I Don’t Have Cancer Anymore


Garrett was a 2-year-old live wire when his right eye started to wiggle, as his mother, Tracye, describes it. Just to be safe, Tracye took Garrett to an ophthalmologist, who referred him to Texas Childrens. After a series of tests, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Two days later, while his family was still reeling from the impact of the diagnosis, Garrett had brain surgery and started treatment at Texas Childrens Cancer Center. Now a happy, healthy preschooler, Garrett barely remembers his days in the hospital but Texas Childrens made quite an impression on the family. Inspired by the centers expert nursing care, Tracye is studying to become a pediatric oncology nurse. The family has become active in efforts to raise funds for pediatric brain tumor research for other volunteer organizations serving children with cancer, where they often meet other families facing the disease. “Whenever we meet families with children who have cancer, I always tell them right away that Texas Childrens Cancer Center is the best place for kids”, Tracye says. “Why go anywhere else?”

For young children, what the most popular types of video games?

I am trying to find out what types of video/PC games children play, broken down by age and gender. For example, what are the most popular games for a 4 year old boy versus a 6 year old boy, or a 5 year old girl compared to a 5 year old boy?

If anyone has any insight or information on where to find hard data to answer this question, please let me know.

I am looking for ringtones that can be purchased online, that aren’t from the sites that make you take surveys or start a monthly contract. Does anyone know of a good site?
Thanks!
