Quote #7
DOCTOR: Mrs. Torrance, most of the time these episodes with kids are never explained. They are brought on by emotional factors, and they rarely occur again.
The doctor is pretty sure that no one will ever know why Danny had a blackout fit in his home. She's also pretty confident that this sort of thing will never happen again. Little does she know that Danny is actually having visions of the horror he'll face once his family gets to the Overlook Hotel.
Quote #8
WENDY: No. He didn't like it too much at first, and then he had an injury, so we kept him out for a while, and, yeah, I... I guess that's about the time when I first noticed that he was talking to Tony.
When the doctor asks about Danny's past, Wendy says that Danny has never had an easy time socializing ever since an injury kept him out of nursing school when the other kids were developing their social skills. It's around this time that Danny started socializing by talking to Tony.
Quote #9
WENDY: It's... it's just the sort of thing you do a hundred times with a child—you know, in a park or on the streets—but on this particular occasion my husband just... used too much strength and he injured Danny's arm.
Wendy is quick to defend her husband Jack for dislocating Danny's shoulder when he was just little. In her mind, it's the kind of thing that could happen to anybody. But she's clearly unnerved by the fact that Jack was drunk and angry when it happened.
