{Good News} Teen Dances to a New Beat

A Maryland teen has become one of the greatest advocates for the importance of organ donation after receiving a life-saving heart transplant.

15-year-old Amari Hall underwent the successful surgery and just six days later was cleared to go home. And there was absolutely no question about whether he was physically ready to be released because he showed off some dance moves in his bed while his mother laughed and celebrated.

Juaquinna Hall says, “All his life he has been a fighter. He remained positive throughout it all.”

Amari was born with a congenital heart defect and had undergone several surgeries. Two years ago doctors determined he would need a heart transplant to save his life.

After three months in the hospital and a heart transplant, Hall is now home and doctors believe he’ll be able to go back to school in the fall. (ABC News)

Dangerous Heat Today!

Today temperatures will reach 95 degrees but feel more like 103!  These temperatures are dangerous for everyone, especially the elderly, young children, and your pets.

Seeing pets locked inside vehicles on days like this makes my blood boil!  What are some people thinking?

Hundreds of pets die every year from heat exhaustion because they are left in parked vehicles. Even on a 70-degree day, it can get up tp 104 degrees inside your car!.  Authorities encourage everyone to leave their pets at home where they will be safe on hot days like today.

Scary Details on Sandra Bullock’s Stalker!

Generated by IJG JPEG Library

Sandra Bullock has applied for a new restraining order against a stalker with fantasies to “sexually assault” her.

Police discovered a disturbing diary by Joshua Corbett, who repeatedly wrote about “lurid and sexual acts” with Bullock. He carried the journal three years ago when he invaded her home. He reached her bedroom and pounded on the locked door.

Corbett also owns a stash of illegal weapons. Her attorneys described them as having “extremely high killing capacities and the potential for mass destruction.” Corbett is under probation for the military-grade firearms.

Because the courts didn’t put him behind bars, Sandra felt it necessary to get a restraining order. Though Corbett will receive in-patient treatment at a mental health facility. (The Wrap)
