Dear Anonymous
Thanks for your post and I am so sorry that your child is going through this. The timing could have been a mere coincidence or it could be associated with the vaccination. Follow your gut and don't allow anyone to insist that a vaccination can never harm children. They can and they do. They are usually necessary in life and can do a world of good - saving lives and making our health better. But some do maim or kill so investigate over and over until you find answers.
Acute cerebellar ataxia is seen in children often times after being exposed to a virus. The Hep A vaccination is not a live one (a live virus) but still might bear another look. You may come up against many medical professionals who won't even want to discuss the notion that a vaccination can cause something like this to happen (yet the side effects and warning signs given to you after your child has been vaccinated are seemingly endless! I always have to smile ruefully at this) but do seek a second opinion from an open-minded doctor who is at least willing to listen to you.

Neuroblastoma is a cancer of the cells that then cause tumors. Have you been told this is a possibility? If so, look into this immediately. Click on this : http://www.empowher.com/cancer/content/immune-therapy-may-aid-kids-neuro... to find out more.
The vax may have nothing at all to do with anything, or it could. Her condition could also be genetic. But please go ahead and pursue all avenues. I wish your precious child the very best and speedy recovery and please keep us posted. We'll be looking out for updates-
