Luxury health care not looking too beautiful
LOS ANGELES — It used to be a high point of Goldy Anthony's life. Every six weeks or so, as a personal morale booster, she and her girlfriends would make appointments to see a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon for facial touch-ups — plumping the lips and smoothing the frown lines on the forehead. He was "an artist," Anthony said, with Botox and Juvederm. Afterward, in a carefree mood, the ladies would dine at a popular restaurant on the Sunset Strip. No more. The subprime loan crisis, the housing slump and the general decline of the economy have claimed another covey of victims. Anthony is in the real estate business, and the cosmetic treatments — at $1,800 or more a pop — can no longer be squeezed into her budget. It's the same with others in the group. "We used to make appointments together," she said.

Every breath counts
New parents are often cautious about germs. Springfield couple Jason and Jincy Hinely have reason to be a bit more cautious than most. When Jace Thomas Hinely was born on June 18, 2007, a relative mentioned he snorted when he breathed. The doctors weren't initially concerned. They said the condition was because of mucus and that it would work itself out. But his parents saw that, while nursing, he kept backing off to catch his breath. The following Sunday afternoon, just one week after his birth, Jace Hinely turned blue. "He was crying and couldn't catch his breath," his mother, Jincy, said. The family rushed him to Effingham Hospital where he was sent by ambulance to Memorial Health's Backus Children's Hospital. Though frightening, the young parents were thankful the event didn't happen at night while their child was sleeping.
