More Musical Kids

Ballet recital gone wrong



Sweet kid with cystic fibrosis gets his groove on during his breathing treatment



And finally, Children Medieval Band, consisting of siblings Stefan (10), Olga (8) and 5-year-old Cornelia on drums covering "Sonne" by German band Rammstein in their apartment (I love this stuff). Cornelia kicks ass on one drum with two "sticks" - one a regular drumstick covered in fabric, and the second a maraca used to simulate a snare drum



They actually OPENED for Rammstein a week ago (May 20th) in Denver, where they live. They played two songs, "Ich Will" and "Sonne." The crowd ate them up! (Not literally, thankfully)

God Hates No One

A nine-year-old boy in Kansas staged a solo counter-protest of the evil Westboro Baptist Church armed with a notebook, a pencil and a powerful message (pic taken by his mom after he asked her for permission to do this)



Good job, kid. More here.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

What a wonderful job this 22-year-old person living with leukemia did creating this video in one day while in Seattle Children's Hospital. (Late teens and early twentysomethings with cancer often start or stay with pediatric cancer specialists until an appropriate time is determined by all parties for an individual patient to transfer to an adult oncologist if needed, since we all age at different rates and conditions are unique.) This young man, seen in the orange shirt in the vid, apparently lit up the place and captured the joy on camera



Beautiful. Look at those gorgeous faces (including the nurses)!

I picked up this button at a recent oncology nursing conference - love it :)

I thank God every day for the opportunity and privilege to do what I do. It is an honor to know and care for these lovely people.
