I didn't know they kept stats on this Dave. Have llearned so much from this one thread alone

Thanks Dave so hopefully there will be something written in the paper work which gives me more insight of her tests.

He will know the straight forward disabilities caused by her condition - but that's about all.

We have looked at...
