Cleveland nonprofit creates a ‘Special Space’ for North Royalton toddler
As a parent, there can be nothing more heartbreaking than discovering your child has a serious medical condition. There can also be nothing more comforting than discovering the immense love and support of those around you as you fight for your child’s quality of life.

Brace yourself: We’ve officially entered flu season
There’s a scene in the satirical comedy, “The Devil Wears Prada,” in which office snob and fashionista Emily remarks that she’s “just one stomach flu away” from her goal weight.

The flu affects millions of families across the country each year and its likely to affect millions more again as we officially enter flu season, that cringe-worthy time of year that makes parents run for cover, cancel fun family plans and head t ....
