This video is just so, so sad…

This video is so sad, it’s beyond words. This is one of the few children that’ve been discovered to almost have been born “mentally ill”, and the amount of medication that she takes to quell some of her delusions would probably kill a normal person. She is also the youngest confirmed schizophrenic sufferer on record, and it’s clear that her family’s not getting the help that they need. Although she’s attacked countless people, tried to kill herself and her brother, her parents’ insurance company has denied so much. Residential care settings, even being institutionalized, for example, because she “doesn’t need it”. :(

I’ve never been good at math.

To be honest, I wish I knew a little bit more about finance. Although I know some of the more basic things about money, I would say that I’ve been dyslexic since around elementary school. Even though I don’t let it stop me now, and have gotten to be good enough at math… I still like to leave almost everything that has to do with finances to the professionals who are trained in that field. One of those are Premium Finance, as a matter of fact. Once I’ve graduated from school and have my job as a nurse, I think I’m going to take heed to some of the wonderful advice about finance that they have on their site. :)

I can have my cake, and eat it!

Soon, Jason’s got another one of his ophthamologic check-ups coming up. The one thing that I like about his opthamologist’s office is that they have a really nice room for the little kids, and it’s chuck full of toys and other things that kids love. Since the man who used to be his ophthalmologist has since retired, the man that he was training to take his practice is now Jason’s ophthamologist. He is a nice enough fellow, and he’s congenial and friendly.

We should cut back on paper…

Whenever I can, I like to buy or do things that help out the environment. As it is, there are so many things that we as humans do now that hurt the environment more than we help it. For instance, we tend to throw out a lot of disposable items that take forever to biodegrade in landfills, assuming that they even do. Personally, I think that buying whatever you can that’s been recycled is worth the extra money that it may cost, no matter what it is you do. Dolphin Blue is a good source for eco-friendly office supplies. It is the only online source where all products contain recycled materials. I feel, and know, that cutting back on the paper that we use is important, too. So many of us throw out a lot of it that we should really conserve the paper that we do have, make it last and perhaps use it for other things when we’re done with it. As long as it’s not something that’s dangerously important or life-altering, used paper can be used to line animal cages.

Jason’s back from the dentist!

Not only does Jason come back from his most recent dental visit with absolutely no cavities to boast, but all of his milk teeth are in! I was right when I’d begun to suspect that the growth of his third year molars was making him a little fussy there, but I couldn’t really see them since you can’t see that far into the back of a baby’s mouth… even when they’re fussing. To his credit, he did handle the whole ordeal better than I had originally thought he would. He wasn’t quite as fussy as he was last time, and as long as he was sitting in my lap, he seemed fine enough… when they weren’t messing in his mouth, getting the X-rays that they periodically take. Afterward, they gave his teeth a quick and easy flouride treatment and he even got a little grab bag of some goodies for his troubles.

Have you heard about this?

I know that I’ve written about all of the great things that cryo-cell has done for families, time and time again… so this post isn’t going to be an exception to that rule. Until I found out about Cryo-Cell, I didn’t really think too much about the importance of harvesting stem cells from one’s menstrual lining or storing your newborn baby’s cord blood. But I’ve heard some really good things about the discount that Cryo-Cell is now offering expectant families! You can save an amazing and astounding $725 on Cryo-Cell’s U-Cord service by using the promotional code HOT. That’s got to be more than I’ve ever saved on anything in my life! I don’t think those savings can be beaten, so that’s certainly piqued my interest…

To this day, over twelve thousand umbilical cord transplants have been done worldwide thus far. The stem cells that can be harvested from the umbilical cord of a newborn baby are enough to treat a child or a small adult, and they have been proven to treat over seventy-five different diseases. Some of these diseases, such as leukemia, would otherwise have been disabling or life-threatening. It’s no wonder that Cryo-Cell is the industry’s leader in cord blood banking, and they’ve had over 175,000 happy clients to present day!
