One Response to “How will this effect her coginitive development?”
I wouldn't think her cognitive development would be impaired in any way. Her hormonal balance, if stabilized with treatments, should be OK. I would think they would have had to have a doctor sign off on this, in order to get it done. I think that there would have been more than one doctor having to agree to this. The hospital that the surgery was performed in would have had their say in whether it should have been done or not. Whose to say that it was the parent's idea? It could have been the doctor's idea and the parents went along with their diagnosis. Some things can seem to be painful and tragic, but this could possibly be a blessing for the child. Who are we to judge these parents as they struggle to make decisions for a child that will never be able to live on her own and lead a normal life.
