- "I do solemnly swear... "
- "I do solemnly swear... "

2
00:00:12,906 --> 00:00:15,247
"... that I will be loyal to the
profession of medicine... "

3
00:00:15,447 --> 00:00:18,489
"... that I will be loyal to the
profession of medicine... "

4
00:00:18,524 --> 00:00:21,024
"... and just and generous

00:00:21,159 --> 00:00:24,113
"... and just and generous

6
00:00:24,148 --> 00:00:27,094
"... that I will prescribe regimen

00:00:27,262 --> 00:00:30,261

10
00:00:36,282 --> 00:00:38,868
"and above all else,

11
00:00:39,038 --> 00:00:42,037
"and above all else,
first do no harm. "

12
00:00:47,868 --> 00:00:49,778
Yep.

13
00:00:49,853 --> 00:00:52,308
That emperor marched down the street...

14
00:00:52,380 --> 00:00:55,130
...in front of all the people
wearing nothing at all?

15
00:00:55,197 --> 00:00:59,540
Yeah. But then a
little boy whispered...

16
00:00:59,613 --> 00:01:03,956
"But Mother, the emperor
has nothing on!"

17
00:01:04,030 --> 00:01:07,064
But see, the tailors had told him
that they made his clothes...

18
00:01:07,135 --> 00:01:09,852
...out of the most splendid cloth
in all the land...

19
00:01:09,919 --> 00:01:12,090
...and that only stupid people
couldn't see it.

20
00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:14,014
The emperor
couldn't see it...

21
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,284
...but he didn't want anybody
to think he was stupid.

22
00:01:16,352 --> 00:01:20,575
The boy could see the silly emperor
didn't have any clothes on.

23
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,023
- Mm-hmm.
- He believed his own eyes.

24
00:01:24,097 --> 00:01:27,545
Did the boy's mother
believe her own eyes?

25
00:01:27,617 --> 00:01:30,520
Hmm. Well, let's see.

26
00:01:30,594 --> 00:01:32,961
No, she didn't, Mommy.

27
00:01:33,026 --> 00:01:34,881
Hmm.

28
00:01:34,946 --> 00:01:36,801
Why?

29
00:01:36,867 --> 00:01:40,479
Well, he was the emperor.

30
00:01:40,547 --> 00:01:43,165
Dad's home
from his poker game.

31
00:01:43,236 --> 00:01:47,011
Oh. Tell him his dinner's
in the oven.

32
00:01:48,357 --> 00:01:50,299
Mr. Turgen's with him.

33
00:01:52,709 --> 00:01:56,703
Okay, buddy.
You come on, into the beddy.

34
00:01:56,773 --> 00:01:59,938
Into the beddy. Yeah.

35
00:02:00,006 --> 00:02:02,756
How much do I love you?

36
00:02:02,823 --> 00:02:05,125
- More than life itself?
- Don't you forget it.

37
00:02:05,191 --> 00:02:07,810
- I want to kiss Daddy.
- When he comes up to bed.

38
00:02:07,879 --> 00:02:10,562
- I want to kiss Mark.
- Mark's doing his homework.

39
00:02:10,631 --> 00:02:13,763
- I want to kiss Lynn.
- He's all yours.

40
00:02:13,832 --> 00:02:17,542
The little bird...

41
00:02:17,608 --> 00:02:20,478
- ... is coming to say good night...
- No! No!

42
00:02:20,553 --> 00:02:23,106
- ... to the little log.
- No!

43
00:02:23,177 --> 00:02:25,316
- Say good night.
- No little bird kisses!

44
00:02:25,385 --> 00:02:29,128
The little log is gonna give
the little bird good night kisses.

45
00:02:32,331 --> 00:02:36,554
- Dave.
- Here she comes.

46
00:02:41,516 --> 00:02:43,371
Hey, Wally.

47
00:02:43,436 --> 00:02:46,087
How are you?

48
00:02:48,364 --> 00:02:50,219
I got coffee on.

49
00:02:50,285 --> 00:02:53,765
Uhh, no, thanks.
I, I gotta get going.

50
00:02:57,038 --> 00:02:58,893
What's up?

51
00:02:58,958 --> 00:03:02,952
Hey, Mr. Turgen. Sweet truck.

52
00:03:03,022 --> 00:03:04,877
Hi, Mark.

53
00:03:06,799 --> 00:03:10,629
I lost.

54
00:03:10,703 --> 00:03:13,071
You lost.

55
00:03:13,136 --> 00:03:16,235
Yeah, well, the good thing
is who I lost to.

56
00:03:16,304 --> 00:03:18,671
Wally. He's willing
to lease it back to us.

57
00:03:18,737 --> 00:03:22,217
Lease what back to us?

58
00:03:24,466 --> 00:03:27,281
Good one, Dad.

59
00:03:27,346 --> 00:03:29,583
He's raggin'on you, Mom.

60
00:03:29,650 --> 00:03:34,473
If you're joking me,
Dave Reimuller, I'm gonna kill you.

61
00:03:34,547 --> 00:03:38,257
And if you're not joking me,
I'm gonna kill you. I will!

62
00:03:38,324 --> 00:03:40,528
Nah!

63
00:03:40,596 --> 00:03:42,985
- Not till you see what I've won.
- Oh, man!

64
00:03:45,972 --> 00:03:49,617
She's yours. Come on.

65
00:03:51,797 --> 00:03:55,376
- Oh, no. Uh-uh.
- Mom!

66
00:03:55,446 --> 00:03:59,473
Oh, honey, do you have any idea how much
a horse like that is worth?

67
00:03:59,543 --> 00:04:02,390
- Wow! - Nothing to me.
She injured a foot as a two-year-old.

68
00:04:02,455 --> 00:04:04,594
She'll never make
a field hunter.

69
00:04:04,663 --> 00:04:08,460
- You could still ride her.
- Mom, please!

70
00:04:08,536 --> 00:04:10,805
As deputy sheriff
and town councilman...

71
00:04:10,872 --> 00:04:12,847
...I order you to take her.

72
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,157
Hey, there, cowpokes!
I'm gonna ride him first!

73
00:04:15,224 --> 00:04:18,039
- Hey!
- Hey, what are you doing outta bed?

74
00:04:18,105 --> 00:04:21,967
Well, you can't sleep now.
Okay, big fella, mount up.

75
00:04:22,042 --> 00:04:25,785
- I'm going to call him "Schwartz".
- Schwartz?

76
00:04:25,850 --> 00:04:27,792
What kind of name
is Schwartz?

77
00:04:27,866 --> 00:04:30,038
I'm sure she already
has a name, Robbie.

78
00:04:30,107 --> 00:04:33,882
Mrs. Schwartz is Robbie's favorite
preschool teacher. Right, honey?

79
00:04:33,947 --> 00:04:37,079
Schwartz likes me.

80
00:04:37,148 --> 00:04:40,050
I guess you can't fight
City Hall, you know?

81
00:04:40,124 --> 00:04:41,586
No, you can't.

82
00:04:42,653 --> 00:04:46,428
- Mr. Turgen gave us this.
- Ohh.

83
00:04:46,493 --> 00:04:49,177
It was taken
at the Vilas County Fair.

84
00:04:49,245 --> 00:04:52,115
I just don't feel right
about taking her.

85
00:04:52,190 --> 00:04:55,289
Well, Wally wanted you to have her.
That's how come he put her in the pot.

86
00:04:55,358 --> 00:04:57,595
How'd you know you'd win?

87
00:04:57,663 --> 00:05:00,445
I always win.
That's why they call me "Lucky Dave".

88
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,944
How much have we got?

89
00:05:06,015 --> 00:05:09,977
Oh, about $600
less than we need.

90
00:05:10,049 --> 00:05:13,115
Great. I'll be taking
my grandchildren to Hawaii.

91
00:05:13,184 --> 00:05:15,388
Why would Wally
want to give me his horse?

92
00:05:15,456 --> 00:05:19,199
He has a thing for you.

93
00:05:19,265 --> 00:05:21,721
Oh, David!

94
00:05:21,794 --> 00:05:25,023
She's lonely, Mom. Listen to her. Can I
go out and keep her company a while?

95
00:05:25,090 --> 00:05:27,392
No, you can go up to bed.
Both of you.

96
00:05:31,171 --> 00:05:33,277
- Can't I watch TV?
- Mm-mm.

97
00:05:33,347 --> 00:05:36,282
- Give me a kiss.
- Thanks, Dad.

98
00:05:36,356 --> 00:05:39,291
- Good night, Dad.
- Oh!

99
00:05:39,364 --> 00:05:44,383
You know, you've completely ruined your
daughter's chances for a happy marriage.

100
00:05:44,453 --> 00:05:49,571
Where on earth is she gonna find a guy
who'll win her dream horse in a poker game?

101
00:05:49,637 --> 00:05:52,158
Well...

102
00:05:52,230 --> 00:05:56,005
what have I done for my chances
for a happy marriage?

103
00:05:58,983 --> 00:06:01,765
Mmm.

104
00:06:01,831 --> 00:06:05,444
I take it back. This is why
they call me "Lucky Dave".

105
00:06:10,633 --> 00:06:12,935
Oh, maybe Lynn's right.

106
00:06:13,001 --> 00:06:16,831
Maybe I should go bed down in her stall
just for the first night.

107
00:06:16,905 --> 00:06:20,451
Or you were hoping
I'd bed down in yours?

108
00:06:20,522 --> 00:06:23,173
- Yes.
- Show a little appreciation?

109
00:06:23,242 --> 00:06:26,920
- Somethin' like that.
- Oh, sorry, Schwartz.

110
00:06:26,987 --> 00:06:29,605
Kansas City's
number-one-rated country music...

111
00:06:29,675 --> 00:06:31,847
Mom, do you know where my backpack is?

112
00:06:31,915 --> 00:06:34,403
No. You think back
to where you last saw it.

113
00:06:34,476 --> 00:06:36,931
Found it!

114
00:06:37,004 --> 00:06:39,208
- Did you make your bed?
- I'll do it before we leave.

115
00:06:39,277 --> 00:06:41,611
- Hey, Mom, I want to ride Schwartz.
- A little later.

116
00:06:41,676 --> 00:06:43,684
- You said I could ride him.
- Yeah.

117
00:06:43,757 --> 00:06:45,862
- It's a her.
- How do you know?

118
00:06:45,933 --> 00:06:47,876
After school you can.

119
00:06:47,949 --> 00:06:50,667
- Promise?
- Uh-huh. Scout's honor.

120
00:06:50,734 --> 00:06:52,905
Get the oil changed
in the car today.

121
00:06:52,974 --> 00:06:55,528
Yeah. I'll drop it off
on my way.

122
00:06:55,599 --> 00:06:59,341
Okay, troops...
we have five minutes.

123
00:07:01,712 --> 00:07:04,134
Ooh! Strong, darlin'.

124
00:07:04,207 --> 00:07:08,583
- Fertilizer should be in in
a couple of weeks. - Good.

125
00:07:08,656 --> 00:07:12,399
And you can tell Nancy that...

126
00:07:12,465 --> 00:07:14,570
Thanks, Lori.
See you next week.

127
00:07:14,641 --> 00:07:16,496
- Hey, Doc.
- Hey, Lori.

128
00:07:16,562 --> 00:07:18,667
Looks like the airline's
got you busy.

129
00:07:18,738 --> 00:07:21,073
Yeah, I'm flying K.C. - Denver -
San Francisco this month.

130
00:07:21,138 --> 00:07:24,302
- And I'm plantin' my crops whenever
I have a few minutes. - Ooh.

131
00:07:24,370 --> 00:07:26,509
So, are you still
seein' patients too?

132
00:07:26,579 --> 00:07:28,587
Not for years.
That was another life.

133
00:07:28,660 --> 00:07:31,791
I wouldn't know a stethoscope if it
jumped up and strangled me.

134
00:07:31,859 --> 00:07:34,926
Oh, I hear you have a new mouth to feed
over at your place.

135
00:07:34,996 --> 00:07:37,233
Wally Turgen's hunter.

136
00:07:37,301 --> 00:07:39,570
- Old Mill Hardware.
- Where'd you hear that?

137
00:07:39,636 --> 00:07:43,085
- Paperboy this morning.
- Oh. Grapevine must be slippin'.

138
00:07:43,157 --> 00:07:46,933
We had her at least
seven hours by then.

139
00:07:46,998 --> 00:07:51,025
Lori, that was Robbie's school.
He took a tumble.

140
00:07:51,095 --> 00:07:54,128
He's okay, but they
want you to check it out.

141
00:07:54,199 --> 00:07:56,882
Oh, okay. Oh!
My car's in the shop.

142
00:07:56,951 --> 00:08:00,530
- You need a ride over there?
- Is that all right?

143
00:08:00,599 --> 00:08:04,047
Thanks. I really
appreciate this, Doc.

144
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,008
Well, I wouldn't have bothered you
except for the way he fell.

145
00:08:09,081 --> 00:08:11,253
He was taking
a snack plate to the trash...

146
00:08:11,321 --> 00:08:13,492
- and it seemed like he just
kind of collapsed. - Uh-huh.

147
00:08:13,561 --> 00:08:16,376
But he got right up,
and he's been fine ever since.

148
00:08:16,442 --> 00:08:18,482
Hey, how come you
fell down, kiddo?

149
00:08:18,554 --> 00:08:21,816
- I didn't fall down.
- Well, I'll give his pediatrician a call.

150
00:08:21,882 --> 00:08:25,330
- I made a picture of the emperor. See?
- The emperor?

151
00:08:25,403 --> 00:08:28,633
- Oh, that's goo...
- No. Like this.

152
00:08:28,699 --> 00:08:33,206
Oh, that... Yeah.
Well, I like it better the other way.

