Not good: I suppose you have not been given a clear explanation by the parents and they may choose to do so only after they process the answers they received. (if ever) In this country such information is protected and only available to those with written authorization to receive it. The word atrophy equates with withered or shrunken.Global just refers to it not being limited to one area.It is not good
