Walking for Adam - Group B Strep

Today I have a guest post from a blogger who has become a very important person in my life. Charlotte's story about her son Adam is truly inspirational. You can follow Adam's journey at Walking for Adam.  Charlotte was a carrier of Group B Strep, but like thousands of pregnant women, did not know it. What happened next was terrifying, and the consequences of this infection still affect Adam today. I would like you to read Adam's journey and sign this petition. The petition is closing soon, so please sign to get this issue raised in Parliament.

    Thank you Stacey, every signature helps. One of the horrible ironies is that because I'm Canadian, I therefore have friends and family there and their health system routinely tests for GBS. However none of my friends or family even thought to mention it because it was just another routine test for them, but once Adam was in NICU, I had a few apologies and "I'm so sorry I never thought to tell you about it, I wish I had!" or "But WHY does your health system not test for it?!" Why indeed. x

  4. You still have to expert all of those other guitar chords so as to
    engage in very easy popular music. Instead, focus on a single thing or just a couple of things, and try not to move
    forward until you have reached those goals.
    Once you know these scales, in all twelve keys, then you have
    a very solid foundation on which to learn how to play piano chords.

  11. Douching and unique scented bathroom items can upset the pure stability of bacteria in the vagina
    and make yeast infections much more possible. Drinking a
    lot of water, eating plain yogurt, and drinking unsweetened cranberry juice as part of her daily diet can help maintain a

    chords that produce the inspiration behind so much
    music and make it so satisfying both to listen to and to play.
    Instead, focus on a single thing or just a couple of
    things, and try not to move forward until you have reached those goals.
