Dear Berna,

I'm just learning, so I probably won't be much help, but I have a few
questions that others may share:

1.)  Where and how severe was the trauma?  Is there any residual deficit?
     Is the mom physically challenged?
2.)  Has she had a lab workup?  How are her estrogen, progesterone, prolactin
     and pitocin levels?
3.)  Is this G1P1, or have there been others?  If any, how is their history?

I'd really like to know the DX & TX when you solve this.  Please e-mail me
if you
don't post it.

Thanks in advance, and good luck!

Jonathan
