Wow! I'm speechless after reading this account.

Wow, very interesting, but not surprising. I'm sure this happens quite often and people don't even realize it.

That is amazing. I'm glad she is finally okay.

I think it emphasizes why parents need to do their own research into the dxes and medications of their kids. Same for the patients themselves.

So sad the girl and her family had to go thru so much. It is nice to see she is doing well now.
