Eliza: Absolutely! Where the internet can be a scary place for some moms when confronted with that information, it can also be that first step toward recovery — like it was for you. One of the things that you mentioned in your book was that you and your sisters practiced your mommy skills with your Cabbage Patch dolls! We all have those childhood ideals of motherhood. For those of us who envisioned our motherhood would be one way and all the sudden we discover it is actually going to be very different, what is your advice?
Jenny: You know everyone kept saying to me when the sh*t hit the fan — and you can write that any which way you can (laughing) —
Eliza: We’ll put some asterisks in there… (laughing)
Jenny: You know that God does not give you what you can’t handle. I knew I’ve always been a strong, pick-myself-up-off-the-ground kind of girl, no matter what. When it happened to me I said, “Yeah, this is not the type of motherhood that I expected, but this is the motherhood that I’ve been given. So I am not going to cry and say ‘Why?’ or ‘What if?’ I am going to move forward, forward, forward.” That is always the only option.
Eliza: I loved it when you said [on “The View”] that you called the American Academy of Pediatrics from your hotel room in NYC while on your press tour! I think your idea about administering an immune system screening or test prior to administering vaccines seems like such a great resolution. Have you heard anything back from them? Has there been any progress?
Jenny: No, but you know I have a think-tank meeting coming up with all the scientists and the doctors that have been healing these kids...
