Sorry, double post

I'm sorry, but you are obviously very confused re vaccine/immunisation. The terms are used interchangeably, they are not exactly the same thing. The vaccination is what is administered to the body, the vaccine stimulates the immune system to recognise the infection and provide future immunity...

When she died, she was only 13, so she had a young heart and other than the weight would have been pretty 'healthy' with a young persons immune system, heart, lungs etc. Her condition was not caused by injury or trauma, it was by a lack of oxygen. So she was in a pretty good condition to...

I'm supporting Germany, but I'm actually now starting to cringe every time Germany get the ball. This is embarrassing now. I've been feeling sorry for Brazil since about the 24th minute. Feel like Germany should let them score just the 1! Think Germany will go all the way - fantastic...

In the case of the lawsuit for the visually impaired - they may have got a settlement, but they've scorched the earth for the future (so much so that the NFB vehemently objected). They have 16 names on the lawsuit, but how seriously they will be taken is debatable when some of the 16 freely...

At most they have been able to get them to 24-26 weeks gestation (when it's happened so early in a pregnancy), I think a woman in Hungary was kept ventilated for the longest at 3 months, so I still stand by saying they could get weeks only. If it happened in a woman who was already over 24...

Um yeah, that says it all really. I may be making a snap judgement about him, but I'll go with thinking he's a loon. And he is not helping this family at all.

The body won't decompose in the same way - because the tissues are being kept oxygenated by the ventilator. There will be degeneration though, you just can't keep a dead body oxygenated in the same way. You can artifically oxygenate the tissues, and provide medication, but you can't replicate...

Absolutely, Kate was very well vetted after the debacles with both Diana and Sarah Ferguson, and Kate would have been well prepared for what she was entering into. IMO William was well aware of his mother's emotional issues and flaws and wanted to make sure his wife wouldn't be absolutely...

I worked as a midwife for over 11 years in 3 different maternity units across Scotland, and in none of them did we routinely put hats on the babies the way I've seen it done on US 'birth programmes'. Preemies would sometimes have them put on in NNU, but in healthy term babies in the wards not...

I've seen them in Asda and Tesco, think it's about £5 for a pack of 2. Personally I never lock my suitcase, and have never had any problems. After seeing Youtube clips, if someone wants to open a suitcase (even with TSA locks on) they can do it in seconds with a pen. I never put anything of...

For emergency medical care? I highly doubt it, for some very, very specialised treatments only available in the US, and non emergency health needs, yes very possibly. In the UK certainly (and I imagine in the rest of Europe and Canada) if you get knocked down by a bus then you don't go to a...

This. In the UK we pay income tax and also National Insurance which covers welfare - the NHS, Social Security, State Pension etc. It's just a % of your income. I wouldn't say I pay a crazy amount of tax or NI, it's certainly affordable. The NHS isn't perfect, but in the UK we certainly...

Being from the UK and also working for the NHS I just want to clarify things here. Yes, we had swine flu in the UK, but despite media reports we haven't had a 'horrible time' with it. Yes, we have had deaths, but in actual fact, less deaths than you would normally expect from seasonal flu...

Hi Meeko! All caught up now! Great updates and photos as always, the decorations are lovely. Thumper and Miss Bunny were very cute! unsurprisngly Pocahontas is a character my DH wants to meet when we go back! lol! Di x

Great update, and lovely parade photos. Thanks for The Donald photo. ;) I have the same trouble with him as you do with Mickey. He is always looking the opposite way, or else his eyes are closed! Di x

Great updates as always, and love the photos! The christmas decorations all look fabulous, I wish I could be there to see them too. POR looks gorgeous, in a way I'm kind of sad we didn't get to stay there in Oct, though OKW was fabulous! Glad Jonas is back, and that Jacob has settled with his...

Hi Meeko! Enjoyed the update, great photos as always!! Hope you get a chance to do your next update soon, I've been the same, just so busy with Christmas, but I'm off for nearly 2 weeks now, so no excuse really! Di x

Hi Jessica! What a lovely dinner you did for the boys! You're getting so close now, the time will just fly by! Plans are looking good so far! Di x

Hi Meeko! Didn't realise how far behind. :guilty: All caught up now. Your Universal day sounds like good fun, The Simpsons ride is just superb! We're big Simpsons fans anyway, but the theming is excellent. We laugh so much all the way through, not just at the ride, but the jokes too...
