Showing concern, isn't showing pity, but of course this is going to affect Mel's family, and they are probably worried about the future, not to say that the future isn't going to be bright.

I meant that when a child has always had the condition. Obviously its sad that they arent 'normal' by the general standard but to themselves and their family they ARE normal.
I was just saying how its strange how people say it when there isnt always a good reason to think that way. It wasnt aimed specifically at you.
