Kathleen had a really tough day due to the fact that her suction machine broke today and it took nearly all day for Apria to deliver a new machine. Thanks to Kathleen's caring godfather at Kaiser, her respiratory therapist Luis, who continued to hound Apria until they finally delivered the new device. Kathleen went to sleep early tonight resting after the additional breathing stress today.

It is 'moral' for George Bush to spy on US Citizens without warrants but apparently immoral to conduct stem cell people to help the injured or people with debilitating diseases. George Bush vetoed the stem cell bill and flaunted congresses subpoenas for information on his warrantless domestic spying program. George Bush must live in opposite world.

Kathleen may or may not have big caregiver issues in the next week. Updates soon.

Good news in therapy for the brain.

Nothing new from Kathleen. She has gone off blood thinners which might increase her risk of a blood clot, but at least she is getting more "poison" out of her body. Originally, the blood thinner she was on was used as rat poison.

Tomorrow is a worldwide Heart Rhythm Day to publicize the fact that slow heart rates, like Kathleen had, might actually be a heart defect rather than just the 'heart of an athlete in Olympic level shape' as Kathleen's doctor told her. This problem can be especially acute if there are instances of fainting, collapses or seizures. Kathleen had all three occurences but was ignored by Kaiser. :( Thrive!

After several months of eeg biofeedback, most of the caregivers and I have concluded that there has been little change in Kathleen. We are going to continue the therapy for awhile, but no longer see much hope.

Can George Bush do anything to HELP Americans?

I feel bad that in the endless stream of activities the girls see less of their mother. :(


A man in Poland woke up after 19 years in a coma with all of his faculties.
