Lo Detrich was born with cystic fibrosis, a chronic disease that causes severe lung infections. But that hasn't stopped this young woman from living a life filled with love, happiness and hope. Health Corner meets Lo and her family, and travels with them as they move to St. Louis where Lo has a life-saving double lung transplant at Barnes Jewish Hospital. In Dr. Lisa's interview, she meets Jack D. Lynch, director of the Gift of Hope Organ and Tissue Donor Network. A revealing conversation that dispels many of the myths people have about giving the gift of life. Leeza Gibbons shares the personal, inspirational story of her own Dad, the primary Care Giver of Leeza's Mom, who has Alzheimer's disease. ChefMD(tm) serves up a delicious, heart-healthy, toasted oatmeal breakfast that's good to eat any time of the day or night. Florida Perry Smith talks about products that work differently on specific parts of the body. And, Jill Repp's advice for keeping kids safe when they surf online. All that, and much more, next week on Health Corner.
