Thank

Agree w/ Dr. Raboubi: One question 1st please. Under PROCEDURES you mention "doppler ultrasound of newborn head." Are we talking about something done LONG AGO or are discussing a current pregnancy? If pregnant then, medications would need to be cleared with OB/GYN. If historical, OK. I wanted to add that if nightmares are included in this presentation that there is SPECIFIC MEDICATION available for this condition.
