[tri-med] Re: hesitancy to treat

<<Now as I reread this letter I get the feeling that if you don't 
walk, have the ability to sight read a few dozen words and are not 
verbal then you're out of luck?>>


Philina can walk now true enough, and she does recognize a few words,
especially her name (though she claims a few "P" words to it that 
aren't), but she is virtually non verbal (signs though).  Still only 
the first 2 cardiologists, and the first ENT & Optomologist she saw 
questioned treating her.  Everyone else has been super.  Can't say 
as much for some of the teachers who labeled her as undeserving of 
their time and effort.
