Thanks for your presentation. As physicians, we must be careful not to dismiss concerns about babies without thorough evaluation. I commend your efforts in the care of your baby. You did well

Thank you so much for your presentation. There is so much to learn from so many perspectives about this disease and its impact on babies and families.
You were a wonderful advocate for Gia. Sharing your story and professional knowledge in her memory will help others learn and be able to advocate as well. Her little life will have more positive ripples than you may ever know.

Such a beautiful presentation! Working with babies and parents, I really appreciate the emphasis on utilizing the tools around you not giving up.

I would also like to ask, what would be considered a "normal" length of time to see improvement before switching to other alternatives?