153
00:08:34,653 --> 00:08:36,857
He's okay, I think.

154
00:08:36,925 --> 00:08:39,380
Hey, Dr. Peterson, do you
want to see my picture?

155
00:08:47,390 --> 00:08:49,496
Hey, Mom!
I wanna ride Schwartz!

156
00:08:49,566 --> 00:08:53,942
- She's not ready yet.
- I'm ready now!

157
00:08:54,014 --> 00:08:56,186
When we're done
lunging her you can.

158
00:08:56,255 --> 00:08:58,776
You promised.
Scout's honor!

159
00:08:58,848 --> 00:09:01,052
Oh, oh! Wait. No, wait.

160
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,990
We gotta get the beans out of Schwartz
before we put you on her.

161
00:09:04,065 --> 00:09:06,716
Don't want to have
two matching shiners, do we?

162
00:09:06,785 --> 00:09:11,258
Hey, Mark, I got a world-class
assistant truck washer here.

163
00:09:11,329 --> 00:09:14,778
Happens to have an opening
in his schedule.

164
00:09:16,162 --> 00:09:18,104
All right, squirt.

165
00:09:18,178 --> 00:09:20,633
- Hey, stop calling me squirt!
- Mark.

166
00:09:20,706 --> 00:09:24,962
Fine. When I finish washing a spot,
you rinse it off.

167
00:09:25,027 --> 00:09:27,646
Oh, but, whatever you do,
don't do this.

168
00:09:27,716 --> 00:09:30,105
Hey, quit it!
Mom, Mark squirted me!

169
00:09:30,180 --> 00:09:32,035
Mark, be nice
to your brother.

170
00:09:33,732 --> 00:09:35,674
Sorry.
Here you go, squirt.

171
00:09:35,749 --> 00:09:38,466
You told me to squirt!

172
00:09:40,133 --> 00:09:42,752
Ohhh, I'm drenched.

173
00:09:42,822 --> 00:09:46,685
You know I'm just gonna have to get you
back double for what you did to me.

174
00:09:46,758 --> 00:09:48,963
I'm comin'.

175
00:09:49,031 --> 00:09:51,966
Robbie? Robbie,
quit screwing around.

176
00:09:52,039 --> 00:09:54,886
That's it.

177
00:09:54,952 --> 00:09:57,407
Robbie?

178
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,928
Mom! Mom! Mom, come quick!
Something's wrong with Robbie!

179
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,888
Hurry, Mom! Hurry!

180
00:10:02,952 --> 00:10:05,603
Mom!

181
00:10:09,033 --> 00:10:12,350
Oh, Robbie, Robbie.
It's okay.

182
00:10:12,426 --> 00:10:15,874
It's okay.
It's okay.

183
00:10:15,946 --> 00:10:17,248
It's okay.

184
00:10:18,218 --> 00:10:20,073
It's okay.

185

186
00:10:35,021 --> 00:10:38,153
He was admitted 45 minutes ago,
and he's still post-stictal.

187
00:10:38,221 --> 00:10:40,807
Lori, Dave,
this is Dr. Neaves...

188
00:10:40,878 --> 00:10:42,536
- the ped's neurological
consultant here. - Hi.

189
00:10:42,606 --> 00:10:45,421
- Hi.
- He knows a lot about epilepsy.

190
00:10:45,487 --> 00:10:47,821
Epilepsy?

191
00:10:47,886 --> 00:10:50,156
Uh, yes. One seizure
is just a seizure...

192
00:10:50,223 --> 00:10:52,263
...but two, by definition,
is epilepsy.

193
00:10:52,335 --> 00:10:54,190
But he's only had one.

194
00:10:54,255 --> 00:10:57,125
The fall you called me about this morning
was probably another kind of seizure.

195
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,299
So we're going to admit him and
watch him for a couple of days.

196
00:11:00,368 --> 00:11:03,183
But this is a kid who
hardly catches a cold.

197
00:11:03,249 --> 00:11:05,158
How could he
have epilepsy?

198
00:11:05,233 --> 00:11:07,786
Well, there's a lot of different
triggers for seizure disorders.

199
00:11:07,857 --> 00:11:11,819
We're gonna run some tests
and see what we can find out.

200
00:11:11,890 --> 00:11:14,312
I think the best way to understand
what a seizure is...

201
00:11:14,387 --> 00:11:17,736
...is to think of it as
a short-circuit in Robbie's brain.

202
00:11:17,811 --> 00:11:20,266
Something interferes
with the normal electrical flow...

203
00:11:20,339 --> 00:11:22,728
...and everything goes
temporarily haywire.

204
00:11:22,803 --> 00:11:25,586
Oh, oh, oh. It's okay. It's okay.
Look at you so brave.

205
00:11:30,101 --> 00:11:32,043
Now, Robbie's going
to need a CATscan...

206
00:11:32,117 --> 00:11:35,565
...so we can see if his seizures have
a cause that we can treat surgically.

207
00:11:37,078 --> 00:11:39,729
We'll inject a dye
while his head is being X-rayed...

208
00:11:39,798 --> 00:11:41,740
...and then a computer
takes a picture...

209
00:11:41,814 --> 00:11:44,302
...just as if we'd cut
a slice of the brain.

210
00:11:50,231 --> 00:11:54,966
The EEG is used for comparison if
Robbie's seizures change in character.

211
00:11:55,031 --> 00:11:58,644
It's helpful in diagnosing
some special forms of epilepsy.

212
00:11:58,712 --> 00:12:02,935
We do these tests to find out if your
son has a tumor or lesion in his brain.

213
00:12:06,521 --> 00:12:10,799
- A spinal tap is used to rule out bacterial
meningitis. - Hold him just like that.

214
00:12:10,874 --> 00:12:13,395
If we catch it early, it can easily
be treated with antibiotics.

215
00:12:13,467 --> 00:12:16,282
Usually we don't find anything.

216
00:12:22,204 --> 00:12:24,888
We don't necessarily
need to find a cause.

217
00:12:24,956 --> 00:12:28,786
Most of the time we don't.
But we do have effective drugs.

218
00:12:28,861 --> 00:12:31,512
As a matter of fact, 70 percent
of kids with epilepsy...

219
00:12:31,581 --> 00:12:35,029
...have their seizures reasonably
controlled with the first medicine.

220
00:12:35,101 --> 00:12:37,338
We'll start Robbie
with phenobarbital.

221
00:12:37,406 --> 00:12:39,861
It's been around the longest,
so we know the most about it.

222
00:12:39,934 --> 00:12:43,164
Although it can cause
behavioral problems...

223
00:12:43,231 --> 00:12:46,646
...and is associated with withdrawal
symptoms and lowered I.Q...

224
00:12:46,718 --> 00:12:50,614
...most kids on phenobarbital
do just fine.

225
00:12:50,687 --> 00:12:53,754
- It's boring! - "And the emperor... "
Oh, Robbie, come on.

226
00:12:53,824 --> 00:12:56,377
I don't wanna read!
It's boring. I hate it.

227
00:12:56,448 --> 00:12:58,816
- I know. All right. You just...
- I hate it!

228
00:12:58,881 --> 00:13:01,499
- I wanna ride my bike!
- You can't ride your bike, honey.

229
00:13:01,569 --> 00:13:05,312
I told you that. Because we don't
want you to fall down and hit your head.

230
00:13:05,377 --> 00:13:07,679
I wanna go ride Schwartz!

231
00:13:07,745 --> 00:13:10,080
- You can't ride Schwartz. I told you,
sweetie. - I wanna go pet him!

232
00:13:10,146 --> 00:13:12,481
- Anybody home!
- Let's go see who this is.

233
00:13:12,546 --> 00:13:14,434
Come on.
Maybe it's the emperor.

234
00:13:14,499 --> 00:13:16,768
- Hey!
- It's just Margeen.

235
00:13:16,835 --> 00:13:20,284
Well, nice to see you too, Robbie.

236
00:13:20,356 --> 00:13:24,699
You can go play upstairs
in your room quietly, but no jumping.

237
00:13:24,772 --> 00:13:27,041
You hear me?

238
00:13:29,028 --> 00:13:30,971
I ran into
Doc Peterson today.

239
00:13:31,045 --> 00:13:33,314
He wanted to know if Robbie's okay after
the fall he took at school.

240
00:13:33,381 --> 00:13:36,546
I told him I wouldn't know
since I hadn't seen you in a dog's age.

241
00:13:36,614 --> 00:13:38,469
Where have you been?

242
00:13:38,534 --> 00:13:40,738
Home, with Robbie.

243
00:13:40,806 --> 00:13:43,524
What's the matter with him?

244
00:13:43,591 --> 00:13:46,079
Well, they're not sure.

245
00:13:46,151 --> 00:13:49,348
Probably just a virus.

246
00:13:49,416 --> 00:13:52,613
He's on medication, but it's...
he's having a reaction to it.

247
00:13:52,680 --> 00:13:54,655
- Coffee?
- Sure.

248
00:13:54,729 --> 00:13:57,412
What kind of reaction?

249
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,059
Well... he won't eat,
can't sleep...

250
00:14:01,129 --> 00:14:04,545
...and he thinks that he can leap
tall furniture in a single bound.

251
00:14:04,618 --> 00:14:07,204
What kind of medicine is he on?

252
00:14:07,274 --> 00:14:10,024
What!

253
00:14:10,091 --> 00:14:12,906
Our insurance company's
computer...

254
00:14:12,971 --> 00:14:16,998
...is unable to handle the fact
that Dave has transferred union locals.

255
00:14:17,068 --> 00:14:21,127
So I submit a bill;
they send it back to me.

256
00:14:21,196 --> 00:14:23,717
I resubmit it;
they send it back to me.

257
00:14:23,789 --> 00:14:26,211
I mean, it's...

258
00:14:26,284 --> 00:14:28,968
- Want me to go check on him?
- No, it's all right.

259
00:14:29,037 --> 00:14:31,852
I'll go up myself
in a second.

260
00:14:31,918 --> 00:14:35,213
What's new?

261
00:14:35,278 --> 00:14:38,661
Robbie!

262
00:14:41,263 --> 00:14:43,303
- Check his room.
- Okay.

263
00:14:43,375 --> 00:14:46,823
Robbie!

264
00:14:46,895 --> 00:14:49,678
Hey! How are you...
Come back here!

265
00:14:49,744 --> 00:14:52,078
- Come here, sweetie.
- You'll never catch me!

266
00:14:52,144 --> 00:14:54,991
- Ohh! Rob!
- I'm too speedy!

267
00:14:58,417 --> 00:15:02,062
Come here, honey!

268
00:15:02,130 --> 00:15:05,130
- Ohhh!
- Oh! Ow! It hurts!

269
00:15:08,018 --> 00:15:11,728
It's okay.
It's all right.

270
00:15:11,795 --> 00:15:14,185
- It's okay. Stay here.
- Ow! It hurts!

271
00:15:14,259 --> 00:15:17,227
I know, I know, I know, I know.

272
00:15:22,868 --> 00:15:25,323
I want my Mom!

273
00:15:25,396 --> 00:15:27,568
Hello, this is Lori Reimuller...
S

274
00:15:27,637 --> 00:15:31,794
...and I need to talk to Dr. Miller
about Robbie's medication.

275
00:15:31,861 --> 00:15:34,414
Now!

277
00:15:41,175 --> 00:15:45,910
- Hey, when's this new stuff...
What's it called? - Dilantin.

278
00:15:45,975 --> 00:15:48,659
When's this Dilantin
supposed to kick in?

279
00:15:48,728 --> 00:15:51,030
Oh, about a week.

280
00:15:51,096 --> 00:15:53,584
They're tapering off
the phenobarb...

281
00:15:53,656 --> 00:15:57,585
...and they're getting the Dilantin
up to a level where it'll work.

282
00:15:57,657 --> 00:16:00,953
What did he do? Break every bottle
of perfume in the house?

283
00:16:01,018 --> 00:16:03,026
This place smells
like a brothel.

284
00:16:03,098 --> 00:16:06,262
Hmm. Not that you'd know
what a brothel smelled like.

it has been a while.

00:16:25,309 --> 00:16:27,164
Mmm.

Listen.

He's okay.

00:16:35,423 --> 00:16:38,009
Don't let your imagination
run away with you.

295
00:16:38,079 --> 00:16:40,250
You'll drive yourself crazy.

00:16:40,319 --> 00:16:42,174
Yeah.

Be careful.
You'll wake him.

300
00:17:03,842 --> 00:17:07,585
I'm just gonna...
I'm just gonna cover him up...

301
00:17:07,651 --> 00:17:10,106
...make him cozy.

302
00:17:38,952 --> 00:17:41,057
This is embarrassing.

What do you mean bringing home
a report card like this?

No kid of mine is gonna do
better than I did in school.

305
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,375
- Don't have to make A's to do that.
- Well...

306
00:17:50,441 --> 00:17:53,637
You have me to make
you look good.

307
00:17:59,690 --> 00:18:01,665
I hate grammar!
It's boring!

308
00:18:01,739 --> 00:18:03,943
Well, no argument there.

309
00:18:04,011 --> 00:18:07,110
Um, what would make it
less boring?

310
00:18:07,179 --> 00:18:10,311
If Miss Kirchwall taught naked.

311
00:18:10,380 --> 00:18:12,868
Gross!

312
00:18:16,493 --> 00:18:19,559
For a year I've been putting money away
to buy your mom a good horse.

313
00:18:19,629 --> 00:18:21,964
Now we've got Schwartz.

314
00:18:22,029 --> 00:18:25,706
- I want to ride him.
- Mm-hmm.

315
00:18:25,774 --> 00:18:29,735
How boring would it be
if I added that money to the trip jar...

