MSNBC/CNN seem to be Re-Run for Holidays..but Faux had wonderful Alexrod Piece on his Daughter!

[KoKo]

I never watch FAUX/Murdoch...but with with MSNBC/DOCK BLOCK all the time and CNN with GUPTA and War or Repeats...I decided I'd see what Faux was doing, and the feature when I clicked was on Axelrod and his wife's daughter who has epilepsy and how they have coped. It was quite good. I was surprised.

Anyone catch it? Amazing they would show the Axelrod family in a positive light.

:shrug: What's Up with that?

David Axelrod's Daughter Finds a Home in Her Fight With Epilepsy

Lauren Axelrod is the daughter of one of the most influential men in Washington: David Axelrod, senior adviser to President Obama.

Lauren, 29, had her first epileptic attack when she was just 7 months old, and over the next 18 years those attacks became so severe that she could experience as many as 25 a day. The attacks did permanent damage to Lauren's brain and left her developmentally disabled.

In 2000, while she was in the middle of another severe attack, Lauren's doctor told the Axelrods about a new anti-convulsant drug known as Keppra. In just a few days after taking the medication, all her seizures disappeared. She became healthy, but she still needed round-the-clock care.

With Lauren's health improving each day, the Axelrods were worried about their own mortality and their daughter's future. They found a place called Misericordia, which means "Heart of Mercy." The Chicago-based home for the developmentally disabled has become a haven for families like the Axelrods.

Sister Rosemary Connelly has been the executive director and visionary for the not-for-profit home for 40 years. Known as "Saint Rosemary," she has created a nurturing and practical environment for the 600 residents on the 31-acre facility. "It's what can they do, what will make them fulfilled as people. And that's what we work at," Connelly says.

2. Happy to k/r!

As a special mom, I know what a hard decision it is to find a home for your special child . . . a decision I'm not quite ready to do yet.

Sounds like they found a great place for her.

3. Gupta had amazing long interview with Michael J. Fox. CNN & MSNBC did Axelrod's daughter long time

CNN & MSNBC both did stories on Axelrod's daughter a long time ago, I believe. I saw one somewhere.

I'm guessing that this was something that Fox had in the can to run during the holidays, when not many people would be watching.
