Is There a (Tree) Doctor in the House?
From Rebecca McDermott: REPLY
We have a beautiful Gumbo Limbo tree in our front yard that was attacked by white flies. We had it treated but it may have been too late as most of the tree appears to have died. Since the tree still has two small, green blooms on it, I am hoping to find someone who can come to our home to examine it and tell us what to do to save it. If you have a recommendation for a great tree doctor, please contact me. Thank you!

The Write ApproachFrom Melissa Sullivan: REPLY Has anyone had experience with Irene Long's Summer Reading and Writing Camp in Juno? I am considering sending a few elementary-age boys there this summer. I want to provide them with an experience that will keep them excited about learning and help them to address the issues that intimidate them about writing. If you have any feedback about this camp, please contact me. Thank you!

On the RocksMy four-year-old suffers from a very stubborn form of eczema and my seven-year-old has asthma. I am considering taking them to The Salt Suite in Delray for salt therapy which I hear is an effective, natural way of treating these conditions.

Although Earth Day does not officially take place until April 22, Palm Beach is already celebrating. Grab a blanket and a picnic basket and listen to the Lorax "speak for the trees" at the Waterfront's Screen on the Green this Friday. And on Saturday, the Okeeheelee Nature Center will be celebrating Earth Day with a free live animal presentation and bird walk. Happy weekend, JABBERS!

Eyes on LASIK
I am researching to find out whether my daughter is a candidate for LASIK eye surgery. She has severe astigmatism so I'm not sure if she would qualify for this surgery or another type of non-invasive correction. Has anyone had LASIK surgery that corrected their astigmatism? If you had a positive experience with a doctor, I'd love to hear about it. Thanks for any suggestions or advice!
