Well, it's kind of funny because at my appointment with Dr. Mehta, I had spoken to the nurse and the social worker and I said, well, do you think there's another kid that we could connect Molly with? Right.
31:17
Because I didn't think I needed anything.
31:19
I'm a clinician.
31:20
But I was wrong.
31:21
I needed the parent side of this, you know.
31:24
So I called a mom who's local.
