Happy New Year Laura and everyone else too!

On a happy note - my son, Sam, who was deafened from meningitis 7 years ago - has gotten his photo in the Cochlear Corporation Annual Report.  This is a company that makes the miracle of hearing available to him now:)  Hopefully a similar thing for the headaches will come eventually, we live in a wonderful time.

You can see him at the following link:  http://www.cochlear.com/Corp/Investor/AnnualReport2007/ed02_binaural_a.htm

Regards,

Suzanne in CT

mom to Sam, 8yo
