The link between the baby’s present condition and the three-year-old sisters is that, the three year old might have transferred the virus to the six month old through touch, coughing or sneezing. As it is with shingles the virus was dormant for four month till the time that their mother noted the blister like lesions on the babies back (page17). 4.The baby did not have symptomatic illness when his sister was experiencing it because at the time, the baby was being breast fed by the mother. This means the baby was getting natural antibiotics from his mother through the breast milk. Two moths after the cessation of breast-feeding, the baby did not have that protection anymore.

Case Study (Mrs. B) Mrs. B is a 79-year-old retired schoolteacher who was in excellent health prior to suffering a stroke three days previously. Her physician has on file in her medical record a living will, which she wrote out some ten years before. At that time she had indicated that, should she ever suffer a stroke of any sort, she would not want to be saved. She had watched her mother live as an invalid for about four years in a nursing home after sustaining a stroke. Mrs. B wanted to be sure she would never be exposed to such an indignity nor constitute such a burden on others.
In 1996 a pregnant woman, Darlene Brown, was admitted to Ingalls Memorial Hospital by her caring physician, Dr. Walsh. Brown had consented to have a cystoscopy and have a urethral mass removed. Brown had also been informed that she would lose blood during the operation, but had not discussed with her Doctor that she was a Jehovah's Witness and that blood transfusions are not part of her belief system. During the operation she lost more blood than anticipated and as result her blood hemoglobin level dropped below normal levels. Her low hemoglobin level put her and her unborn baby at high risk of death.

With a regretful tone, she explained how she, too, rejected her cultural diversity out of respect for her parents’ wishes and in an attempt to fit in.

In fact, the investigators discovered that Anna thought Jojo was too fat and only fed her water and bananas to help her lose weight. She apparently fed Jojo like this for three weeks before the teacher noticed a change in Jojo during school time. When the teacher noticed that Jojo was rapidly losing weight, she contacted Anna, who told the teacher to mind her own business.
