I said something like, "Mary Ellen, I know you would like to have us leave the baby with you for the day or overnight.  That is not going to happen.  You have had x episodes where you have collapsed in public and have ended up in the hospital with serious injury.  You may have collapsed at home as well and not told us about it.  Right now there is no medical explanation for these episodes so there is no treatment protocol that you can follow to eliminate, minimize, or predict these episodes.  We cannot allow you to be responsible for our infant when she may not be safe with you.  If you collapsed while holding her and hurt her or if you collapsed and left her unattended for a lengthy period of time, I know you would never forgive yourself.  I would have a hard time forgiving you too.  So you can respect this decision and we will make every effort to see you regularly.  If you can't respect this decision and continue to complain about us to other family members and make passive-aggressive and openly hostile comments directly to us, we will not make time in our schedule for you to see her beyond major holidays."

It took some hardball, but she got it.[/quote]

Assuming this is true, you're my new hero. Well done.[/quote]
