Each week a physical therapist from our school system comes to our house to provide physical therapy assistance to my four year daughter.

Finally some good news on the health care reform front from Roll Call:
House Democrats’ health care bill has been delayed indefinitely as leaders continue negotiations with fiscally conservative Blue Dog Democrats.
