Regan,
That is very interesting information. I recognize that rotavirus and Cdif can be deadly for infants and the elderly (respectively). Perhaps these types of vaccines will be available for our seniors.

Before the vaccine, more than 200,000 U.S. children were taken to emergency rooms and more than 55,000 were hospitalized each year with rotavirus, which causes vomiting and diarrhea, mostly from January through May. Worldwide, the virus kills 1,600 young children each day.

I am enjoying the repartee, it is the type of banter that soothes a weary soul. hj and mama, the ouija-skype image is hysterical.

Sadly, when reality bites, Jenny and her ‘recovered-cured’ child will go back to movieland and posture for her next blockbuster, and we will go back to the business of parenting autism.