316
00:18:29,806 --> 00:18:32,774
...and booked us
to Hawaii next month?

317
00:18:32,847 --> 00:18:35,946
And there was even enough
money left over for, um...

318
00:18:36,015 --> 00:18:39,146
...scuba diving lessons
when we got there?

319
00:18:41,296 --> 00:18:45,486
Bring your grades up
to a mere... "B", and it's a deal.

320
00:18:45,553 --> 00:18:49,481
- I'll help you.
- Whoa. Grammar rules!

321
00:18:51,953 --> 00:18:54,539
Incentive.

322
00:18:54,609 --> 00:18:57,130
Bribery.

323
00:19:01,330 --> 00:19:04,746
Oh.
We're closed!

324
00:19:07,667 --> 00:19:10,385
Sorry, we're cl...

325
00:19:13,620 --> 00:19:15,475
- Sorry, we're closed.
- Lori?

326
00:19:15,540 --> 00:19:17,777
- Yeah.
- Bob Purdue. High school.

327
00:19:17,845 --> 00:19:20,017
I was a couple years
ahead of you.

328
00:19:20,085 --> 00:19:23,434
- Oh, yeah.
- Can I talk to you for a minute?

329
00:19:23,509 --> 00:19:25,364
Sure.

330
00:19:26,678 --> 00:19:28,533
- So how you been?
- Good.

331
00:19:28,598 --> 00:19:30,453
How's your boy, Robbie?

332
00:19:30,519 --> 00:19:32,941
Uh, h-how do you know Robbie?

333
00:19:33,014 --> 00:19:35,830
I was in here a couple of months ago.
He was being your little helper.

334
00:19:35,895 --> 00:19:38,710
He took me right over
to the garden tools.

335
00:19:38,775 --> 00:19:40,783
I'm sorry I didn't
recognize you then.

336
00:19:40,856 --> 00:19:42,961
Oh, that's all right.
You were busy.

337
00:19:43,032 --> 00:19:46,381
Such an ugly disease for such a sweet
little guy to have, isn't it?

338
00:19:46,456 --> 00:19:48,628
Epilepsy.

339
00:19:50,105 --> 00:19:52,724
Who told you
Robbie had epilepsy?

340
00:19:52,794 --> 00:19:54,965
I saw his prescription
at the pharmacy.

341
00:19:55,034 --> 00:19:58,330
I've taken the same drugs.
I've had epilepsy since I was four.

342
00:20:00,154 --> 00:20:02,194
So you hide it?

343
00:20:02,266 --> 00:20:05,879
No. Actually, they're not
even sure Robbie has epilepsy.

344
00:20:05,948 --> 00:20:08,948
He's only had a few episodes.

345
00:20:09,020 --> 00:20:12,436
Doctors are talking about
taking him off medication.

346
00:20:12,508 --> 00:20:14,876
You sound a little
like my parents.

347
00:20:14,941 --> 00:20:17,210
They still won't say
the word "epilepsy. "

348
00:20:17,276 --> 00:20:20,823
They call it "Bob's spells"
or "Bob's condition".

349
00:20:20,893 --> 00:20:22,966
I don't remember 'em
using the word "episodes",

350
00:20:23,037 --> 00:20:25,077
but I'm sure they threw
that one in there too.

351
00:20:25,150 --> 00:20:27,005
What did you want
to talk to me about?

352
00:20:27,071 --> 00:20:29,788
Lori, I know this seems
like none of my business...

353
00:20:29,855 --> 00:20:32,572
...but Robbie's gonna need
a strong ally.

354
00:20:32,639 --> 00:20:35,640
Robbie's got plenty of allies.
He's got his family,

355
00:20:35,653 --> 00:20:37,524
and he's got some
really good doctors.

356
00:20:37,544 --> 00:20:40,400
But no doctor knows what
makes a seizure start or stop.

357
00:20:40,435 --> 00:20:44,793
No doctor knows why the drugs work on
some people and not on others.

358
00:20:44,864 --> 00:20:48,607
So your child becomes something of a
laboratory. They type-treat the drugs.

359
00:20:48,673 --> 00:20:51,641
That means they start
with a low dosage.

360
00:20:51,714 --> 00:20:55,489
Then they crank it up until either the
seizures go away or your boy becomes toxic.

361
00:20:55,554 --> 00:20:59,548
- I think you better go now. - If you place
Robbie's health entirely in their hands...

362
00:20:59,619 --> 00:21:01,474
Robbie is gonna be
just fine.

363
00:21:01,539 --> 00:21:05,435
Mom, if you're there,
pick up, please! Mom!

364
00:21:05,507 --> 00:21:08,377
- Lynn?
- Mom, Robbie's had a horrible seizure!

365
00:21:08,452 --> 00:21:11,714
- What?
- He stopped breathing.

366
00:21:11,780 --> 00:21:14,563
They took him to the hospital.
Dad went with them.

367
00:21:14,628 --> 00:21:16,800
Well, take Mark
and go to Margeen.

368
00:21:16,869 --> 00:21:19,422
Mom, is he gonna die?

369
00:21:19,493 --> 00:21:22,723
No, he's not going to die.

370
00:21:22,790 --> 00:21:25,157
The keys?

371
00:21:29,159 --> 00:21:31,614
Get out!

372
00:21:41,545 --> 00:21:43,781
Do you want to double-check?

373
00:21:43,849 --> 00:21:46,270
You're positive that your
company's kept up...

374
00:21:46,345 --> 00:21:48,517
...on the contributions
to your health plan?

375
00:21:48,586 --> 00:21:52,361
It's a major contractor.
It's not some fly-by-night operation.

376
00:21:56,522 --> 00:21:59,239
- Hi. I'm Dr. Brown.
- Hi. How do you do?

377
00:21:59,307 --> 00:22:01,347
How are you doing?

378
00:22:01,420 --> 00:22:05,446
Oooh, doesn't look like
we're havin' fun yet.

379
00:22:05,515 --> 00:22:08,166
Let's see if we can't
do somethin' about that.

380
00:22:08,236 --> 00:22:11,750
All right, I want you to follow my
finger, okay? With your eyes.

381
00:22:11,821 --> 00:22:15,945
So, Robbie was admitted
with idiopathic epilepsy?

382
00:22:16,013 --> 00:22:18,152
"Idiopathic"?

383
00:22:18,221 --> 00:22:20,294
Of uncertain origin.

384
00:22:20,366 --> 00:22:23,978
Oh. He had a grand mal seizure
with a respiratory arrest.

385
00:22:24,046 --> 00:22:27,276
And since then he's had
three more grand mals...

386
00:22:27,343 --> 00:22:29,896
...plus some other kinds too.

387
00:22:29,967 --> 00:22:32,783
Hmm, hey, the good news:

388
00:22:32,848 --> 00:22:35,663
You'll never have to worry about
Robbie being in the military.

389
00:22:35,728 --> 00:22:37,583
They won't take him.

390
00:22:37,649 --> 00:22:40,332
He was transferred here
to see a specialist.

391
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,572
Dr. Stanfield.
He's the best.

392
00:22:42,641 --> 00:22:45,675
Okay.

393
00:22:47,250 --> 00:22:51,179
Did we talk to you about
compassionate use programs?

394
00:22:51,250 --> 00:22:53,552
"Compassionate use"?

395
00:22:53,619 --> 00:22:55,659
During the testing period
for a new drug...

396
00:22:55,731 --> 00:22:58,382
if it shows promise, the government will
approve its use for select people...

397
00:22:58,451 --> 00:23:00,623
...who aren't part
of the official study.

398
00:23:00,692 --> 00:23:03,539
That's something Dr. Stanfield
may recommend you look into.

399
00:23:03,604 --> 00:23:06,026
Mm-hmm.

400
00:23:06,100 --> 00:23:08,490
See, times have changed
in medicine.

401
00:23:08,565 --> 00:23:11,948
It's not just up to the doctor. We look
to the parents to help chart the course.

402
00:23:12,020 --> 00:23:14,093
It's called
"joint decision making".

403
00:23:14,165 --> 00:23:17,264
Great. So do we have to wait
for Dr. Stanfield?

404
00:23:17,333 --> 00:23:20,236
Only until tomorrow morning.

405
00:23:21,782 --> 00:23:24,565
Okay. Thanks.

406
00:23:28,471 --> 00:23:30,479
Transportation Health Plan.

407
00:23:30,552 --> 00:23:34,000
It's Gene, KC Trucking. Local 59.

408
00:23:34,072 --> 00:23:37,847
I got a driver here who's gettin' the
runaround on his kid's hospital bills.

409
00:23:37,912 --> 00:23:40,728
Give me somebody who can
straighten it out, will ya?

410
00:23:40,793 --> 00:23:43,641
- I'll transfer you.
- Yeah, thanks.

411
00:23:43,705 --> 00:23:46,389
Let's see your bear.

412
00:23:46,458 --> 00:23:48,727
- Hi, Margeen!
- Hey, look at you!

413
00:23:48,794 --> 00:23:51,031
- Hi.
- Out of I.C.U. already?

414
00:23:51,098 --> 00:23:53,204
- Yeah.
- They work fast in this place.

415
00:23:53,275 --> 00:23:55,380
Yeah, well,
all except Dr. Stanfield.

416
00:23:55,451 --> 00:23:57,361
- He's a no-show.
- Mmm.

417
00:23:57,435 --> 00:24:00,021
- Have you seen Dave?
- Not today. Isn't he working?

418
00:24:00,091 --> 00:24:02,907
I thought he was gonna take off to
come here. How are the kids?

419
00:24:02,972 --> 00:24:06,267
Oh. Mark's team won three-zip this
morning. He scored the second goal.

420
00:24:06,333 --> 00:24:08,667
And Lynn's at your place
working with Schwartz.

421
00:24:08,733 --> 00:24:10,904
They sent Robbie a
little something!

422
00:24:10,973 --> 00:24:14,072
- Ooh, what do you say?
- Wanna see what my bed can do?

423
00:24:14,141 --> 00:24:16,924
What do you think
I'm here for?

424
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,705
Hey!
You okay?

425
00:24:27,775 --> 00:24:30,459
- I had another one, Mom.
- Yeah, he's okay.

426
00:24:30,528 --> 00:24:33,343
I know you did, sweetheart.
Come on.

427
00:24:33,408 --> 00:24:35,962
Come on.
We'll take you in.

428
00:24:36,033 --> 00:24:37,888
Hmm?

429
00:24:37,953 --> 00:24:41,565
Mmmm! Oh, boy!

430
00:24:41,633 --> 00:24:44,667
Let's get this
off you now, huh?

431
00:24:44,738 --> 00:24:48,251
Yeah. There you go.

432
00:24:48,322 --> 00:24:50,363
How are you
gettin' through this?

433
00:24:50,434 --> 00:24:54,526
I'm... gettin' through it.

434
00:24:54,595 --> 00:24:57,694
Ohh!

435
00:24:59,972 --> 00:25:03,966
Oooh!

436
00:25:04,037 --> 00:25:07,004
Cool!

437
00:25:07,077 --> 00:25:10,755
Oh, here's stuff. A change of clothes,
some potato salad from lunch.

438
00:25:10,821 --> 00:25:13,210
- Ohh.
- I'm 20 minutes late.

439
00:25:13,286 --> 00:25:16,450
- How am I gonna repay you?
- You're not.

440
00:25:16,518 --> 00:25:20,261
Mmmm. You're in my debt
for life.

441
00:25:20,326 --> 00:25:22,715
I think so.

442
00:25:22,791 --> 00:25:25,158
- Bye, Margeen.
- Bye-bye.

443
00:25:25,223 --> 00:25:27,198
Bye. Let's see
what she's got here.

444
00:25:27,272 --> 00:25:30,174
Ooh, gummi bears!

445
00:25:30,248 --> 00:25:32,615
Can I have this one?

446
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,015
Oh, you're gonna make me
dig down to the bottom?

447
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,415
Do you want to check
the Reimuller boy?

448
00:25:42,186 --> 00:25:44,804
So, you're leaving us
tomorrow, huh?

449
00:25:44,874 --> 00:25:47,078
No.

450
00:25:47,147 --> 00:25:49,416
Well, that's
what it says here.

451
00:25:49,482 --> 00:25:52,581
No, he was transferred here
to be evaluated by Dr. Stanfield.

452
00:25:52,651 --> 00:25:55,107
He hasn't even seen him yet.

453
00:25:55,180 --> 00:25:57,635
I'll make a note of it.

454
00:26:00,684 --> 00:26:03,238
- Hi, Dad.
- Hi, guy.

455
00:26:03,309 --> 00:26:06,921
Hey, where've you been?

456
00:26:08,205 --> 00:26:11,784
We have no insurance.

457
00:26:11,854 --> 00:26:14,538
What?

458
00:26:14,606 --> 00:26:18,021
Yeah, when I changed locals, there was a
six-month "no benefits" period.

459
00:26:18,094 --> 00:26:19,949
It's not up for a month.

460
00:26:20,015 --> 00:26:23,364
And after that they won't cover him
because he'll have a pre-existing condition.

461
00:26:23,439 --> 00:26:28,011
No. Nobody, nobody ever said anything
about a "no benefits" period!

462
00:26:31,825 --> 00:26:33,865
Supposedly, we were notified.

463
00:26:33,937 --> 00:26:38,378
I read the fine print, Dave, and I do
keep records. We were not notified.

464
00:26:38,449 --> 00:26:40,838
That's their policy.

465
00:26:40,914 --> 00:26:45,038
That's why. That's why
Robbie's transferred out of I.C.U.!

466
00:26:45,106 --> 00:26:47,758
I'll bet you that's why Stanfield
never showed up too!

467
00:26:47,827 --> 00:26:50,958
And I'll bet you that's why they're
gonna kick us outta here!

