Brett's Honey, my heart goes out to you for losing your daughter, and am happy to hear that you got more time with her than you might have. When we took our daughter for her shots (I don't see anything wrong with them) the chicken pox was optional. I opted out of it. I had them as a kid, VERY mild case, and my hubby has never had them despite being put in bed with a brother who did, to try to get him to get them. I usually get the flu shot because (until this years 'shortage') they were free thru work, and I figure it can't hurt. Didn't get one this year, yet didn't get influenza despite nursing my 2 yr old thru a very nasty case. I should have been sick as many times as I was coughed on
