Absolutely!! And the medal of empowerment to you!!  Thanks for sharing,  how
did you educate and inform this mother?  Was it through communication or
documentation?

As a former sciencetist, I have a tendecy to always want to show proof of what
I am saying to both doctors and parents.  I don't think this is a very
effective way dealing with a situation and it also tends to be very time
consuming for me.  And of course I am trying to change my ways as per this
lovely group of Lacnetters!  So if any of you care to share your empowerment
power, it would be a great thread!!

Smiles,
Yvonne