468
00:26:51,027 --> 00:26:54,061
Oh. So what are we
supposed to do now?

469
00:26:54,131 --> 00:26:57,263
Well, what people that don't have insurance
do. We take him to County Hospital.

470
00:26:57,332 --> 00:26:59,667
And you're just
gonna accept that?

471
00:26:59,732 --> 00:27:03,213
- Do you have a better idea?
- Yeah, I do!

472
00:27:04,917 --> 00:27:08,300
Hey, wanna see my truck?

473
00:27:08,373 --> 00:27:11,024
- Kansas City.
- That's not your truck, Dad.

474
00:27:11,093 --> 00:27:13,068
Transportation Health Plan.

475
00:27:13,142 --> 00:27:16,688
Hey! That's
a flammables carrier, Dave!

476
00:27:16,758 --> 00:27:18,995
Yeah. I put in
to drive nights.

477
00:27:19,063 --> 00:27:22,810
No way. No way! You promised!
We agreed you would never...

478
00:27:22,950 --> 00:27:25,319
You know how many thousands
of dollars we are in the hole?

479
00:27:25,354 --> 00:27:28,405
Well, I'll take a telephone sales job
where I could work at home.

480
00:27:28,473 --> 00:27:32,183
We could go on welfare! But you are
not gonna drive a flammables carrier!

481
00:27:32,249 --> 00:27:34,584
My family is not going on welfare!

482
00:27:34,649 --> 00:27:37,464
There's no way you could make a dent
in our debt with hazard pay!

483
00:27:37,529 --> 00:27:40,344
Do you know why they call it
hazard pay in the first place?

484
00:27:40,410 --> 00:27:44,185
Why don't you just take a rider on your
life insurance and live off of that?

485
00:27:44,250 --> 00:27:47,349
- Stop yelling! - What am I
supposed to do, Lori, huh? Huh?

486
00:27:47,419 --> 00:27:50,419
What in the hell
do you want me to do?

487
00:28:50,563 --> 00:28:53,564
Oh, no.
Oh, damn it.

488
00:30:18,671 --> 00:30:22,054
Okay. Dilantin.

489
00:30:22,128 --> 00:30:25,162
A hundred milligrams.
That a boy.

490
00:30:25,233 --> 00:30:27,688
And Tegretol.

491
00:30:29,617 --> 00:30:31,854
A hundred milligrams.
That's it. Good boy.

492
00:30:31,921 --> 00:30:35,020
- And the depakene.
- I don't want that.

493
00:30:35,090 --> 00:30:37,993
- I know, honey. - It tastes yucky.
It makes my tummy hurt.

494
00:30:38,067 --> 00:30:40,303
I know, darling, but I got
a new medicine for that.

495
00:30:40,371 --> 00:30:43,054
Come on.

496
00:30:43,123 --> 00:30:45,295
That's a boy.

497
00:30:45,363 --> 00:30:47,535
- Foreclosure?
- They take our house.

498
00:30:47,604 --> 00:30:49,906
What do you mean, they take our
house back? It's our house.

499
00:30:49,972 --> 00:30:52,306
Yeah, as long as we make
the payments.

500
00:30:52,373 --> 00:30:54,228
Well, don't we?

501
00:30:54,293 --> 00:30:57,043
When we can,
as much as we can.

502
00:30:57,109 --> 00:31:01,616
We have to pay the hospitals first,
or, uh, they'll take my pay.

503
00:31:01,685 --> 00:31:05,363
How can they take your pay?
You earned that!

504
00:31:05,430 --> 00:31:08,332
Well, they earned it too,
taking care of Robbie.

505
00:31:08,406 --> 00:31:12,433
Come on, kids. The bus'll be here in a
second. We can talk about this later.

506
00:31:17,047 --> 00:31:20,561
Okay, okay, Rob.
I'm here, honey.

507
00:31:20,632 --> 00:31:23,534
I'm here.
That's okay.

508
00:31:28,564 --> 00:31:30,766
So, what happens when
the bank takes back

509
00:31:30,801 --> 00:31:33,341
the title of our house,
or whatever you said?

510
00:31:33,382 --> 00:31:35,752
- They'll sell it.
- They'll sell it?

511
00:31:35,834 --> 00:31:38,900
Where are we
supposed to live?

512
00:31:38,970 --> 00:31:42,135
What about the animals?
What about Schwartz?

513
00:31:42,203 --> 00:31:45,847
- I don't wanna sell our house.
- I know, honey.

514
00:31:45,916 --> 00:31:48,371
- And what, you're just gonna let them?
- Mark!

515
00:31:48,444 --> 00:31:51,925
I'll do everything I can
to keep our house.

516
00:31:51,997 --> 00:31:54,867
I could use some support.

517
00:31:56,477 --> 00:31:58,550
Fine. I'm sorry.

518
00:32:01,278 --> 00:32:03,133
Lynn? Lynn?

519
00:32:12,479 --> 00:32:17,214
[Let's see. Um, do you have any
untapped financial resources?

520
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,760
Savings, investments,
family?

521
00:32:20,832 --> 00:32:24,128
Well, uh, we've already
gone through our savings.

522
00:32:24,193 --> 00:32:26,136
All we have left is the farm.

523
00:32:27,618 --> 00:32:30,814
We're not in the business
of taking people's homes.

524
00:32:30,882 --> 00:32:33,948
We'd much rather
work something out.

525
00:32:34,018 --> 00:32:37,815
What kind of payments do you think
you can handle, say, half-monthly?

526
00:32:40,003 --> 00:32:43,899
Well...

527
00:32:47,300 --> 00:32:49,504
...that's how much
I have today.

528
00:32:51,269 --> 00:32:54,303
I don't know
about next month.

529
00:32:54,373 --> 00:32:57,024
Come on, Lori.

530
00:33:04,774 --> 00:33:07,622
Come on, sweetie.

531
00:33:10,055 --> 00:33:12,390
I want to pet him.

532
00:33:27,498 --> 00:33:31,427
Can I ride him?

533
00:33:31,498 --> 00:33:35,361
Someday. I promise.

534
00:33:35,435 --> 00:33:38,185
Scout's honor?

535
00:33:39,755 --> 00:33:41,828
Scout's honor.

536
00:33:48,717 --> 00:33:51,172
Mom is gonna be so excited!

537
00:33:51,245 --> 00:33:54,311
- I get to tell her first.
- Okay.

538
00:33:57,966 --> 00:34:00,650
Hey, where were you guys,
huh? Huh?

539
00:34:00,718 --> 00:34:03,718
I called and I called
from the doctor's office...

540
00:34:03,791 --> 00:34:06,246
...to get Daddy to pick up
Robbie's prescription.

541
00:34:06,319 --> 00:34:08,970
And the phone rang and rang,
and nobody answered it.

542
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,553
We were here. Maybe you dialed wrong.
What did the doctor say?

543
00:34:12,624 --> 00:34:15,592
Well, it's not measles.
You want that?

544
00:34:15,665 --> 00:34:18,086
It's Stevens-Johnson's Syndrome...

545
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,161
...one of the rare
side effects of Tegretol.

546
00:34:21,233 --> 00:34:23,535
I don't know why
they call 'em side effects.

547
00:34:23,602 --> 00:34:27,628
As if a 102 temperature
and a rash over his whole entire body...

548
00:34:27,697 --> 00:34:30,665
...is somethin' off
to the side somewhere.

549
00:34:32,339 --> 00:34:34,161
Did I forget
somebody's birthday?

550
00:34:34,226 --> 00:34:38,417
No, it's something else.
We're gonna wait for Dad.

551
00:34:40,787 --> 00:34:44,137
What is wrong with this...

552
00:34:44,212 --> 00:34:46,995
Oh, my God!

553
00:34:47,060 --> 00:34:50,508
What time is it?
I still have time.

554
00:34:50,581 --> 00:34:53,299
- Lynn, do you have any money?
- Uh, a couple of dollars.

555
00:34:53,366 --> 00:34:55,919
- Never mind. I think...
- What are you doing?

556
00:34:55,990 --> 00:34:58,805
The phone's turned off.
We didn't pay the bill.

557
00:34:58,870 --> 00:35:02,449
Well, good. We won't be waked up by
stupid people yelling we owe them money!

558
00:35:02,518 --> 00:35:05,486
- I have ten minutes. Will you
watch him for me? - Uh-huh.

559
00:35:05,559 --> 00:35:08,374
You can't take money out of there.
No one touches that money!

560
00:35:08,439 --> 00:35:11,473
We have to have a phone, Mark.
What if Robbie needs 911?

561
00:35:11,544 --> 00:35:13,399
No, this is for our trip!

562
00:35:13,464 --> 00:35:16,531
What trip?
Mark, look at your brother!

563
00:35:16,601 --> 00:35:19,732
You really think we're gonna
take him on a trip?

564
00:35:19,801 --> 00:35:23,543
When they kick us out of our house,
you think we're gonna go on vacation?

565
00:35:23,609 --> 00:35:26,065
Oh, well, I thought since
I got an "A" in English...

566
00:35:26,138 --> 00:35:29,684
...we'd be going to Hawaii and
taking diving lessons like Dad said.

567
00:35:29,754 --> 00:35:32,504
- Dumb me!
- Oh, honey, I'm sorry.

568
00:35:32,571 --> 00:35:35,321
Me too! I'm sorry
Robbie was ever born!

569
00:35:35,387 --> 00:35:38,737
- Don't say that! - If he's gonna die,
why doesn't he do it?

570
00:35:38,811 --> 00:35:41,397
Mark!

571
00:35:41,468 --> 00:35:45,844
Mark! Mark!

572
00:35:45,917 --> 00:35:48,983
Mom, Robbie's having a seizure!

573
00:35:49,053 --> 00:35:50,941
Mark!

574
00:35:51,005 --> 00:35:54,421
Mom, it's a bad one!

575
00:35:59,007 --> 00:36:02,106
Okay. Okay, darling.

576
00:36:02,175 --> 00:36:05,524
It's okay.
It's over.

577
00:36:08,927 --> 00:36:11,895
He's doing it again.

578
00:36:20,801 --> 00:36:24,249
It's okay.
It's okay, honey.

579
00:36:25,762 --> 00:36:28,129
It's okay.
We're here.

580
00:36:28,194 --> 00:36:30,562
It's okay.

581
00:36:30,627 --> 00:36:32,831
It's okay, sweetie.

582
00:36:44,069 --> 00:36:47,746
County Hospital cafeteria
will be closed in ten minutes.

583
00:36:58,919 --> 00:37:01,821
- I'm Dr. Abbasac.
- Hi.

584
00:37:03,911 --> 00:37:08,167
Robbie's failed to respond to most of
the usual anticonvulsive medications.

585
00:37:08,232 --> 00:37:11,200
The problem's compounded by the fact
that he has multiple seizure types.

586
00:37:11,273 --> 00:37:13,640
We're gonna try some
less commonly used drugs.

587
00:37:15,529 --> 00:37:18,431
What about
a compassionate use program?

588
00:37:18,505 --> 00:37:23,240
I see no reason to use an unproven drug
when there are proven ones left to try.

589
00:37:23,306 --> 00:37:25,640
I'm ordering a series of tests
for tomorrow morning.

590
00:37:25,706 --> 00:37:27,779
We'll repeat them
on a regular basis...

591
00:37:27,850 --> 00:37:30,665
...to monitor changes as we begin
the new med regimens.

592
00:37:30,731 --> 00:37:33,382
- Is that necessary?
- Is what necessary?

593
00:37:33,452 --> 00:37:36,747
Well, he's had the same tests over and
over, and they're pretty hard on him.

594
00:37:36,812 --> 00:37:38,667
- Yeah.
- They always turn out the same.

595
00:37:38,732 --> 00:37:41,547
There's something I should make
very clear to both of you.

596
00:37:41,612 --> 00:37:44,133
After a first
antiepileptic drug fails...

597
00:37:44,205 --> 00:37:46,824
...there's only a 15 percent chance
the drugs will ever work.

598
00:37:46,894 --> 00:37:48,934
After that,
there's only surgery.

599
00:37:49,006 --> 00:37:51,876
You shouldn't expect this
to be easy.

600
00:37:51,950 --> 00:37:55,846
Why not? So far it's
been a piece of cake.

601
00:37:57,455 --> 00:37:59,790
Robbie's what I consider
a high-stakes case.

602
00:37:59,855 --> 00:38:04,427
If I can stop his seizures, he still has a
very good chance for a normal, healthy life.

603
00:38:04,495 --> 00:38:08,391
But a young brain can't tolerate seizures
of his intensity and frequency indefinitely.

604
00:38:08,464 --> 00:38:11,661
Well, what if you
can't stop them?

605
00:38:11,728 --> 00:38:13,584
There are no
hard and fast rules...

606
00:38:13,649 --> 00:38:16,584
...but it's not unusual to find
neurological compromises:

607
00:38:16,658 --> 00:38:19,658
diminished capacity,
developmental delays...

608
00:38:19,730 --> 00:38:21,585
progressive retardation.

609
00:38:24,018 --> 00:38:27,980
Excuse me.

610
00:38:46,101 --> 00:38:48,720
Not much of a view, huh?

611
00:38:48,790 --> 00:38:51,343
No.

612
00:38:54,262 --> 00:38:56,848
- Your boy has seizures?
- Yeah.

613
00:38:56,919 --> 00:38:59,985
That's what Lili had.
They did brain surgery.

614
00:39:00,055 --> 00:39:01,965
Oh.

615
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,429
How is she doing?

616
00:39:04,504 --> 00:39:06,392
Okay, I guess.

617
00:39:06,456 --> 00:39:09,239
She's a beautiful little girl.

