Two more comments:

1) The rate of CP has stayed consistent in spite of research and discoery
of risk factors.  Maybe there isn't anything we really can do to prevent
CP, only treat the symptoms.

2) If we agonize over "what ifs" and "if onlys" then we go mad and start
blaming everyone else and everything.  I think acceptance of what is is the
key to happiness and peace of mind.

Or this: Before my sister was born in 1949, the doctor told our mother
about the Rh factor. and he was concerned Nancy would have a problem. She
didn't. and when I came along in 1954-55, mother went to the same doctor,
who said, "Don't worry about that, we've never had that problem."  Wouldn't
you know, I'd be the one to develop trouble?  Life is simply not fair.  The
sooner we get that fact in our minds, the better off we will be.
