repetition is the mother of learning...
so i failed already in posting everyday, but i'll make up for it. let me explain where i have been. while leaving clinic tuesday night, i realized my friends window had been smashed and our backpacks were stolen, along with our notes and books. bummer deal. it actually really upset me more than i thought. I guess God is teaching me to hold my possessions more loosely. They are his after all...
cool fact #2:
there is a drug, the name escapes me (i left my binder at school) that is extracted from the saliva of a leech!
fact #3
we started behavior development today. we looked at a CT of a healthy 3 yo baby brain compared to a neglected (only socially, but still well fed) 3 yo brain. the neglected one was literally half the size! i couldn't believe it, infact i just stared at the screen with my mouth open for a while, thinking of my sister who was raised in an orphanage until age 4. i guess that explains a lot.
fact #4
i thought i diagnosed my mom today with hyperekplexia aka "startle disease" mom jumps every time her phone rings. sounds like a diagnosis, right? well, turns out its a bit more severe than that. these spasms can actually mimic seizures, leading to apnea and death. well, i was wrong with my first diagnosis (thank goodness) but i'm still searching...
