I was in Houston Texas this weekend at a conference on Religion and Medicine. On Saturday evening there was the premier screening of a film entitled “Your Health: A Sacred Matter.” It will view on PBS in May and Michelle and I are in it as are some of Michelle’s team members as well as members of our parish. You can see the trailer at the following web site. You can also check the web site as to when it will be shown in your area. yourhealthasacredmatter.com

Michelle’s surgery went very well. She’s in a splint and will be in a cast for three more weeks. Thanks for all your support and prayers and thanks to the wonderful staff at the Hospital for Special Surgery.

We have learned that the brain is plastic and with repetitive exercises can be trained. Check out this film.

We’re back from Chicago and had a great trip. Turns out PBS is working on a program on religion and medicine, which was the theme of the conference that I attended. Michelle was filmed back at the university and at the scene of her accident. I did a three hour interview with the producers. Maybe you’ll see us on TV but it won’t be for awhile. We all came home exhausted.

Michelle and I are packing our bags and getting ready to go to Chicago next week. I’m presenting a paper at the Inaugural Conference on Medicine and Religion sponsored by the University of Chicago. We hope to get back to the U of C campus for a memory visit. We’re not sure who is still in Chicago but we’ll be at the Westin Hotel on Michigan Ave. if you wish to contact us. Chicago here we come.
