ANSTEAD, Judge.

This is an appeal by a defendant-physician from a judgment in favor of the plaintiffs in a wrongful death action arising from the appellant's alleged neglect in treating appellees' child for meningitis. Appellant contends that the trial court improperly excluded evidence of the deceased child's possible decreased life expectancy and quality of life due to meningitis, assuming that the child had lived. We affirm.
