Vaccinurile conteaza
Imagineaza-ti ca intr-o zi copilul tau ia o boala care putea fi preintampinata cu un vaccin. Cum vei trai cu tine stiind ca puteai face ceva sa nu aiba aceasta reactie? Eu am decis ca nu as putea trece foarte usor peste vina. Poate e frica cea care pune stapanire pe mine si ma face sa cumpar vaccinul. Plus ca eu cred ca vaccinurile care sunt pentru toata populatia sunt potrivite si pentru mine sau copilul meu.
Sunt de acord ca e foarte greu sa iei o decizie cand e vorba de altii, chiar daca sunt in grija ta. Tocmai pentru ca e in grija mea si am o responsabilitate a alegerilor pe care le fac sa fie un echilibru potrivit intre “pentru mine” si “pentru el”. Si pana acum copilul meu a simtit destul echilibrate deciziile noastre. A avut cateva episoade de raceala, dar nimic serios.
Uneori ma simt ciudat sa aleg sa il duc la doctor cum nu a facut febra niciodata mai sus de 38 de grade Celsius si greutatea si inaltimea lui au fost mereu in parametri. Totusi ne luam masuri de precautie si nu il tratam dupa cum ni se pare, dar nici nu ne panicam. Pentru el consider ca e necesar sa mergi la doctor si sa asculti sfaturile medicilor. Despre situatia mea e alta poveste :). Am avut o grija exagerata inainte de a ramane insarcinata si un pic dupa. Acum incerc sa imi pastrez sanatatea mentala cu lipsa somnului.
Am vazut copii in jurul nostru care au avut tot felul de reactii de la enterovirusi la boli ceva mai complicate. Sunt fericita chiar ca am vazut vaccinurile protejandu-l o data cu intrarea in colectivitate la cresa si nu as face nimic diferit din alegerile de pana acum.
Imagine that one day your baby catches a disease that could have been avoided with a simple vaccine. How will you live with yourself knowing you could have done something? I decided I couldn’t get very well over the guilt. Maybe it’s the fear that takes over my judgement and makes me buy the vaccine. And moreover I have decided for my kid just like for myself mass vaccines should be just fine.
It’s really tough to make choices when it comes to others, even if they are in your care. I am struggling since he was borne to find the right balance between “my good” and “his good”. And so far my kid has accepted our choices as quite balanced. He’s had a few minor cold episodes, but nothing serious.
Sometimes I feel even strange to go with him to the doctor as his fever never went higher than 38 degrees (Celsius) and his weight and growth have always been regular. Still, we take the precaution of not treating him as we feel or panic. For him I find it necessary to go to the doctor and listen to the doctor’s recommendation. For my condition it is a different thing :). I was quite careful before becoming pregnant and afterwards for a short while. Now I am simply trying to keep my sanity with the lack of sleep.
We saw kids around him which had from enterovirus to more complicated situations. I am happy that for him I have seen the vaccines work with him going to Nursery and I wouldn’t change a thing.
