Old Pictures of my grandfather..he raised me and I will always call him DAD...

In memory of my DAD...although he was my grandfather he raised me and took me in as his own, he was the best father I could ever have asked for....these are just some random pictures in his memory....." Daddy you are deeply missed"

It's been a long time.....

It's has been awhile since I have been on here, finally got most everything put where it belongs in our new place. Everything is pretty much settled. As for the kids all 3 of the boys made the honor roll this 9 weeks...!!!!!!...YEAH!!! We are so proud of them.

My hubby finally was made full time at his work, so now we can have benefits...YEAH again.

As for me still working 2 jobs but have taken some time off from school. (FYI...please say a little prayer..I was stuck by a needle at work during a venipuncture and now I have to get my blood taken every 6 weeks...).

My dog is still lazy, that will never change. TJ my middle son with autism has hit puberty and his meds have quit working, so he is a little off the wall now...going through medication changes are rough, trying to find the right dose that works for him, let alone the right medication to put him on....this is week 5 or 6 now..not sure..we have lost count.

The oldest is a stubborn teenager....but him being bi-polar is making it much worse....since he made good grades we promised him her could get his learners permit...God help us all with him driving......

The youngest is growing up and no longer has the little boy look, he will be 10 next month..I can't believe it. Wow do I feel old.....

I will post some picture as soon as a I can....

Peace and hugs
Kim

MMR and Autism

Before this came out, I had more than one reason to personally believe MMR is not the cause of Autism. Just my personal thoughts, experience and information I had been told by other parents. Too many people still have autism even though they were not vaccinated at all....

Thursday, February 12, 2009

A special vaccine court ruled against parents with autistic children Thursday, saying that vaccines are not to blame for their children's neurological disorder.


The judges in the cases said the evidence was overwhelmingly contrary to the parents' claims — and backed years of science that found no risk.


"It was abundantly clear that petitioners' theories of causation were speculative and unpersuasive," the court concluded in one of a trio of cases ruled on Thursday.


The ruling, which was anxiously awaited by health authorities, was a blow to families who have filed more than 5,000 claims for compensation through the government's Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. The claims are reviewed by special masters serving on the U.S. Court of Claims.


To win, the families' attorneys had to show that it was more likely than not that the autism symptoms in the children were directly related to a combination of the measles-mumps-rubella shots and other shots that at the time carried a mercury-containing preservative called thimerosal.


But the court concluded that "the weight of scientific research and authority" was "simply more persuasive on nearly every point in contention.
"

The court still has to rule on separate claims from other families who contend that rather than a specific vaccine combination, the lone culprit could be thimserosal, a preservative that is no longer in most routine children's vaccines.
But in Thursday's rulings, the court may have sent a signal on those cases, too:

"The petitioners have failed to demonstrate that thimerosal-containing vaccines can contribute to causing immune dysfunction," a judge wrote about one theory that the families proposed to explain how autism might be linked.


In 2001, parents began filing petitions for compensation through the vaccine compensation program. In all, more than 5,300 claims were eventually filed alleging that vaccines caused autism or autism-like symptoms.


The petitioners originally sought to present three different theories of how vaccines could cause autism. For each theory, there were to be three test cases.
