decrease the chances that the non-vaccinated kids will get infected Alert moderator AGS : 27 May 2013 12:22:04am Also keep in mind that the severe symptoms of the whooping cough can cause brain damage (due to lack of oxygen)
Whooping cough - BabyCentre
The infection usually happens in three stages: To begin with, your baby may show typical cold or flu symptoms, such as sneezing, a runny nose and a low-level fever (NHS 2014a, NICE 2010). If your child missed out on any of the early scheduled vaccinations, you can have him vaccinated now by calling your surgery and making an appointment (DH 2011)

How to Treat Whooping Cough Naturally- Holistic Squid
I did lots of research, and discovered some nutrient rich foods that really supported healing in the lungs, and an herb that is AMAZING for coughing fits. Nasal steroids are pretty safe and I would have given it to my child even if he were an infant to save him from that whoop!!! I would probably have a baby lie flat after spraying it in to get it back as far as possible
My child has (I have) been diagnosed with whooping cough and had several antibiotics, steroids, inhalers and cough medicines, none of which have done any good. Many are also complimentary about the site, usually saying something like; "Thank goodness I found your site, now I know for sure what my child has (or I have)
Whooping Cough: Preventable, Contagious,Severe? Which One is True?
Could it be possible that your child may have a weakened respiratory tract that makes him vulnerable to respiratory illness? Do you think a vaccine full of chemicals, some of which are there to unnaturally stimulate the immune system would have strengthened his immune system or weakened it further? Every pharmaceutical company currently contracted by the government have been fined billions of dollars as a result of ongoing felony charges. As soon as I realized my omission, I DID talk to the neighbor about whether she would want the little one near her kids (as selective vaccinators, she did not)

However my breathing and asthma since have been very unstable and am now looked after by Lung team who are investigating whether I have aspergillus (mold spores that you can be allergic to when immune system compromised) What I found has given me some relief is to use a proper sinus rinse twice or three times a day as this clears out the gunk and helps reduce inflammation in your nose, but there is no cure for WC and as I have found to my cost it can have long term consequences
