A Conversation with Ricki ( reported to me by Ricki’s Sister)

Ricki: Why does O. (her nephew, a 2 month-old baby) only drink and not eat?
Sis: Because he has no teeth.
(Ricki doesn’t believe, so sis shows her. O’s gums are toothless.)
Ricki: So he has to go to the hospital right away with complete anesthesia, to get his teeth fixed!

A description of this blog

This blog is basically a diary, journal, and notes of observations. In the past it dealt mostly with the topics of special needs, especially a real view of what life is like with (and for) a teen with Down syndrome. However, since Ricki's death in August 2012, at age 17, the amount of blogging on the subject of "special needs" has decreased. Additional topics are interpersonal relationships, life in Israel, and dieting. (I have lost 75 kilos...)(And no, I did NOT have weight-loss surgery....) Also an occasional get-on-a-soapbox-and-tell-it-like-it-is personal opinion.
