Dodie, Amazing post, and might I add this post was very well-written. You made several great points, and I agree with you on all of them. You choose five really good causes and symptoms of students with TBIs. It’s scary to think that all you wanted to do was watch your child play a sport, and not get hurt, especially with a TBI. Parents have to constantly worry about their child all the time because one little slip or fall, and the child could have serious injuries.…

PRO- The mother refused to allow the doctor to vaccinate her child. “I trust Jenny McCarthy more than you about vaccines.” She said to her doctor. Her ignorance exposed her child to life- threatening diseases and spent lots of money for medication, all because she believed that vaccines cause adverse reactions like autism. I strongly believe that you should vaccinate your child, because the doctor knows what they are doing, not a celebrity.…
