Meet Charley Banks
Charley Banks is an 18 month old biracial male who has been brought to the clinic by his foster mother, Susan Booth. Susan and her husband have been taking care of Charley for 3 weeks and she is concerned because he cries a lot and seems to be in pain.
Susan doesn't know much about Charley's medical history. He is in her custody until his mother completes a 6 month drug rehabilitation program. When Charley was taken into custody, he was undernourished and showed some developmental delays, but Susan is happy to say that he's eating well and gaining weight.
Charley is cute as button, but very shy. He toddles around the office while you talk to Susan.
