[tri-med] Re: pneumonia/intubation/futility/CHRIS

Charlotte was intubated with pneumonia just last month for 1 weeks and is doing 
much better now. She has partial trisomy 16, partial monosomy 9. It was at 
Primary Children's Medical Center in Salt Lake City Utah.

Did you have any problem obtaining this treatment?

Thanks, 
Barb