618
00:39:10,125 --> 00:39:12,540
And I checked with several colleagues
from across the country,

619
00:39:12,575 --> 00:39:16,033
all of them very accomplished neurologists.
A few of them run pediatric neurology

620
00:39:16,068 --> 00:39:18,520
departments at major meds
schools and hospitals.

621
00:39:18,555 --> 00:39:20,376
It sounds like you're in very
good hands right where you are.

622
00:39:20,442 --> 00:39:22,482
Uh-huh. Okay.

623
00:39:22,555 --> 00:39:26,068
They differ slightly in the order
that they try the drugs.

624
00:39:26,139 --> 00:39:29,653
After that, there's surgery, but
you're not ready for that yet.

625
00:39:29,724 --> 00:39:33,270
- Oh, no, we are not. - Oh, Lori,
one other thing they did agree on:

626
00:39:33,340 --> 00:39:36,439
Treating seizures in kids
is much more art than science.

627
00:39:36,508 --> 00:39:40,916
Okay, Doc, thanks. Bye.

628
00:39:40,989 --> 00:39:45,659
I'll put a request in
to Dr. Abbasac for a stool softener.

629
00:39:45,726 --> 00:39:47,798
That should help.

630
00:39:47,870 --> 00:39:50,009
Why does he have hemorrhoids?

631
00:39:50,078 --> 00:39:52,151
The medication causes
the constipation...

632
00:39:52,222 --> 00:39:54,972
...and the pushing
causes the hemorrhoids.

633
00:40:03,168 --> 00:40:06,136
<i>Hey, little pretty girl</i>

634
00:40:06,209 --> 00:40:08,478
Hey, KC Tanker.

635
00:40:08,544 --> 00:40:12,822
Will you be needing any 24-hour roadside
assistance there, good buddy? Come back.

636
00:40:12,897 --> 00:40:15,101
Negatory there, heavy hauler.

637
00:40:15,169 --> 00:40:18,236
Just pullin' over
to check my rig. Thanks a lot.

638
00:40:41,317 --> 00:40:43,172
Stay away!

639
00:40:43,238 --> 00:40:46,238
Come here, Robbie.
Robbie.

640
00:40:46,310 --> 00:40:49,725
- Oh, God!
- Get away from me!

641
00:40:49,798 --> 00:40:52,995
- Come back here, you! Robbie!
- You're gonna kill me!

642
00:40:53,063 --> 00:40:55,617
- I got you now.
- Let me go!

643
00:40:55,688 --> 00:40:58,535
- I got you. There's your Dad.
- Hey, what's goin' on?

644
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:02,048
- Get out of here!
- It's a reaction to the mysolene.

645
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,087
- Get out of here! - Will you be still?
Look at Daddy's truck.

646
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,681
- Let me go, you pig! I hate you!
- Ohhh!

647
00:41:07,753 --> 00:41:11,136
Hey, don't you ever talk to your mother
like that! Do you hear me? Ohh!

648
00:41:11,209 --> 00:41:14,788
Oh, no! Oh, honey.

649
00:41:14,858 --> 00:41:17,029
Come on.
Somebody help me, please!

650
00:41:17,098 --> 00:41:20,415
Somebody help us!
Oh, it's okay.

651
00:41:24,331 --> 00:41:27,201
It's okay.

652
00:41:32,332 --> 00:41:34,187
Ohhh, okay.

653
00:41:34,252 --> 00:41:37,319
I've called Dr. Abbasac
to authorize a sedative.

654
00:41:37,389 --> 00:41:40,171
Why don't you go home
and get some rest?

655
00:41:40,237 --> 00:41:42,409
I'll look out for him.

656
00:41:42,478 --> 00:41:46,373
Go on, Lori. It can't do him
no good to stay and sit.

657
00:41:46,446 --> 00:41:48,519
I will, I will.

658
00:41:51,983 --> 00:41:55,366
Mommy, Mommy, let me out!

659
00:41:55,439 --> 00:41:59,596
No! Mommy!

660
00:41:59,664 --> 00:42:02,512
Mommy, don't leave me!

661
00:42:02,576 --> 00:42:04,966
I'm not going anyplace, honey.
We're gonna stay here.

662
00:42:05,041 --> 00:42:07,529
Let me handle this.

663
00:42:07,601 --> 00:42:11,016
- Here. You know what?
- Mommy!

664
00:42:11,089 --> 00:42:13,937
You know what we're gonna do
when you get better?

665
00:42:14,002 --> 00:42:16,010
We're gonna go
to the playroom.

666
00:42:16,083 --> 00:42:18,538
- Mommy, don't leave me!
- They have some neat toys in there.

667
00:42:18,611 --> 00:42:20,783
And when you get
really, really better...

668
00:42:20,851 --> 00:42:23,666
- we're gonna go down
to the cafeteria... - Mommy!

669
00:42:23,731 --> 00:42:27,343
- and we're gonna get some
lemon merengue pie. - Mommy!

670
00:42:27,411 --> 00:42:30,063
It's the best.

671
00:42:30,133 --> 00:42:34,061
Oh, I can't.
I just can't.

672
00:42:34,132 --> 00:42:37,264
- It's okay.
- Mommy, Mommy, let me out, please!

673
00:42:37,333 --> 00:42:39,984
- It's gonna be okay.
- Help me!

674
00:42:40,053 --> 00:42:43,152
Please let me out!

675
00:42:59,256 --> 00:43:01,263
Dr. Abbasac, code blue.

676
00:43:01,336 --> 00:43:05,298
Dr. Abbasac, code blue.
Dr. Abbasac, code blue.

677
00:43:12,858 --> 00:43:15,095
- Good morning.
- Good morning, Steve.

678
00:43:19,163 --> 00:43:22,676
Ohhh! Oh!

679
00:43:38,398 --> 00:43:40,853
- He has a fever.
- How high?

680
00:43:40,926 --> 00:43:43,644
- We've stabilized it.
- Oh.

681
00:43:43,711 --> 00:43:46,526
Why does he have a fever?

682
00:43:46,591 --> 00:43:49,591
It could be an infection. It could
be part of the seizure disorder.

683
00:43:49,663 --> 00:43:51,518
It could be the medication.

684
00:43:51,584 --> 00:43:54,813
That's something you're gonna have to
talk to Dr. Abbasac about.

685
00:44:00,065 --> 00:44:01,952
That a boy.
You're okay.

686
00:44:02,017 --> 00:44:04,286
Where is Lili?

687
00:44:04,353 --> 00:44:07,769
The little girl in the other bed.

688
00:44:07,842 --> 00:44:10,111
What happened to her?

689
00:44:11,555 --> 00:44:14,173
- She's dead, isn't she?
- It's extremely rare.

690
00:44:14,242 --> 00:44:16,446
She died of the epilepsy,
not the surgery.

691
00:44:16,514 --> 00:44:20,312
There's something wrong here. There's
something really, really, really wrong!

692
00:44:20,388 --> 00:44:24,545
I bring my kid to you people for help,
and all you do is make him sicker.

693
00:44:24,612 --> 00:44:28,835
You give him one drug, and then he needs
another drug to cure him of the first one.

694
00:44:28,900 --> 00:44:32,676
And then he needs another drug to
take away the side effects of that one!

695
00:44:32,741 --> 00:44:35,229
And another one and another one
and another one... I mean, he...

696
00:44:35,302 --> 00:44:37,953
He has had a rash,
swollen glands, a fever...

697
00:44:38,022 --> 00:44:41,154
...constipation, hemorrhoids,
bleeding gums...

698
00:44:41,222 --> 00:44:44,800
And he acts like a drunk,
a zombie, a psycho.

699
00:44:44,870 --> 00:44:49,094
And it's not because of his sickness.
It's because of your cure.

700
00:44:49,159 --> 00:44:53,021
If Robbie doesn't get better...

701
00:44:53,096 --> 00:44:57,374
...if he ends up in a home, strapped
to a wheelchair somewhere, huh...

702
00:44:57,448 --> 00:44:59,456
...what are you
gonna tell me then?

703
00:44:59,529 --> 00:45:02,595
That it's all some big
idiopathic tragedy?

704
00:45:02,665 --> 00:45:04,770
- Lori.
- I'm sorry.

705
00:45:04,841 --> 00:45:08,158
But, you know, there must be something else
that you can do. There must be something.

706
00:45:08,234 --> 00:45:10,918
Lori, wait. I've been meaning to
give this to you for your signature.

707
00:45:10,986 --> 00:45:13,539
It's the paperwork on
the compassionate use program.

708
00:45:13,611 --> 00:45:16,033
We want to try
an experimental drug.

709
00:45:16,107 --> 00:45:18,562
Dr. Abbasac, code blue.

710
00:45:18,635 --> 00:45:23,208
Dr. Abbasac, code blue.
Dr. Abbasac, code blue.

711
00:45:33,581 --> 00:45:36,581
He's in status.
Two milligrams, Valium IV.

712
00:45:41,166 --> 00:45:43,533
One more.

713
00:45:43,599 --> 00:45:47,756
Help me! Help!

714
00:45:50,607 --> 00:45:54,405
Another milligram Valium IV.
Repeat until we have cessation.

715
00:45:59,473 --> 00:46:01,481
Get me four milligrams
paraldehyde.

716
00:46:01,553 --> 00:46:04,456
Hurry. He's
in status epilepticus.

717
00:46:04,530 --> 00:46:06,897
If we can't stop it, we risk
permanent brain damage.

718
00:46:06,962 --> 00:46:09,078
Paraldehyde is a drug
that temporarily freezes

719
00:46:09,154 --> 00:46:11,689
the central nervous system and
prevents that. But like any drug,

720
00:46:11,691 --> 00:46:14,126
- it carries its own risks.
- What risks?

721
00:46:14,161 --> 00:46:17,868
Depressing the nervous system can
result in pulmonary edema, even death.

722
00:46:17,940 --> 00:46:22,545
That's the choice? Probable
brain damage or possible death?

723
00:46:22,612 --> 00:46:25,547
Paraldehyde.

724
00:46:27,381 --> 00:46:30,862
Not oral. Miss Warren, get me a
rectal syringe for the paraldehyde.

725
00:46:30,933 --> 00:46:33,868
But not plastic.

726
00:46:33,942 --> 00:46:36,179
Miss Warren.

727
00:46:37,558 --> 00:46:40,046
Get me four more milligrams
paraldehyde.

728
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:48,815
Paraldehyde.

729
00:46:48,888 --> 00:46:51,474
Turn him on his side.

730
00:47:17,564 --> 00:47:19,419
Hi.

731
00:47:20,886 --> 00:47:25,109
Oh, I... probably average
three or four seizures a month.

732
00:47:25,174 --> 00:47:28,720
Be better if they restricted themselves
to weekends and holidays.

733
00:47:28,791 --> 00:47:31,825
Yeah.

734
00:47:31,895 --> 00:47:35,540
Um, when I was
in elementary school...

735
00:47:35,608 --> 00:47:40,398
I was on so much medicine,
the other kids assumed I was retarded.

736
00:47:40,473 --> 00:47:44,947
I had a seizure during
our fourth grade talent show.

737
00:47:45,017 --> 00:47:50,583
They must have thought I was doing
my impression of a fried egg.

738
00:47:50,650 --> 00:47:53,945
Not too many kids wanted to
play with me after that.

739
00:47:54,011 --> 00:47:58,867
Took my parents weeks
to go back into public.

740
00:48:01,019 --> 00:48:03,125
Later on, I got to
where I could...

741
00:48:03,196 --> 00:48:06,011
...tell a couple minutes
in advance when one was coming.

742
00:48:06,076 --> 00:48:09,622
I get auras.
Things start to change colors.

743
00:48:09,692 --> 00:48:11,765
My head aches.

744
00:48:11,837 --> 00:48:15,001
I try to hide it at work. I don't wanna
lose my medical insurance...

745
00:48:15,069 --> 00:48:16,924
...or worse, my job.

746
00:48:16,990 --> 00:48:18,778
Can't drive.

747
00:48:21,310 --> 00:48:26,428
My marriage broke up because the drugs
keep me from being a normal lover.

748
00:48:26,495 --> 00:48:31,285
And I seize in my sleep,
I cuss, I make animal noises.

749
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:37,433
There is anger and loneliness.

750
00:48:37,504 --> 00:48:41,214
But when the self-pity comes,
I try to say to myself...

751
00:48:41,281 --> 00:48:44,096
...instead of,
"What life do I have?"...

752
00:48:45,633 --> 00:48:48,001
..."What life can I build?"

753
00:48:53,475 --> 00:48:55,330
Then who did take it down?

754
00:48:55,395 --> 00:48:57,250
I don't know.
What are you blaming me for?

755
00:48:57,315 --> 00:49:00,283
Because it's a criminal offense to remove
a foreclosure notice. You can go to jail.

756
00:49:00,356 --> 00:49:02,974
So you better tell me you didn't trash
it and you're gonna put it back.

757
00:49:03,044 --> 00:49:05,379
Fine. You want me to say
I took it down? I took it down.

758
00:49:05,444 --> 00:49:08,641
Then put it back.

759
00:49:08,708 --> 00:49:11,392
- How come you're always pickin'
on me lately? - I'm not pickin' on you.

760
00:49:11,461 --> 00:49:13,796
Yeah, you are. You and Mom
think everything's my fault.

761
00:49:13,861 --> 00:49:16,611
I suppose if Robbie dies
it'll be my fault too.

762
00:49:16,678 --> 00:49:18,533
What?

763
00:49:18,598 --> 00:49:20,453
It's not like I meant what
I said. I was just mad.

764
00:49:20,518 --> 00:49:22,788
What are you talkin' about?

765
00:49:22,855 --> 00:49:25,343
Oh, right. Like Mom
didn't tell you.

