It may be linked to febrile sezures, according to recent research.
I witnessed my son have a febrile seizure many years ago., at around 20 months. Vomit welled from his mouth, no heaving or retching or struggling - he hated to vomit. I turned him on his side. He was limp and unresponsive and then he started going blue. I picked him up and shook him a bit, thinking, phone, CPR, both, how, breathe... and he started breathing.
There was no flailing or shaking, no noise. I might not have even have noticed if it weren’t for the vomit, even though I was in the room with him.
Imagine an unwitnessed seizure lasting two minutes longer. He didn’t even have a high fever.
My heart goes out to all parents who lost a child like this. I don’t think there’s call to blame vaccines or Covid vaccines, unless the numbers have gone up. And don’t blame the parents and think not me, I am too smart to be in that place. There is no perfect shield against misfortune and grief.
You are so right. Hard lesson. She speaks of having to learn not to assign unbearable guilt to herself.
