Symptom narrative

I was pregnant while receiving the Covid vaccine. Child was born 9/XX/XX, with a large swollen head and a normal trunk/legs that looked tiny compared to her head. We had concerns about child's growth and development. By 16 months of age, we brought child to the hospital because of polyps and extreme discharge coming out of her ear, which resulted in a CT scan determining large lesions that had been growing for many months. She was diagnosed with a slow growing rare cancer called Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis, which had taken up her whole right mastoid (and coming out of her ear), her left mastoid, her spleen, and liver shadows. This disease was in her body for a long period of time and continued progressing. Now that research is coming out about Covid vaccines and rare complications such as LCH, I am concerned about my child's future because of the 2 vaccines I received while pregnant. The vaccines were pushed on me to be ?safe and effective? yet it was such a new vaccine that more research should have been done to safely say the warnings and concerns. I have been saying since day 1 of her diagnosis that it was the vaccine when I was pregnant (and I am pro-vaccine!).
