In memory of Ryan Thomas Johnson July 16, 2010 – October 31, 2011
Healthy Ryan was taken to his 15 month well-baby check up on October 28, 2011. His mom trusted the doctor who told her vaccine reactions were rare. Ryan was given the the Pneumococcal, DTaP, Hib and Flu vaccines. Afterwards, he cried like crazy and was cranky. He passed away less than 3 days later while at his day care.
The babysitter called to tell his parents that he was dead and his eyes were rolled back in his head and that she had started CPR on him. He was rushed to the hospital where Ryan’s dad showed up first. Soon after, Ryan’s mom showed up.
His dad was in the room while they were working on his lifeless body, holding his hand telling him to “please come through”. He held his son’s lifeless body and sang to him his favorite lullabies one last time before they brought him to get an autopsy, where they would dissect his little body.
From the hospital, they had to go to the police station to be questioned. Ryan’s mom knew in her heart that their babysitter did everything she could for Ryan. They still have a strong relationship and she takes care of Ryan’s Brother Drew.
The next day, they were picking out a casket.
The Medical Examiner called Ryan’s dad to tell him that physically, Ryan has been one of the healthiest looking specimens she has ever worked on. They had to wait 4 months to get the autopsy results back.
His cause of death was ruled SUDC (sudden unexplained death of a child). Vaccines were not mentioned. He passed less than 72 hours after he was given these 6 vaccines.
