There are so many exciting things happening in the world today.  I have also heard of an amazing surgery technique invented for people whose brains are swelling up inside their skulls.  It was invented to help victims of the Iraq war but has helped the somebody distantly related to me.  The top of the skull is removed to relieve the pressure and placed in the abdominal cavity to keep it alive until the swelling goes down and is replaced.  It save her life and I am sure many others. 

I would love to hear about other marvelous and creative things that people are doing.
