[b]A Sick Child[/b]

A couple of years ago, my husband and I had an awful scare. It started when our youngest son got a cold; well at least we thought it was a cold. When he started with a runny nose and a cough, I [u]         [/u] him some cough medicine. Then, that night, he began to get a fever and it kept [u]         [/u] higher and higher. That’s when I [u]         [/u] my husband that we needed to take him to the emergency room. The doctor asked us if my son had had his vaccinations; he thought that our son might have the measles. I told him that we [u]        [/u]  him the vaccinations because we had been worried about them causing autism. He said that he had seen many children with measles because some parents refused [u]         [/u] their children. He explained that the measles are dangerous and could even kill our son. I was really worried when he said that. 



They decided to put my son in the hospital for a few days because the fever was really high; 41°C, and he had an ear infection and diarrhea. Shortly after that, the rash appeared and the fever started to go down. Eventually, he got better, but because of the severe ear infection, my son now has some hearing loss in one ear. That was a horrible experience. I wish I [u]         [/u] my son his vaccinations. If I had done that my son [u]         [/u] hearing loss now.



Currently, I’m pregnant and our baby will be born in about 4 weeks. I [u]        [/u] more careful with this baby; I won’t risk his heath like we did with my son. If the doctor tells me to give him a vaccination, I [u]         [/u] it to him. Believe me, I’ve learned from my experience.
