The parents thought is that it was related to medication she was put on at Kaiser LA, which very well, I mean, there are medications we all know with side effects that could be part of it. According to the documentation by the defendants, there were normal opto exams throughout that time period. And despite those normal exams, the parents were still saying she was having vision loss.

Right, but it's going to be the ones at Rady's Children's that come in a little bit later that are the ones that are kind of the bulk of this, the lawsuit component. But I think these parts of the story we have that help us see how we got to where we are at Rady's and why maybe Rady's was thinking what they were And the parents were kind of coming in thinking what they were.
