Lyra, I should live forever then! I've have my 11 year old grandson here for 6, yes SIX days now, wants to spend one more night! It's computer games, x-box, Wii...

The PhD Psychologist I worked with after my last car accident, used to work at University Hospitals with children suffering from cancer, and played video games with them in attempt to take their mind off severe pain.

Good post, thanks for sharing!
Hugs to you and your daughter,
