Can't submit my posts through the form, but . . .
I will be posting on my usual semiweekly schedule about research involving music and prematurity. Here's the first post: www.wikyblog.com/CynthiaWunsch/Wednesday,_November_4,_2009.
I hope that this will help someone--it's in a format you can be sure your doctor will take seriously.

Fight For Preemies
http://www.marchofdimes.com/fi…
Every year, 20 million babies are born too soon, too small and very sick ― half a million of them in the United States. November 17 is when we fight.
Do you know a baby that was born too soon, too small, unable to suck, unable to breathe on his own? Premature birth is a health crisis that jeopardizes the lives and health of nearly half-million babies each year. It is the #1 killer of newborns and can lead to lifelong disabilities. Worse: the number has increased 31 percent since 1981. It can happen without warning and for no known reason. Until we have more answers, anyone’s baby, could be born too soon. Medical advances give even the tiniest babies a chance of survival, yet for many babies premature birth is still a life or death condition. It’s the #1 cause of death during the first month of life. And babies who survive face serious health challenges and risk lifelong disabilities. The rate of premature birth has never been higher. In half the cases, we simply don’t understand what went wrong. We need to fight for answers. And, ultimately, preventions. November 17 is dedicated to raising awareness of the crisis of premature birth. The March of Dimes invites bloggers like you to get involved. • Learn about premature birth at marchofdimes.com/fightforpreemies • Put a badge on your blog during November, Prematurity Awareness Month® • On November 17, blog for a baby you love and to help others We need to fight ― because babies shouldn’t have to. .............................................................................

Unfortunately it doesn't. Here's the link address I just tried: www.wikyblog.com/CynthiaWunsch/Saturday,_November_14,_2009 and it says, "Please include a valid URL for your post." Evidently if it's not a wordpress or blogger blog, it doesn't like the format. Oh, well, I have four posts on peer-reviewed clinical research on how music benefits premature infants; I hope someone will take the trouble to read it. Last one on this subject will be tomorrow, and then I'll be off to another cause
