Thanks for the encouragement Kartier! I really do appreciate it. I have to ask if anyone filed an out of court settlement with their pediatricians? Because all of this was not caught 18 months ago, there is going to be the cost of the surgery (which was preventable), my time loss from my self-employed job, my daughter's dad's time loss off work, and at least a 6 month delay in my nursing school which means 6 months lost wages once I graduate. I loved her pediatrician. I just want her to learn from all of this. She feels horrible and knows that she messed up. I want to focus and getting my daughter through all of this but it's hard when you don't know how you will make the finances work out during this long road and after.

Melissa, I know you will pull through. Just take it one day at a time and let yourself feel the way you need to!
