Thanks...and do you know if this is the family that didn't believe in ANY medical intervention? I read of one of the cases (not sure if it was PA or MN) that the child was 4 and sick for days, but the parents didn't believe in going to the dr. I was just wondering if you knew if this was the same 4 yo?

I heard they were amish- but don't quote me on that-- said to "eschew modern medicine" but the child was treated at CHOP. Also, there was another case- the 2 yr old that died, they also were part of a religion that refused vaccination and "modern medicine" but that child was also treated at a hospital, so I have no idea.

I'll wait to really comment until the article comes out.
