It very difficult to know what to do. My child is on a multitude of drugs and I am sure many people would think I am wrong to give them to him.They do not have to live with seeing my child suffer and I will do anything I can to try and stop that.
I feel very much between a rock and a hard place. I am not keen to give my child tamiflu or the vaccine yet that is the direct recommendation of his dr. I can make the choice not to and live with the consequences if swine flu then has an awful or fatal impact on him. I can give it to him and then find the side effects are awful too. We'd never know what would have happened if I had said no to it.
I do my best to make as informed choices as I can but with his condition the research and agreement on treatment isn't there. The only universally agreed treatment is steroids and he has had plenty of them. I weigh up the options of seeing him scream and suffer in agony or try what is suggested. At this point I try the suggestions and hope none of us live to regret it.
