XP: Update on Campbell's death

(I wanted to post this over here since yall were so great with your T&P's after she passed away)  I apologize if it upsets anyone.  Thank you for your T&P's.

We got the autopsy report on Friday-

Primary cause of death-pneumonia

Secondary cause of death- Reactive Airway Disease (RAD) and Hypotonia

I talked to the Medical Examiner and explained that Cam showed no signs of pneumonia and she said that she was not shocked to hear that.  She said it most likely came on very fast.  We did not know that she had RAD despite having a team of medical professionals.  We also did not know that hypotonia could play a role in a death.  The ME told me that in our case, Cam's hypotonia weakened her diaphragm. 

So if you know of anyone who has a child with hypotonia, please encourage them to get their child checked out by a specialist.
