Christine Toy Johnson: Dr. Celia Lee

Quotes 

• Olivia Benson : Dr. Lee. Noah looks so much better. His color's come back. He's smiling. Thank you.

  Dr. Celia Lee : He's stabilized for now. He's breathing on his own.

  Olivia Benson : Great. When can I take him home?

  Dr. Celia Lee : We'd like to keep him a few more days.

  Olivia Benson : Why?

  Dr. Celia Lee : Noah's birth mother was a drug addict?

  Olivia Benson : Yes. He hasn't had much prenatal or infant care, but we are all caught up. He's had his vaccinations, his weight...

  Dr. Celia Lee : You brought him into your home four months ago? Before that, multiple foster care homes?

  Olivia Benson : Yes, but since then, he's been thriving.

  Dr. Celia Lee : Not to alarm you, but his lung x-rays showed old rib fractures. It's not uncommon in foster care infants. Were the homes vetted?

  Olivia Benson : Yes, but the first two in a half months of his life, he was not in a stable environment, but Child Services said that there were no signs of abuse.

  Dr. Celia Lee : How hard did they look? We need to do a more thorough workup.

  Olivia Benson : What does that mean? He's had so many needles.

  Dr. Celia Lee : No needles. Skeletal X-ray, CT scan...

  Olivia Benson : But he's developing normally.

  Dr. Celia Lee : He has lung issues. He had it rough early on. Sometimes complications from trauma develop later, physiologically and neurologically. He can't tell us what he went through. I'd like to be proactive here.