766
00:49:25,415 --> 00:49:27,903
Tell me what?

767
00:49:29,928 --> 00:49:33,573
I'm sorry! I didn't mean it.
I don't want Robbie to die.

768
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:37,535
He's my brother. I love him.

769
00:49:37,609 --> 00:49:40,926
Please don't let him die, Dad.
Please don't.

maybe he's gonna die.

00:50:53,843 --> 00:50:55,851

- How would I know?

00:50:55,924 --> 00:50:58,313
Well, I...
Do you care?

00:50:58,388 --> 00:51:00,297
Shut up, Lori!

789
00:51:00,372 --> 00:51:03,820
Don't you even care if your son
is gonna ever be happy again?

790
00:51:03,892 --> 00:51:07,668
- Just think before you talk! - Don't you...
wanna know what's gonna happen to him?

791
00:51:07,733 --> 00:51:12,011
God, what kind
of a father are you?

792
00:51:12,086 --> 00:51:16,396
- You deal with this your way,
and I'll deal with it mine. - Oh!

793
00:51:16,470 --> 00:51:18,926
I'm havin' enough of a problem
the way it is right now.

794
00:51:18,998 --> 00:51:21,659
Do I wanna know how much worse
it's gonna be a week from now?

795
00:51:21,727 --> 00:51:23,922
Or, or a month?
Or a year?

796
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:26,669
Well, I'm not sure I do.

797
00:51:26,744 --> 00:51:30,127
To tell you the truth, there are times
when I look at Robbie and...

798
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:33,331
and at my family, and I think if this is
the life he's destined to lead...

799
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:37,329
...if all he has to look forward to
is more drugs, more seizures...

800
00:51:37,401 --> 00:51:40,151
...brain surgery, retardation...

801
00:51:40,217 --> 00:51:44,495
...and if we really start
runnin' out of hope...

802
00:51:44,570 --> 00:51:47,254
...he may well be
better off dead.

803
00:52:16,062 --> 00:52:18,234
Can I help you?

804
00:52:18,303 --> 00:52:21,020
Point me to the section
on epilepsy.

805
00:52:21,087 --> 00:52:23,127
That's a vast area
of research.

806
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:26,047
What kind of epilepsy
do you want to know about?

807
00:52:26,112 --> 00:52:29,211
The kind that's
taking away my son.

808

809

811
00:53:02,532 --> 00:53:06,908

812
00:53:06,981 --> 00:53:11,455
<i>That I heard of</i>

813
00:53:11,526 --> 00:53:15,585
<i>- Once in a lullaby
- Why is he wearing a helmet?</i>

814
00:53:15,655 --> 00:53:19,365
Epilepsy. The helmet protects
his head when he falls down.

815
00:53:19,431 --> 00:53:24,418
<i>Somewhere over</i>

816

- Charlie, it's time to go. Come on. Get up.</i>

817
00:53:28,712 --> 00:53:32,739
<i>- Skies are blue

00:54:26,832 --> 00:54:32,136
<i>- I didn't know this was your place.
- Over the rainbow</i>

833
00:54:32,209 --> 00:54:35,952
So you... you do the
algebra homework?

834
00:54:40,178 --> 00:54:44,140

835
00:54:44,211 --> 00:54:48,554
<i>- That you dare to dream

00:54:48,628 --> 00:54:51,661

855
00:55:53,469 --> 00:55:57,113
<i>Then, oh, why</i>

<i>Can't I?</i>

857
00:56:14,079 --> 00:56:16,447
What's goin'on?

858
00:56:16,512 --> 00:56:18,934
- It's Mom.
- Is Robbie worse?

859
00:56:19,008 --> 00:56:23,099
No, he's the same. She said
she found something, um...

860
00:56:23,168 --> 00:56:27,359
Different kind of treatment
that could help Robbie. A diet.

861
00:56:27,425 --> 00:56:29,433
You mean it can make
his seizures go away?

862
00:56:29,506 --> 00:56:32,921
Good, Mom. A diet.
Why don't we try a rain dance?

863
00:56:32,994 --> 00:56:36,344
Then I'll get a doll
that we can all stick pins in.

864
00:56:40,163 --> 00:56:43,011
Dr. Forman's office.
How may I help you?

865
00:56:43,075 --> 00:56:46,368
Hi, this is Lori Reimuller,
and I've just read, uh,

866
00:56:46,620 --> 00:56:51,038
Dr. Livingston's book about the diet,
that treats childhood epilepsy,

867
00:56:51,129 --> 00:56:53,378
and I would like to make
an appointment for my son.

868
00:56:53,572 --> 00:56:56,802
Well, we have a cancellation
tomorrow at 1:30.

869
00:56:56,869 --> 00:57:00,732
But you're, uh, in Maryland, and
I'm calling from Kansas City.

870
00:57:00,805 --> 00:57:04,188
I'm sorry. Well, that's our
only opening for three months.

871
00:57:04,262 --> 00:57:06,913
Three months?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

872
00:57:06,982 --> 00:57:08,838
Robbie can't wait three months.
He's too sick.

873
00:57:08,903 --> 00:57:12,286
Well, then he'll require hospitalization,
and there are no available beds...

874
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:15,840
...in our inpatient program
for the foreseeable future.

875
00:57:15,911 --> 00:57:19,284
Uh, why don't I put you on our
waiting list. We do have cancellations.

876
00:57:19,429 --> 00:57:23,517
- I need to talk to the doctor.
- He's with patients, Mrs. Reimuller.

877
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:26,288
Why don't you send
us your son's records.

878
00:57:26,439 --> 00:57:28,776
I'm sure something will
come up before too long.

879
00:57:28,937 --> 00:57:31,304
Okay, I'll take that
appointment tomorrow.

880
00:57:31,369 --> 00:57:34,217
- What is the patient's name?
- Uh, Robbie...

881
00:57:34,282 --> 00:57:36,650
...Reimuller. R-e-i...

882
00:57:36,715 --> 00:57:39,497
- Excuse me.
- ... m - u - l - l - e - r.

883
00:57:39,563 --> 00:57:42,825
- Thank you.
- Who is it?

884
00:57:47,820 --> 00:57:50,406
I've, I've been doing
some reading, and I've...

885
00:57:50,476 --> 00:57:53,859
...come across a treatment
for epilepsy...

886
00:57:53,933 --> 00:57:57,578
...called the keto...
ketogenic diet.

887
00:57:57,645 --> 00:58:00,296
It's by a doctor
from Johns Hopkins.

888
00:58:00,366 --> 00:58:03,236
And the diet,
the best I understand it...

889
00:58:03,310 --> 00:58:06,726
...makes the body go into a fasting state,
and something about that fasting state...

890
00:58:06,798 --> 00:58:09,100
...stops the seizures.

891
00:58:09,167 --> 00:58:13,291
The Comprehensive Management of Epilepsy
in Infancy, Childhood and Adolescence...

892
00:58:13,359 --> 00:58:15,214
...by Samuel Livingston.

893
00:58:15,279 --> 00:58:19,404
The bible on pediatric epilepsy. Every
neurologist in the country owns a copy.

894
00:58:19,472 --> 00:58:22,287
With the exception
of the material on the ketogenic diet...

895
00:58:22,352 --> 00:58:24,873
...it's an invaluable piece
of medical literature.

896
00:58:24,945 --> 00:58:27,367
The diet is not
an approved treatment.

897
00:58:27,442 --> 00:58:30,038
- But there have been a lot of studies.
- Those studies are anecdotal...

898
00:58:30,228 --> 00:58:32,687
...not the kind of studies we base
sound medical judgement on,

899
00:58:32,690 --> 00:58:34,460
not double-blind studies.

900
00:58:34,534 --> 00:58:38,463
The ketogenic diet is highly suspect.
You have to starve the child to begin with,

901
00:58:38,502 --> 00:58:41,571
and what you feed him consists mainly
of fat, which is not only unpalatable

902
00:58:41,634 --> 00:58:44,618
but nutritionally inadequate and
extremely difficult to maintain.

903
00:58:44,625 --> 00:58:46,922
I've seen it tried a few times,
and my experience is that it

904
00:58:47,007 --> 00:58:50,592
simply doesn't work.
I've been meaning to give this to you.

905
00:58:50,677 --> 00:58:54,867
It's the number of an outstanding
pediatric neurosurgeon on our staff.

906
00:58:54,934 --> 00:58:57,039
It's time to see
if we can find a focus...

907
00:58:57,110 --> 00:58:59,598
...a starting point in the brain
for Robbie's seizures.

908
00:58:59,670 --> 00:59:03,533
If we can, there's
a good possibility we can remove it.

909
00:59:03,606 --> 00:59:05,549
Not brain surgery.
We don't want brain surgery.

910
00:59:05,623 --> 00:59:08,918
I'm not proposing surgery.
Not yet.

911
00:59:08,984 --> 00:59:10,926
I'm talking about
a diagnostic procedure.

912
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:14,383
We remove the top of the skull and place
electrodes on the brain for a few days...

913
00:59:14,456 --> 00:59:17,555
...to see if we can map it
and try and locate the problem.

914
00:59:17,625 --> 00:59:22,710
It's the next logical step, and
I'd like to schedule it immediately.

915
00:59:22,777 --> 00:59:26,934
We can't because
we're goin' to Baltimore.

916
00:59:27,002 --> 00:59:31,923
Robbie has an appointment with
Dr. Forman at Johns Hopkins tomorrow.

917
00:59:31,994 --> 00:59:33,521
And how are you planning
to get Robbie to this appointment?

918
00:59:33,595 --> 00:59:36,279
I booked us on a flight.

919
00:59:36,347 --> 00:59:40,504
There is a danger of a life-threatening
seizure if you stop the drugs abruptly.

920
00:59:40,572 --> 00:59:42,994
Well, who's talking about
stopping drugs?

921
00:59:43,068 --> 00:59:45,715
I, uh, have administered
enough drugs to Robbie

922
00:59:45,723 --> 00:59:48,669
in nine months to get
a pharmacy degree.

923
00:59:56,222 --> 01:00:00,052
You'll need an ambulance
to transfer him from the hospital...

924
01:00:00,127 --> 01:00:03,902
...a plane that will accommodate
a medical transfer, his meds...

925
01:00:03,967 --> 01:00:09,631
...a drip, emergency oxygen
and a doctor to accompany him.

926
01:00:09,695 --> 01:00:12,598
There is no way
that we can afford all that.

927
01:00:15,585 --> 01:00:19,928
When you have met these conditions
for his safe transport...

928
01:00:20,001 --> 01:00:22,816
...I'll be glad to sign
for his release.

929
01:01:11,272 --> 01:01:14,087
Shh, shh, shh.

930
01:01:25,129 --> 01:01:27,945
- Have you taken his B.P.?
- Yeah, I did.

931
01:01:46,541 --> 01:01:48,396
Oh!

932
01:01:48,461 --> 01:01:53,251
- Can I help you?
- Radiology, um... My son needs an X ray.

933
01:01:53,325 --> 01:01:56,293
- Let me see your lab slip.
I'll tell you where to go. - Oh, huh...

934
01:01:56,366 --> 01:02:00,425
I must've left that
down in emergency.

935
01:02:00,495 --> 01:02:02,699
Take the elevator
to the first floor, follow the signs.

936
01:02:02,767 --> 01:02:05,583
Okay, thanks.

937
01:02:15,473 --> 01:02:17,513
Major babe.

938
01:02:47,446 --> 01:02:49,421
Ma'am?

939
01:02:50,966 --> 01:02:53,421
Ma'am.

940
01:03:01,047 --> 01:03:02,902
Security.

941
01:03:19,385 --> 01:03:21,491
Ma'am?
Ma'am, excuse me.

942
01:03:21,562 --> 01:03:24,279
You'll have to come with me.

943
01:03:36,572 --> 01:03:39,671
Do you know what would have happened
if he hadn't stopped you?

944
01:03:39,741 --> 01:03:42,807
Yeah, I'd be on a plane
to Baltimore.

945
01:03:44,669 --> 01:03:48,150
When he was discovered missing, an all
points bulletin would have gone out.

946
01:03:48,222 --> 01:03:51,092
- What? My arrest?
- Yes.

947
01:03:51,166 --> 01:03:53,141
- I was the mother.
- It doesn't matter.

948
01:03:53,214 --> 01:03:55,451
You could have been charged with
kidnapping and child endangerment.

949
01:03:55,518 --> 01:03:58,617
- You could've lost custody.
- What?

950
01:03:58,687 --> 01:04:01,338
The institution can petition
for legal guardianship of any child...

951
01:04:01,408 --> 01:04:05,336
...whose interest and well-being they feel
aren't being served by his parents.

952
01:04:05,408 --> 01:04:07,645
And the courts
usually grant it.

953
01:04:07,712 --> 01:04:11,555
Well, what if I feel that his interests
are not being served by the institution?

954
01:04:11,645 --> 01:04:13,038
What if I feel that he's,

955
01:04:13,047 --> 01:04:16,232
he's actually being harmed by
the whole, you know, system?

956
01:04:16,267 --> 01:04:21,280
What if, what if I just can't sit here
and watch him... fade away?

957
01:04:21,346 --> 01:04:24,030
Don't I have a right?
Don't I?

958
01:04:24,099 --> 01:04:27,133
- To try to protect my own child?
- Lis... I...

959
01:04:27,203 --> 01:04:32,702
I shouldn't be telling you this.
I could get in a lot of trouble.

960
01:04:32,772 --> 01:04:35,041
We had a staff meeting
this afternoon.

961
01:04:35,108 --> 01:04:38,556
Dr. Abbasac discussed your plans
to take Robbie to Baltimore.

