God Bless you Nicole. Thanks for sharing. I too have three children (4 years, 2 years and 8 months)We have not had to give the shot as of yet but I sure appreciate you posting your experience to this board!!! Maybe those who were not so kind were just reacting to all the bad memories that they had during those stressful times before diagnosis. My 8 month old cah son was knocking on death's door before he was diagnosed. Barbara
