NEW BABY BLUES

If you’ve ever been a new parent suffering from sleep deprivation you’ll sympathize with a couple in Florida whose 3-year-old son has never slept in his entire life. The boy is suffering from an extremely rare medical condition called chiari malformation which puts pressure on this brain in such a way that he is unable to sleep at night. "(My husband) has the day shift and I kind of have the afternoon shift," said his mom. "We share the night shift because no one can sleep in the house when he is up anyway." The boy is scheduled for experimental surgery to try to relieve the condition. (Local6.com)
