: now we may finally be getting answers. They
: have not wanted to diagnois her with BiPolar
: due to her age. I was also given Chloral
: Hydrate, what they give you to put you to
: sleep for surgery but never used it with her
: already having a comprimised airway to start
: with. Does your daughter take meds and if
: so what?? At the case study they told me
