“PLEASE READ AND SHARE WITH ALL PARENTS. THANK YOU.
The doctors and nurses at Chelsea West hospital have asked if we will share photos of Alba to educate about vaccinations.

Posting these heartbreaking images of our beautiful baby girl who contracted MEASLES is extremely difficult. We are still in hospital [eight] days after being admitted.
She was too young for her MMR vaccination when she got sick which meant she has had to fight this killer virus with no immunity.
Measles is not ‘just a rash,’ it can cause blindness, encephalitis, and pneumonia.

We need to do more people. Get your children vaccinated.
The MMR does not cause life-threatening issues like Measles does. Your babies might feel under the weather for a day or so but believe me you’d accept that over what we have been through.
It has been absolutely horrific watching our daughter fight this with her eyes swollen shut for [four] days. She has been in the dark, scared with a high fever that lasted for over two weeks. In the hospital, she has been scanned, X-rayed, poked, prodded, blood taken, lumbar punctures done, [cannulas] fitted, swabs taken, ECG Eccos, obs done every 20 mins, tube fed, on a drip, oxygen, pumped full of drugs, anti-inflammatory pain relief antibiotics. You name it, she’s had it. The truth is this all could have been prevented if the protection layer of older kids above Alba had been vaccinated.

Educate yourselves, talk about it, spread the word SHARE THIS POST. Do whatever you need to do because without the care of Chelsea and West doctors our beautiful baby would not be here today.
All of the tests that were done in the hospital were imperative to determine what was wrong with Alba. Even though the doctors thought it was measles from the start, she deteriorated fast and was [in extremely poor condition]. Alba was also showing symptoms of Kawasaki disease, possible meningitis and of course secondary infections amongst other illnesses that come with measles.
