Hi Guys,
I would like to donate some Simply Thick and Elecare that I have at home but, I don't know how to do that. Does anyone needs it in here? I could put them on ebay with a symbolic fee and accept your bit or something like that...you will just need to pay for shipping fees inside the US would be better.
Any other ideas?? Tks, Lilly.

i spoke very briefly as a patient advocate. during break, a woman came up to me and said her son…

Bella is a happy little girl. She's 2 (almost 3), and she has defied statistics that said she'd be either dead or deformed and/or severely delayed in her development. She doesn't care what they said. She walks, talks, and plays like a regular kid her age. She draws (really, really well for her age!) and can identify 98% of the alphabet by sight in or out of order. She can count to 7 and knows numbers up to 10 by sight, and she is fond of the color blue. She has recently started singing…
