I had my first personal encounter w/lice today. A girl in my class has been dozing off lately (just found out parents are divorcing, lots of drama) and as her head was bobbing I saw little bugs crawling around. I still feel itchy just being around her. I referred her to the nurse, thankfully it’s not part of my job to deal w/that.
Not much else to report today. Food has been good and so has exercise (1 hr. cardio, lower body weights).
While I was at the gym I watched “Oprah” w/Michael J. Fox. I have always liked him but Parkinson’s Disease is somewhat similar to my son’s disease so I was curious to hear what breakthroughs are possible now that the stem-cell research ban has been lifted. Dr. Oz said that he thought we were single-digit years away from a cure and I nearly cried. I know that a cure for Parkinson’s won’t be a cure for Canavan’s but it can’t hurt. And I also know that even if Kyle is cured tomorrow that he won’t be “normal” but at least his disease won’t get worse and he won’t die from it. It was very uplifting, I think I’m going to read Michael J Fox’s book this summer.

Maybe I’ll watch Oprah today, now! I love Micheal J Fox… how hopeful he is and how positive. I just read an article about his new book. Good for him.
OMG what a visual. My head’s itching now, too.
GREAT news about stem cell research. I know it lifted your heart a bit! I’m happy for you.

I missed Oprah. I remember I used to watch Family Ties all of the time. I am sorry I missed the show. Dir you see that Oprah is going to do a show with Valerie bertinelli, Marie Osmond, and a few other stars on their weight loss?? I dont know when it will be on we will have to look for it.
YUCK YUCK YUCK! lice! Now my head itches!
Take care and keep up the good work.

I am really glad to hear about the stem cell research. I’ve always been for this type of research, as long as things aren’t abused, ya know? I’ll say a prauer for your little boy that soemthing coems up really soon
Lice.. yumm ICK . big ICK!
You’ll do it, you have reasonable goals and seem really grounded! Good for you with the ambitious lifting goals… it’s such a good fat burner!!
what a wonderful ray of hope for you! won’t it be a shame if they do find a cure, and we realize we wasted all those years with regulations!!! How we can regulate scientific research and NOT the friggin banking industry, is beyond my comprehension!
Lice…ewwwww….I am grateful my kids are older now and we escaped early childhood without having to delouse!
