- Slide: 1
- You and your husband have several decisions to make. You can choose to keep her at home, or you can send her to a special school for the developmentally disabled. There aren't many choices locally. You can also decide to put Melody in a residential facility where she can be cared for and kept comfortable. Let's see, Melody is, ah, five now. That's a perfect age for her to learn to adjust to a new environment. You and your husband can get on with your lives without her as a burden. In time, her memories of you will fade.

- You've got it easy- you have all your physical functions working properly. You never have to struggle just to be understood. You think you're smart because you have a medical degree? You're not so intelligent sir- you're just lucky! All of us who have all our faculties intact are just plain blessed. Melody is able to figure out things, communicate, and manage in a world where nothing works right for her. She's the one with the true intelligence!
- I'm taking you right now and enrolling you at Spaulding Street Elementary School.

- Let me tell you something, Doctor. There is no way in heaven or hell that we will be sending Melody away to a nursing home! You know what? I think you're cold and insensitive. I hope you never have a child with difficulties- you'd probably put it out with the trash! And whats more, I think you're wrong- I know you are! Melody has more brains hidden in her head than you'll ever have, despite those fancy degrees from fancy schools you've got posted on your walls!
