JULY 23RD, 1997

VISITATION RIGHTS RESUMED FOR MOTHER AND HER NEW BABY. PATIENT IS THE SECOND ELDEST OF TWELVE, NOW. I WOULD HAVE GREATLY PREFERRED THAT THERE WOULD BE NO INFANT PRESENT IN ANY CAPACITY. WE ARE NOT A PEDIATRIC CENTER, AND INFANTS ARE NOT KNOWN FOR THEIR CLEANLINESS. DESPITE SUCH A STRONG 'CHURCH COMMUNITY' THERE WAS APPARANTLY NOBODY TO TAKE CARE OF THE INFANT. ONE CANNOT EVEN SANATIZE THE INFANT FOR FEAR OF IT EATING THE ALCOHOL. FETAL ALCOHOL SYNDROME ONLY DEVELOPS PRE-BIRTH.

PHILLIPS WANTED TO HOLD THE BABY. PATIENT'S MOTHER EYED HIM SUSPICIOUSLY, BUT I EXPLAINED THAT IF SHE WANTED TO VISIT PATIENT THEN SHE WOULD NEED TO BE CLEAN. SHE ACQUIESCED AFTER THIS.
