Finding Loss at Home
So, I went to clinical for 230pm and did the pre-conference then my 9-year-old daughter calls me crying hysterically about a fire at school. I can not understand her so ask my instructor if I can leave. He of course says yes. I am worried as my daughter is not answering her phone. I text my 12-year-old son on my way home (was taking public transit not my own vehicle) to let me know when he is home so he can check on her. He texts me eventually telling me he is cuddling her on the couch eating candy and she is way calmer than when he got home to be with her. Such a good brother. But I already left work and thankful I did. My ex texted me around 3pm, just shortly after I got back home to my kids, that day asking if I have seen or heard his Partner, but I hadn’t and was heading to store with kids. So, when I got back home at about 430, I texted Alex to see if I still needed to check on her (she has been sick – bad earache on a couple days before and then vomiting and cold symptoms the night before and current day). I am thankful that after school my 9-year-old daughter didn’t check on her ‘stepmom’ as my daughter thought it was weird that it was so quiet when she knew her ‘stepmom’ must be home. My daughter also found it weird her ‘stepmom’ did not check on her when she was crying. I even texted the ‘stepmom’ to check on my daughter and that I was on my way home, but received no response so I assumed she was napping, since she was sick.

Adopting a child as a step-parent: What's involved?
Step-parents have widely different relationships with their step-children. In some cases, they are simply the spouses of the children’s biological parents. In others, they can effectively replace the natural parent. When the latter situation occurs, it can make sense to formalise it through adoption.

The modest reduction in beta-amyloidogenic processing of APP may be a viable strategy to prevent Alzheimer's disease
In the pursuit of effective strategies to prevent and combat Alzheimer's disease, researchers have focused on understanding the underlying mechanisms that contribute to the development and progression of this devastating condition. One area of significant interest revolves around the role of beta-amyloid, a protein fragment that accumulates abnormally in the brains of Alzheimer's patients. Recent studies have shed light on the potential benefits of modestly reducing the beta-amyloidogenic processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) as a promising strategy to prevent the onset of Alzheimer's disease. In this article, we delve into the intricate details surrounding this research and explore the implications it holds for future therapeutic interventions.
