I have 20 million things to do before the sun rises in the morning, but I just felt such a burden to type this post.
In the hospital, with no prior warning, no less than 6 nurses & doctors came to our room to convince us to give the HepB vaccine to our 1 day old son. I was an emotional crazy person and had no idea we would be asked to make that kind of choice. Along with each visit, the nurse or doctor brought with him a paper about the horrible things that could happen if Jonas contracted HepB while in the hospital...I asked several times about the necessity of this vaccine and each time was strongly "encouraged" to give it to him...Against my better judgement and because I was ignorant on the subject I signed the consent form. Here is a short article about recent findings regarding this vaccine:
Hepatitis B Vaccine Triples the Risk of Autism in Infant Boys
Posted by: Dr. Mercola October 08 2009 22,948 views
A new study has shown that giving Hepatitis B vaccine to newborn baby boys more than triples their risk of developing an autism spectrum disorder.
The study’s authors used U.S. probability samples obtained from National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) 1997–2002 datasets. The conclusion states that: “Findings suggest that U.S. male neonates vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine had a 3-fold greater risk of ASD.” The authors also noted that an earlier study by them found that hepatitis B vaccination was associated with receipt of early intervention and special education services. The new study used a different database than their earlier study, and they found same results, suggesting a validation of their findings.
I hate that I didn't know
I hate that I didn't know that I needed to know
I hate that I signed that form against my own instinct
I hate that I will worry about this for a long time
I hate that I will constantly struggle with trusting God with this
and blaming myself for being so ignorant.

1.) Every GOOD and PERFECT gift comes from God.
2.) ALL things work to good for those who love the Lord.
3.) Trust in the Lord and lean not on your own understanding.
4.) Jonas is a beautiful baby boy, and is a blessing to your entire family, and you are a great mother to him. Mothers drop their children on the floor all the time and the kids still turn out perfectly normal.
January, Patrick,
We went through a similar thing: we gave Lyli her 2 month shots because we thought we had to. We thought it was the law. It felt wrong, but we did it anyway. And then we began our research. Thanks to the internet, we common people have access to all kinds of research and information.
God bless you as you parent this wonderful child. May He bless Jonas with perfect health and you with the wisdom to listen to your heart.

Oh, I just wanted to add that it was really unfair of them to gang up on you like that. It's terrible to be bullied by people we trust.
