DH> A losing battle. When our daughter was born in 1986, the pediatrician of
DH> record told us to put her in a home and forget about her. I fired him
DH> that night.

For people that are supposed to be well educated, they are certainly out of
touch in those areas.  

Our first experience was before our son was even born.  The doctor said
that based on the echo, he told us he had a severe heart defect, and only a
5% of being functional.  

He was wrong on all counts.  He was born with no heart defects at all and
is very functional!  Other than bowel related issues (which can be fixed
with an operation), he is like any other child.  His speach is delayed, but
he picks up more and more all the time. 

The medical professionals need to get up to date on facts and stop living
in their own world..
