Dear Friends,
Sorry, more thoughts on this.
I think it is like the way I choose to never use the words "failure to
thrive" with a mother for her baby. I personally feel this is a cruel
diagnoses that families don't need to hear. We can use it among
ourselves I do tell them their babies need more calories ASAP and make
a strong, concrete plan for this and help the family make sure the baby
gets back on track.
These words sound so depressingly final.
Thanks,
