where in Pa are you?? We live in western PA. I highly reccommend Dr.
Gupta at cleveland clinic. He saved my daughter. We were going to
Children's of Pittsburgh and got nowhere. Hannah was on prednisone for
about 9 months and she regained speech. She is still developmentally
delayed but she can talk and understand. It is a long road to recovery
but I feel that steroids are one of the best chances of recovery and
the benefits far outweight the side effects!! - MarthA