962
01:04:38,628 --> 01:04:42,207
She believes you're losing it,
that your judgement's impaired.

963
01:04:42,277 --> 01:04:44,863
- And after tonight they have all the
evidence they need... - Oh, they're not...

964
01:04:44,934 --> 01:04:47,268
they're not talkin' about
takin' Robbie away from me.

965
01:04:47,334 --> 01:04:52,069
She's on her way down here now. It might be
best if you were gone when she gets here.

966
01:04:57,127 --> 01:04:58,982
All right.

967
01:05:00,776 --> 01:05:04,420
I don't agree with the doctor. I think you
know your child better than any of us...

968
01:05:04,488 --> 01:05:08,679
...and you're just trying to do
what's right for him.

969
01:05:08,744 --> 01:05:12,389
A lot of kids get well here...

970
01:05:12,457 --> 01:05:15,108
...but Robbie's not.

971
01:05:41,133 --> 01:05:43,816
Oh. Come on!

972
01:06:11,217 --> 01:06:15,440
So even though we missed the appointment,
I went back and looked it up again.

973
01:06:15,506 --> 01:06:18,026
And all these doctors
had the same results.

974
01:06:18,098 --> 01:06:23,118
About a third of the kids that stick with
the diet have their seizures go away.

975
01:06:23,187 --> 01:06:27,082
And another third are
significantly improved. Look.

976
01:06:27,156 --> 01:06:31,182
1927. Dr. Hemholtz
from the Mayo Clinic.

977
01:06:31,252 --> 01:06:33,522
Uh, 1937.

978
01:06:33,588 --> 01:06:37,811
That's Dr. Wilkins
from Johns Hopkins.

979
01:06:37,877 --> 01:06:41,194
And, and...
And 1954, 1973.

980
01:06:41,269 --> 01:06:44,019
Dr. Livingston
from Hopkins.

981
01:06:44,086 --> 01:06:47,632
And 1963, Dr. Keith
from the Mayo Clinic.

982
01:06:47,702 --> 01:06:52,492
And 1989, and... We're talking
a couple thousand kids, here.

983
01:06:52,567 --> 01:06:55,829
And-And look, look.
Just last year.

984
01:06:55,895 --> 01:06:59,125
Published 1992.
Johns Hopkins.

985
01:06:59,192 --> 01:07:04,627
They took 58 of the sickest kids,
put them on the ketogenic diet...

986
01:07:04,697 --> 01:07:08,559
...and almost a third of'em
had their seizures go away.

987
01:07:08,633 --> 01:07:13,653
The 1920s? How many kids like Robbie
have there been since then?

988
01:07:13,722 --> 01:07:16,689
I mean, how many children
have been given drugs and operated on...

989
01:07:16,762 --> 01:07:19,064
...and not one of them
was told of this diet?

990
01:07:19,130 --> 01:07:20,986
Something doesn't make sense.

991
01:07:21,051 --> 01:07:24,532
I mean, if all the doctors we've talked
to know about this "kenogenic" diet...

992
01:07:24,542 --> 01:07:26,381
- Ketogenic.
- Ketogenic diet.

993
01:07:26,570 --> 01:07:30,194
Even if they don't like it for some reason,
don't they have to tell us about it?

994
01:07:30,484 --> 01:07:33,129
Can they really censor
information like this?

995
01:07:33,484 --> 01:07:36,693
How can there be joint decision making if
they don't give us information,

996
01:07:36,775 --> 01:07:39,924
- tell us options?
- Didn't you say Doc Peterson,

997
01:07:40,011 --> 01:07:42,660
talked with his neurologist
friends about Robbie...

998
01:07:42,753 --> 01:07:45,760
- ... and not one of them mentioned
a diet? - That's right.

999
01:07:47,650 --> 01:07:50,393
Just drugs... and surgery.

1000
01:07:50,399 --> 01:07:54,141
If this stands any chance
of working, let alone...

1001
01:07:54,207 --> 01:07:58,431
...a one in three chance
of stopping his seizures altogether...

1002
01:08:00,449 --> 01:08:03,897
...why would they rob us
of that hope?

1003
01:08:13,378 --> 01:08:15,233
Dave Reimuller.

1004
01:08:21,507 --> 01:08:24,377
We'll be there.

1005
01:08:24,452 --> 01:08:27,769
Meeting with Abbasac in an hour. She
wants to talk about Robbie's surgery.

1006
01:08:27,844 --> 01:08:31,390
- Oh.
- Uh.

1007
01:08:31,461 --> 01:08:34,428
I'll, uh, I'll meet you.

1008
01:08:34,501 --> 01:08:36,476
Don't see anyone
until I get there.

1009
01:08:36,549 --> 01:08:38,916
I'll meet you in an hour.

1010
01:08:57,224 --> 01:08:59,079
Doc?

1011
01:08:59,144 --> 01:09:04,808
Hi. Dave tells me I might
be of some help to you.

1012
01:09:06,857 --> 01:09:09,378
Come in.

1013
01:09:13,834 --> 01:09:16,420
- There's no need to have an
attorney present. - I'm not a lawyer.

1014
01:09:16,491 --> 01:09:19,808
- I'm a friend of the family.
- This is Jim Peterson. Dr. Abbasac.

1015
01:09:19,884 --> 01:09:22,983
This is Dr. Alison, the pediatric
neurosurgeon I mentioned to Lori.

1016
01:09:23,052 --> 01:09:26,086
- How do you do?
- Hi.

1017
01:09:26,156 --> 01:09:28,839
Please sit down.

1018
01:09:28,908 --> 01:09:33,317
I examined Robbie this morning
and, uh, reviewed his record.

1019
01:09:33,389 --> 01:09:36,488
We have his procedure
scheduled for tomorrow morning.

1020
01:09:36,558 --> 01:09:40,039
I'll just need the signed consent form I
gave you so we can process the paperwork.

1021
01:09:42,575 --> 01:09:44,909
The Reimullers have decided
to go in another direction.

1022
01:09:44,975 --> 01:09:49,253
They're gonna enroll their child in the
ketogenic diet program at Johns Hopkins.

1023
01:09:51,119 --> 01:09:54,283
I told Lori what conditions
for safe transfer must be met...

1024
01:09:54,351 --> 01:09:57,287
...including a medical doctor
to accompany Robbie.

1025
01:09:57,360 --> 01:09:59,335
Now, I don't know
of a single M.D. who would endorse...

1026
01:09:59,408 --> 01:10:02,507
...the kind of foolishness she's
proposing to subject her son to.

1027
01:10:02,577 --> 01:10:05,327
Of course you don't.
Since so many in our profession...

1028
01:10:05,393 --> 01:10:07,947
...choose not to look beyond
the limits of drugs and surgery.

1029
01:10:08,018 --> 01:10:11,663
It's what made me change careers, but
I've kept my medical license current.

1030
01:10:11,731 --> 01:10:15,757
- You're a physician? - We'll meet your
conditions for Robbie's safe transfer.

1031
01:10:15,827 --> 01:10:18,195
I'll accompany him
to Baltimore.

1032
01:10:20,756 --> 01:10:24,815
I assume you've spoken to Johns Hopkins
about these arrangements?

1033
01:10:26,133 --> 01:10:29,548
I have, and the arrangements
have been made.

1034
01:10:29,621 --> 01:10:31,793
They're expecting us.

1035
01:10:31,861 --> 01:10:34,731
Dr. Peterson?

1036
01:10:34,806 --> 01:10:38,897
I assume you know all the evidence in
favor of the ketogenic diet is anecdotal.

1037
01:10:38,966 --> 01:10:41,934
There is absolutely
no scientific evidence this diet works.

1038
01:10:42,006 --> 01:10:46,513
When you say scientific evidence,
if you mean double-blind studies...

1039
01:10:46,583 --> 01:10:48,950
...then I have to ask you, where are the
double-blind studies on the effects...

1040
01:10:49,016 --> 01:10:52,365
...of the interactions between all
the drugs you've had Robbie on?

1041
01:10:52,440 --> 01:10:54,513
Where are the studies
on the surgery you'll propose...

1042
01:10:54,585 --> 01:10:57,040
...as a result
of the electrocorticogram?

1043
01:10:57,113 --> 01:11:02,743
Dr. Abbasac, to arbitrarily pretend that
your treatments for epilepsy are science...

1044
01:11:02,810 --> 01:11:04,719
...and then argue against
a ketogenic diet...

1045
01:11:04,794 --> 01:11:08,275
...seems to me to be the cruelest
of double standards.

1046
01:11:08,346 --> 01:11:12,569
When you and I became doctors, we swore
an oath that said, "First do no harm. "

1047
01:11:12,634 --> 01:11:15,352
Now, if these folks wanna try
to control their son's seizures...

1048
01:11:15,419 --> 01:11:18,201
...by changing what he eats
instead of drugs and surgery...

1049
01:11:18,268 --> 01:11:21,050
...well, I think
they deserve that chance.

1050
01:11:28,733 --> 01:11:33,142
Dr. Abbasac gave the order
to pull him off the paraldehyde...

1051
01:11:33,213 --> 01:11:36,029
...to prevent respiratory problems
while he's traveling.

1052
01:11:36,094 --> 01:11:40,350
Hopefully there'll still be enough left
in his blood to keep him from seizing.

1053
01:11:42,175 --> 01:11:46,366
I put in for a couple
of vacation days, and my supervisor's...

1054
01:11:46,432 --> 01:11:48,766
...pulling together the meds
he'll need for the trip.

1055
01:11:48,832 --> 01:11:52,858
You're goin' with us, then?

1056
01:11:52,928 --> 01:11:55,776
Things don't fall into
place the way this has...

1057
01:11:56,051 --> 01:11:58,484
Dr. Peterson offering
to go with you...

1058
01:11:58,519 --> 01:12:01,341
...another space opening up
for Robbie at Hopkins...

1059
01:12:01,409 --> 01:12:04,574
unless they're meant to be.

1060
01:12:04,642 --> 01:12:09,858
Besides, I think Dr. Peterson is
volunteering his degree, not his expertise.

1061
01:12:09,923 --> 01:12:12,062
If something should go wrong,
he'd need me.

1062
01:12:12,131 --> 01:12:15,514
I haven't seen a doctor
insert an IV in 15 years.

1063
01:12:22,948 --> 01:12:24,858
- Heads up.
- Hey.

1064
01:12:24,933 --> 01:12:27,683
Found a place for you
to stay... free!

1065
01:12:27,749 --> 01:12:30,400
Wh... Holy Sisters
of Saint Francis?

1066
01:12:30,469 --> 01:12:32,674
Mmm! My sister
was a novice there.

1067
01:12:32,742 --> 01:12:36,670
She says the nuns are very nice,
even though they don't talk.

1068
01:12:36,742 --> 01:12:39,710
Uh! Mom in a silent convent?

1069
01:12:39,783 --> 01:12:43,045
Well, it could happen.

1070
01:12:45,032 --> 01:12:48,644
Come on, buddy.
Whoa!

1071
01:12:48,712 --> 01:12:51,560
We're goin' on an airplane,
you know that?

1072
01:12:51,624 --> 01:12:55,170
Big, big, big one.

1073
01:12:58,665 --> 01:13:01,699
I'm excited, Mommy.

1074
01:13:05,066 --> 01:13:09,507
You know that I believe in my bones
what you're doing is wrong.

1075
01:13:09,579 --> 01:13:11,913
I know you do.

1076
01:13:13,900 --> 01:13:18,690
I've been told over the years that I'm
not the easiest person to deal with.

1077
01:13:20,556 --> 01:13:25,413
I hope you're not sacrificing this beautiful
child to a personality conflict with me.

1078
01:13:28,302 --> 01:13:32,459
He's my boy, and I'm his mom.
I'm just doing what I think is right.

1079
01:13:34,094 --> 01:13:38,797
If it were your child, can you honestly
say you'd do anything different?

1080
01:13:44,208 --> 01:13:46,063
I'll be sending you
little bird kisses.

1081
01:13:46,128 --> 01:13:48,103
Hope you get to ride
in a jumbo jet.

1082
01:13:48,176 --> 01:13:50,031
Bye, buddy.

1083
01:13:50,096 --> 01:13:52,104
- Bye, Mom.
- Bye, Mom.

1084
01:13:52,176 --> 01:13:54,032
- I'll take care of him.
- Okay.

1085
01:13:54,097 --> 01:13:56,879
- Thanks.
- Be nice to the nuns.

1086
01:13:58,833 --> 01:14:00,688
Be careful.

1087
01:14:06,803 --> 01:14:08,810
- Bye, Robbie.
- Have a good flight!

1088
01:14:11,635 --> 01:14:13,970
Good luck, squirt.

1089
01:14:26,133 --> 01:14:28,948
- Put this underneath.
- We've arranged for an ambulance.

1090
01:14:30,454 --> 01:14:33,237
- It's okay.
- It's already been 15 minutes.

1091
01:14:33,302 --> 01:14:37,743
- Should we give him some
Valium intramuscularly? - That's it.

1092
01:14:37,815 --> 01:14:40,466
- He's okay.
- Good. I'll tell the pilot.

1093
01:14:40,535 --> 01:14:43,535
That's it, sweetie.

1094
01:15:00,346 --> 01:15:02,680
- Hi.
- May I help you?

1095
01:15:02,747 --> 01:15:04,787
I'm...
I'm Lori Reimuller.

1096
01:15:06,363 --> 01:15:10,935
Oh, yes, Mrs. Reimuller.
Your son's appointment was two days ago.

1097
01:15:11,003 --> 01:15:15,095
I know, I know, I know. But, uh, this
was the soonest that we could get here.

1098
01:15:15,164 --> 01:15:18,907
I'm sorry. Don't you remember
I told you very clearly on the phone...

