This is not for me, but I got an email about 10 minutes ago from my sister-in-law. My nephew, Owen (born this past July) has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy. (here's a little general info on the condition: http://kidshealth.org/parent/medical/brain/cerebral_palsy.html)
Today has been sort of strange for me, I was all thinking about my problems, my worries, grieving over the loss of my grandma (went to her memorial site today as I was unable to get back for the actual service in January) and just BSing on OM today trying to stay distracted. Now I get this email and while I am not extremely close to my little brother these days, this really upsets me. I love my nephews and I hope Owen receives the best care possible. It makes me realize as wrapped up as I get in my own stupid stuff, sometimes I forget that others have much more difficult circumstances and stresses then I do.
At any rate, if you all could throw a little prayer or whatnot their way I would appreciate it.
