I don't think this was meant to be a discussion on stem cells...whether pro or con that particular type of research.

Patti needs our support and prayers right now.

Neurological diseases can hit any one at any time. Boom. Not much warning. The life that you once had which was quite 'normal' in every sense of the word is now totally changed. Gone. Rush is fortunate that he still maintains his health. He should thank his lucky stars. How sad that he feels the need to attack someone who has absolutely no control over the changes that his body is going through. How dare he. Neurological diseases can hit any one.

I know that first hand.

I pray that research for diseases like this become more of a priority to those who hold the purse strings of ALL of our nations. Health care for all is one thing, but research into the diseases that take the lives of more and more people each year needs to be brought into the forefront of our consciousness. It's because of people like MJ Fox that parkinsons is now understood a little better....he's used his fame and money for something so very important...something that helps so many.

God bless you and Jack, Patti. Topher, the kids, Cal and I send our love to you both...and to little Baby Blessing. You are so dear to us.