1099
01:15:18,973 --> 01:15:21,656
...we have no appointment
openings with Dr. Forman

1100
01:15:21,673 --> 01:15:26,043
- or available beds in our hospital program.
- He has to be in the hospital.

1101
01:15:26,147 --> 01:15:29,299
He transferred out of pediatric
intensive care to come here.

1102
01:15:30,526 --> 01:15:32,381
Wait here.

1103
01:15:39,359 --> 01:15:41,727
What do we got here?

1104
01:15:41,792 --> 01:15:44,759
Oh! This is Robbie Reimuller.
I'm his mom.

1105
01:15:44,832 --> 01:15:47,702
- Uh, I have his medical records.
- I've seen them.

1106
01:15:47,777 --> 01:15:51,968
As my receptionist told you,
there are no more beds in the clinic.

1107
01:15:52,033 --> 01:15:54,521
Please, you're not gonna tell me
after we've come all this way...

1108
01:15:54,594 --> 01:15:58,424
...that we have to turn around
and go... back.

1109
01:16:02,946 --> 01:16:05,914
It's of the utmost importance
that the ketogenic diet be started...

1110
01:16:05,987 --> 01:16:08,158
...under strict
medical supervision.

1111
01:16:08,227 --> 01:16:11,228
There are risks.
Do you have a place nearby to stay?

1112
01:16:11,300 --> 01:16:13,634
Yes, yes.
Five minutes away.

1113
01:16:13,701 --> 01:16:16,221
No needles. Follow.

1114
01:16:16,292 --> 01:16:18,496
When was his last meal?

1115
01:16:18,564 --> 01:16:20,539
Uh, breakfast, this morning.

1116
01:16:20,613 --> 01:16:22,981
Push.

1117
01:16:23,046 --> 01:16:25,435
All right.
No more food for two days.

1118
01:16:25,510 --> 01:16:27,998
And then we'll start the diet.

1119
01:16:28,070 --> 01:16:31,649
You know, they took him off
paraldehyde to make the trip out here.

1120
01:16:31,719 --> 01:16:35,745
And the place where we're staying isn't
really set up for a sick child.

1121
01:16:35,815 --> 01:16:38,598
He wants to be treated
like a normal healthy boy.

1122
01:16:38,664 --> 01:16:41,599
Do that, starting now.

1123
01:16:43,688 --> 01:16:46,787
I've been on an airplane.

1124
01:16:46,856 --> 01:16:49,093
And how'd you like that?

1125
01:16:49,161 --> 01:16:51,016
Fun.

1126
01:16:56,906 --> 01:17:00,868
I'm sorry. I thought he would be
staying in the hospital.

1127
01:17:00,939 --> 01:17:05,828
I wouldn't ask you except that
we don't have anyplace else to go.

1128
01:17:05,900 --> 01:17:10,407
No male has ever
slept on these premises.

1129
01:17:14,060 --> 01:17:18,284
If you can manage with
the simple essentials...

1130
01:17:18,349 --> 01:17:23,106
...you're both welcome to stay
with us as long as you need to.

1131
01:17:23,182 --> 01:17:26,761
- Thank you. - Sister Josephine
will show you to your room.

1132
01:17:26,830 --> 01:17:29,099
Can I have a minute?

1133
01:17:35,471 --> 01:17:38,188
If, uh, he gets bad,
you be sure and call 911.

1134
01:17:38,255 --> 01:17:43,112
The hospital can always find
a bed on an emergency basis.

1135
01:17:43,185 --> 01:17:47,887
I know "sorry" doesn't
begin to cover it, but...

1136
01:17:48,945 --> 01:17:51,848
You understand
if anything had happened...

1137
01:17:51,922 --> 01:17:56,145
...Marissa could've lost
her license and her livelihood.

1138
01:18:06,324 --> 01:18:08,713
- Thank you.
- Oh.

1139
01:18:08,788 --> 01:18:13,523
I wonder if you'll ever know how lucky
you are to have this lady for a mother.

1140
01:18:18,870 --> 01:18:21,521
- There you go, buddy.
- Hey.

1141
01:18:21,590 --> 01:18:24,143
Thanks.

1142
01:18:29,975 --> 01:18:31,830
Okay.

1143
01:18:48,505 --> 01:18:51,670
- Hi. - Good morning.
How's everything going so far?

1144
01:18:51,738 --> 01:18:55,087
Good! I, um,
I dreaded the fast.

1145
01:18:55,162 --> 01:18:59,057
I thought he'd be beggin'me
for food, but so far he's not.

1146
01:18:59,131 --> 01:19:01,848
He has had... seizures
the last two days...

1147
01:19:01,915 --> 01:19:04,250
...but only small ones.

1148
01:19:04,315 --> 01:19:09,717
I don't know if it's my imagination or not,
but his whole body seems more relaxed.

1149
01:19:09,788 --> 01:19:14,012
Many parents notice positive changes
during the fasting period.

1150
01:19:14,077 --> 01:19:16,411
Fasting rests the body.

1151
01:19:16,478 --> 01:19:20,155
Now, you'll know within a month whether
the diet is gonna work for Robbie.

1152
01:19:20,222 --> 01:19:22,841
And if it does, you'll
keep him on it for two to three years...

1153
01:19:22,910 --> 01:19:25,299
...before returning him
to a normal diet.

1154
01:19:25,375 --> 01:19:29,304
- Okay.
- To be effective, the ketogenic diet...

1155
01:19:29,375 --> 01:19:32,092
...must be rigidly controlled.

1156
01:19:32,159 --> 01:19:35,542
Each meal is precalculated, and all
foods are weighed on a gram scale.

1157
01:19:35,616 --> 01:19:38,912
- Right.
- It's difficult.

1158
01:19:38,976 --> 01:19:43,963
Well, is it more difficult than watchin'
your kid have a hundred seizures a day?

1159
01:19:44,033 --> 01:19:46,521
I've been teaching
and administering the ketogenic diet...

1160
01:19:46,594 --> 01:19:49,464
...here at Hopkins
since 1949...

1161
01:19:49,537 --> 01:19:51,927
...to well over 500 patients.

1162
01:19:52,003 --> 01:19:57,054
I've never seen a parent, win, lose or draw,
that regrets having given it a try.

1163
01:20:00,099 --> 01:20:02,652
Dear Dave, Lynn and Mark:

1164
01:20:02,723 --> 01:20:06,979
This is day five.
I'm holding my breath.

1165
01:20:07,044 --> 01:20:11,201
No seizures
for three whole days.

1166
01:20:11,268 --> 01:20:13,124
Not one.

1167
01:20:13,189 --> 01:20:16,670
I guess it could be the drugs, but we
already started to take them away.

1168
01:20:16,742 --> 01:20:21,499
The plate is already weighed and
now I'm gonna weigh out 17 grams...

1169
01:20:21,574 --> 01:20:26,877
Mrs. Kelly, the dietician here,
she's been so enthusiastic and helpful.

1170
01:20:26,951 --> 01:20:30,213
She treats us like we were her first
patients. It's hard to believe...

1171
01:20:30,279 --> 01:20:33,214
...she's been doin'this
for over 40 years.

1172
01:20:33,288 --> 01:20:37,697
See how close
to 17 that is? Yeah.

1173
01:20:37,768 --> 01:20:41,598
- I wanna know how good it tastes.
- He loves bacon.

1174
01:20:41,673 --> 01:20:45,765
Robbie's meals are actually much better
looking than I thought they'd be.

1175
01:20:45,833 --> 01:20:47,688
And he wolfs 'em down.

1176
01:20:47,753 --> 01:20:50,056
Our scripture today
is from Matthew 17.

1177
01:20:50,122 --> 01:20:52,009
"A man came to Him
saying, 'Lord... "

1178
01:20:52,075 --> 01:20:55,905
"... have mercy on my son, for he
has epilepsy and suffers severely".

1179
01:20:55,979 --> 01:20:58,762
"And Jesus rebuked the demon,
and he came out of him... "

1180
01:20:58,827 --> 01:21:01,697
"... and the child was cured
from that very hour.

1181
01:21:01,772 --> 01:21:04,106
"Then the disciples came to
Jesus privately and said... "

1182
01:21:04,172 --> 01:21:06,474
"... Why could not
we cast him out?"

1183
01:21:06,541 --> 01:21:12,073
"And Jesus said, 'This kind does not
go out except by prayer and fasting'. "

1184
01:21:12,141 --> 01:21:14,346
Let us pray. Father...

1185
01:21:14,414 --> 01:21:17,381
...we ask Your blessing
on this child, Robbie...

1186
01:21:17,454 --> 01:21:20,099
...that he may come forth
from sickness into health,

1187
01:21:20,110 --> 01:21:22,476
to live as Your servant
in wholeness...

1188
01:21:22,511 --> 01:21:25,580
The nuns are so good to us.
They really made us feel welcome.

1189
01:21:25,647 --> 01:21:30,382
And we're trying not to disrupt
their lives too much.

1190
01:21:30,447 --> 01:21:36,361
- Roast beef. - I'm almost afraid to
say this, but I think this is working.

1191
01:21:36,432 --> 01:21:39,815
- Tonight we have a choice of...
- I know it is.

1192
01:21:41,969 --> 01:21:45,068
Dave, I keep remembering
the questions you asked...

1193
01:21:45,138 --> 01:21:47,626
...about the doctors
censoring information...

1194
01:21:47,698 --> 01:21:51,244
...and robbing us
even of hope.

1195
01:21:51,315 --> 01:21:54,130
And I keep wondering, what could
have gone so horribly wrong...

1196
01:21:54,195 --> 01:21:56,530
...with this whole
medical system?

1197
01:21:59,859 --> 01:22:01,714
Hey, I'll race ya!

1198
01:22:01,780 --> 01:22:05,610
We gave them our son.
We gave them our trust.

1199
01:22:05,684 --> 01:22:08,402
We damn near had
to give 'em our home.

1200
01:22:08,469 --> 01:22:12,364
But instead of giving us
the simplest information...

1201
01:22:12,438 --> 01:22:16,050
...they abused Robbie, and
they almost destroyed us all.

1202
01:22:16,118 --> 01:22:21,716
- Yea, I won! I won!
- Not that any of'em will ever ask...

1203
01:22:21,783 --> 01:22:26,486
...but I wonder if they have
any idea of the pain they caused.

1204
01:22:26,551 --> 01:22:28,624
And I wonder if someday
I'm gonna be able to find...

1205
01:22:28,696 --> 01:22:32,045
...in my heart a way
to get past the anger...

1206
01:22:32,120 --> 01:22:34,095
...and feel forgiveness.

1207
01:22:35,961 --> 01:22:40,217
I don't know, Dave.
I don't know.

1208
01:22:43,962 --> 01:22:46,297
- Hello?
- Hi, it's me.

1209
01:22:46,362 --> 01:22:49,396
- Is everything okay?
- Yeah, we're fine.

1210
01:22:52,699 --> 01:22:55,863
- How's Robbie doing?
- Well...

1211
01:22:58,524 --> 01:23:02,387
...he's almost
our old kid again.

1212
01:23:02,461 --> 01:23:05,047
I think he's comin' back
to us, Dave.

1213
01:23:05,117 --> 01:23:07,321
Ohh.

1214
01:23:07,389 --> 01:23:09,756
Thank God.

1215
01:23:09,821 --> 01:23:12,505
I miss you so much.

1216
01:23:12,574 --> 01:23:15,160
I miss you too.

1217
01:23:15,230 --> 01:23:17,118
I miss us.

1218
01:23:19,039 --> 01:23:21,243
Do you miss us?

1219
01:23:21,311 --> 01:23:24,573
Oh, boy, do I miss us.

1220
01:23:28,768 --> 01:23:31,321
Tell me.

1221
01:23:31,392 --> 01:23:35,549
Dave, we're in a convent here.

1222
01:23:35,617 --> 01:23:38,433
Give the nuns something
to remember you by.

1223
01:24:18,919 --> 01:24:20,829
Come on! Hurry up!

1224
01:24:20,903 --> 01:24:23,358
- Do you see him anywhere?
- I don't see him.

1225
01:24:29,929 --> 01:24:32,263
See him?

1226
01:24:32,328 --> 01:24:34,271
Hey, squirt!

1227
01:24:34,345 --> 01:24:36,647
Good goin',
but you need to hang on.

1228
01:24:36,713 --> 01:24:39,364
I don't need to. I'm big!

1229
01:24:41,610 --> 01:24:43,498
Gotcha!

1230
01:24:47,178 --> 01:24:50,343
Hey, Margeen, look at me!

1231
01:24:50,411 --> 01:24:53,029
Ride 'em, cowboy!

1232
01:24:55,692 --> 01:24:57,547
Hi, Marissa!

1233
01:25:13,198 --> 01:25:16,264
- Hi, Mom and Dad!
- Hi, sweetie!

<i>Way up high</i>

1237
01:25:43,026 --> 01:25:46,802

01:25:46,867 --> 01:25:50,762
<i>That I heard of</i>

1239
01:25:50,836 --> 01:25:56,019
<i>Once in a lullaby.</i>

1240
01:25:57,172 --> 01:25:59,027
Not much of a view, huh?

1241
01:25:59,092 --> 01:26:02,737
<i>Somewhere</i>

1242
01:26:02,805 --> 01:26:07,694

<i>That you dare to dream</i>

1247

<i>And I'll wake up</i>

1251
01:26:36,025 --> 01:26:41,045
<i>Where the clouds
are far behind me</i>

1252

- Way above the chimney tops
- I've never seen a parent...

1256

<i>- win, lose or draw, that regrets having
given it a try. - That's where you'll</i>

1257
01:26:57,277 --> 01:27:01,467
<i>Find me</i>

1258
