21 years ago is when my son was born. 21 years + 18 weeks when I said NO to doctors suggestion that I should have an abortion because of the abnormalities they have found doing scans. They offered a label too - a particular syndrome, and suggested that he'd have a moderate to severe learning difficulty.
I was an Occupational therapist at the time and worked with many disabled people, NONE of whom had said 'I wish i was never born!' Our baby was planned, he was wanted, he was loved so I gave my power over to what may be.
Once he was born I once again declined doctors recommendation that he should be on lifelong prophylactic antibiotics or have the many vax's (he was born without a spleen).
It was hard decision, going against the 'establishment', I was I a room with 7 drs and professors telling me this is what i should do.
Feeling the weight of responsibility on my shoulders, I took it upon myself to do everything I could to support my child's health. , healthy food, being present for him, plenty of rest and drawing on support from complimentary medicine.
It was then that I found . I liked it as it considers individual's emotional, mental and well as physical state and it does not have side effects.
As a healthcare professional I as able to study with the and later .of.health and have since supported may people, including those who are immuno suppresed and have been able to enjoy great health where previously prescribed one antibiotic after another & remained unwell.
It's my son today. Healthy, clever, able, .. just a normal kid. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you B!
I am grateful that I trusted my knowing, my gut. In fact, according to it's the small intestine that influences our discernment, our decision making. and for this we need a healthy gut! Antibs don't help with that!
footnote:
I am also grateful to the doctors at the who operated my baby when he needed that.
This is my personal story and I bear no judgement on what people decide for themselves! I do care that they should be able to
Hmm, did i influence his physiology in utero with my thinking?
