Right now, Tiger, you've been too influenced by that California sun of yours. You think those temps are normal!

Right now I just finished watching a fascinating segment on 60 Minutes about the Pedo (sp?) Institute in Hungary. They offer hope to parents of children with cerebral palsy -- where docs here in the U.S. have advised parents there is no hope and a shortened life in a wheelchair is the only certainty in their child's future.

The folks at the Institute are training the kids (8 hours a day!) in moving their muscles repetitively --and these kids are learning to feel and control the muscles in their legs and arms. And many are actually walking. (Not gracefully, mind you, but they are sitting up on their own, walking, etc.)

Amazing to witness this one child from Alabama--whose only working muscles were some in his face. He was shown with his therapist holding him and leaning against a wooden chair, putting one foot into a step position himself (not quite a full step yet, but starting on the first movements of a step)--trying to reach his mother.

Makes sense to me that the rigorous muscle training would work. I'm guessing that's the only way ballerinas can do what they do. But you should have seen this toddler's face. It was a very, very difficult struggle for him. (The mom said her first week there was the hardest--it is extremely difficult to watch the struggle.)

Right now, hi, Reader and thank you. Can't wait, either!!! (My ds used to volunteer summers at a CP Camp. He was one of those tough but tender teens; a big kidder and was very popular with the kids.)

And right now, awww, Cindori; it WAS a moving segment.

Right now, letting Tiger know I fell asleep early last night (I am 3 hours later, remember)--and that I wasn't ignoring him. That story is humbling for all parents, I think.

((((Annie)))) Right now I'm sending healing vibes to you!

Right now, I'm stressing over flying tomorrow. It's better then it used to be, because I'd start stressing weeks in advance, now it's just 24 hours! I saw the previews for a new show called "Lost" yesterday and had to squeeze my eyes shut because they showed an airplanes back half break off mid air! NO TV for me today!!

Gidget, right now (well not right now, but soon) I'm off to Phoenix AZ, to a beautiful Spa/Resort. I know it's gonna be HOT, but it was 34 degrees here in Minnesota when I woke up this morning and 40mph winds....brrrrrrrrrr.... so I will love basking in the sun, no matter how hot it is!

Right now saying oooooh pampering... how nice for you RG. No offense but I dont know how people live in cold climes... there was a point when it was a real possiblity I could wind up in Minnesota (in fact it is still possible) and I was freaking. The Northeast is more than I can take

Right now, RG, I'm happy for you and I'd love to come, too---only I would stay inside where the air conditioning reigns. Have a wonderful, relaxing time!!
