is my 13 yr old daughter. She got a severe strain of the flu in 1998 at 15 months old and due to the uncontrollable fever and dehydration, had a 90 minute seizure that left her a severely disabled child for the rest of her life. She is 100% dependent for all her needs... is hand-fed, diapered, wheelchair bound, non verbal and has no real future. (Dating, working, marrying, birthing, etc.) I think the reality of what can happen far outweighs the possible side effects of the vaccine. This is just MY opinion and reality.

I'm so sorry your little girl went/is going through that! I cant even begin to imagine how scary that must have been. I do think a lot of people forget how serious the flu(any type of flu) can be. Thanks for the reminder, we all need to really weigh our decision carefully.
