[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 58038, member: 1991"] Saying something is environmental doesn't mean it's your fault. These things just happen. A child born with cerebral palsy due to a difficult birth - the problem is environmental. It's just to distinguish from genetic, or congenital. I was born with a defective kidney, which was discovered by a doctor when I was 19. I had surgery and have been getting by. I have a sister with something similar, and another sister's daughter had something else similar. We believe this to possible have a genetic component also. It is not environmental. Conversely, husband had a detailed ultrasound last week. They found a scar on his kidney, indicating a serious problem, probably a past infection, some unknown time in the past. This is environmental. He has no recollection and neither does his mother, of any past kidney problem, although when he was very young he did have complications from measles. Nobody is blaming husband or his mother for failing to pick up the problem when it was active. But they can see that it was environmental, and not congenital. And whether the SW is right or not - does it change his treatment? If not, I would put the whole issue to one side with a "How interesting - now what?" response. Marg [/QUOTE]
