Well, I didn't intentionally not vaccinate my son, he was actually quite up to date on paper, but I found out today that he failed his titers (no chickenpox or hep b antibodies) and had to have his MMR titer tested again today as they were inconclusive or something (those results are still pending).
But, as the title says, we're rockin' some hardcore drugs (20mg pred, AZA and Remicade) and it really seems like my son should have had all his immunizations in order before getting to this point? (He had his first Remicade today, and gets to stop Lialda tomorrow).
So we were told to wait until his second Remicade infusion to have his hep b immunization, but we're a no-go for pox and, MMR should he need that, too.
What do I do now? Do I make him a bubble? Write Jenny McCarthy hate letters? Squash all dreams of traveling abroad? Can we at least take him to Canada? I do know I will be getting a healthy supply of quality thermometers... that you can't talk me out of!
So I don't know... did I even have a legit question in this ramble?
Oh, and hello, I'm a newb IBS mother to a 10 year old son who has 3ish months of a Crohn's Colitis diagnosis under his belt.
