Three things
1. I have A LOT of work and it’s all due right this second or tomorrow. I’m going to be slaving away all day. No blog time.
2. Someone I know in the blogosphere knows (in person) the brilliant young woman who wrote this brilliant essay and she and I both want to encourage you all to read it if you haven’t, although you probably have.
3. You know what’s really boring for a kid? Dialysis. You know what makes dialysis easier? Video games and television-watching! No guilt there — there really isn’t much else to do while you’re hooked up to a machine acting as your kidneys. Problem is lots of hospitals have a few broken games and a handful of outdated shows. You and your kids can help and Julia tells you how.
http://www.childsplaycharity.org/ is another great way to get games for kids in hospitals. You can look at wishlists from hospitals from all over and send them games directly from Amazon.
Thanks a million for linking to that article. Brilliant indeed!
