The hardest part is with brain damage
some doc's don't feel he is worth treating aggressively.  At 4.5 he is doing
well.  He can count to 20, knows his ABC's, loves sports ( I think he's
going to be a sports color newscaster when he grows up as he already calls
the plays on TV games, with hockey and The Red Wings being his favorite).
I've enjoyed the list so far and you've all given me food for the thought
about raising Alex and his future.  Thanks.

I personally think Alex's (my own boy's name, BTW) progress is wonderful.
The docs don't feel "he's worth" treating aggresively?  Wow!  What arrogance
on their part.  Is he going to the clinic at U of M?
