we're back with more of "today" monday morning, 23rd of july, 2012. we're also back in london's olympic park. in one square mile a lot packed here. olympic stadium, swimming venue, observation tower, the basketball theater, velodrome, bmx location. there's a lot to do and see. we're going to be showing you around over the next few weeks. i'm matt lawyer. savannah guthrie and al roker

will be jumping on a plane and joining me. have you been pouring over your olympic handy dandy fact book. >> look at you. have you highlighted, like the kid in school, the top of the class. >> his name on it. very nice. >> mr. roker, since you say you've been going over this. what country in the history of the summer olympics has won more medals than any other country? >> let's confer. >> britain. >> that would be the united states, al. >> yes! yes, i knew that. i meant united kingdom. >> gold medals in every sport in the summer olympics except three, savannah. which sports have we failed to win a gold medal in. >> oh, my gosh. horse jumping, table tennis, basket weaving.

>> table tennis is one, bad minton and team handball. you two have some work to do between now and wednesday. >> yes, we do. we're going to get on a plane together, get a lovely cocktail and read the book together and ready to go on wednesday. >> at least two or three. >> all right, guys. what do you have back on your end? >> coming up, we'll take a serious turn and talk about the aftermath of the shooting in aurora, colorado, of course. this is the day where the suspect has his first court appearance. the community, of course, is mourning and trying to understand how this could have happened. we will have the latest on the situation there. >> that's right. also ahead one family that endured some amazing medical challenges. they had a very scary experience a few years ago when their oldest child had to have a heart transplant. that was successful. now they are pulling together again for all four of their children who all have heart

problems. we're going to hear their touching story in a little bit. >> also ahead, kind of a new trend in child care, the manny. the male nanny. it's a little unorthodox but we'll talk to guys doing it and talk about why parents are getting into the idea of a male nanny. first we'll check in with natalie morales with a check of the top headlines. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, savannah, al, everyone. the initial hearing for the gunman accused of carrying out friday's mass movie shooting in colorado. it could take months to learn his motive for the attack as he is not cooperating with their investigation. the possible clue could be a batman mask police found in holmes apartment according to associated press. over the weekend the devastated community of aurora came together in prayer to remember the victims of the massacre. president obama arrived in aurora on sunday comforting the families in mourning and visiting the wounded who remained hospitalized.

while he was in aurora, the president shared a touching story of survival and bravery. >> there's one particular story i wanted to tell. i had a chance to visit with allie young. allie is 19 years old. i also had a chance to visit with allie's best friend stephanie davis, who is 21. when the gunman initially came in and threw the canisters, he threw them only a few feet away from allie and stephanie, who were sitting there and watching the film. allie stood up, and she was immediately shot. she was shot in the neck, and it punctured a vein. and immediately she started spurting blood. and apparently as she dropped down on the floor, stephanie, 21 years old, had the presence of mind to drop down on the ground with her, pull her out of the aisle, place her fingers over where allie had been wounded and

apply pressure the entire time while the gunman was still shooting. allie told stephanie she needed to run. stephanie refused to go. instead actually with her other hand called 911 on her cell phone. because of stephanie's timely actions, i just had a conversation with allie downstairs, and she is going to be fine. >> again, the president with an amazing story of survival. out of respect for the shooting victims, major movie studios did not release their weekend box office numbers but the hollywood reporter estimates "the dark knight rises" playing during the shooting grossed the best three-day opening ever with a 2d film. with the defamed statue of joe paterno gone they face ncaa.

of strong storms to minneapolis, vermont, as far south as parts of west virginia. you can see rainfall amounts starting to fire up later today. >> good morning.da there is some drizzle in some neighborhoods. expect a mixture of sun and clouds. it wil >> that's your latest weather. savannah. >> all right, al. thanks. now to one courageous family who thought their medical ordeal was over after their daughter had a heart transplant. that was the beginning of a medical journey all five of the children are enduring today.

>> reporter: if he wanted to make a poster of the ideal american family, you couldn't find much better than the bingh binghams. five beautiful children, two devoted parents, jason and stacy. then one day six years ago the eldest sierra came down with what seemed like a stubborn flu. >> that's when things really started to change. >> reporter: it wasn't flu at all. something far worse than that. >> by 3:00 that morning, she had been put on a ventilator. >> reporter: sierra had the disease called cardiomyopathy, deadly said her doctor in palo alto, california. >> what it means is the heart muscle enlarge and becomes thinner and doesn't have as much force when it contracts. >> reporter: without a new heart, dr. rosenthal told the binghams sierra would die soon. >> it was horrible.

when we say it was a nightmare, it was the worst time of our life. >> reporter: then it was the very nick of time, a donor heart became available. the operation a success. >> she's done beautifully every since. >> reporter: a happy ending apparently, best left to memory. you figured you were past this. >> we did it. >> everybody needs their big challenge, we were done. >> reporter: they got themselves tested all of them. no signs of any further heart disease. so they went on with their lives. then one day a couple months ago the middle child, 8-year-old lindsey began complaining of a sympt stomachache. >> we were sitting there reading. >> please, have a normal chest x-ray. >> reporter: it was not normal. >> an enlarged heart. >> i lost it. i couldn't keep my composure. i remember sobbing. >> reporter: so now lindsey came

here to the packard children's hospital with a rapidly failing heart. then as the whole family gathered around here, the little one gage, just three years old. >> no, i couldn't believe it. this is ridiculous. >> reporter: it was a heart block, a dangerous electrical problem. >> at one point, in fact, lindsey and gage were in adjacent icu beds with their parents moving back and forth between the two rooms. it felt as if everything was coming down at once. >> reporter: surgeons implanted a pacemaker. he's okay now running around like three years old. but the binghams no longer have illusions. they got the news unvarnished. >> it was on friday. we sat down and were told that of our five children, all of them either had cardiomyopathy or flaggers or symptoms they

watch that can turn into cardiomyopathy. >> reporter: a situation which in all medical literature seems to be elite. >> i was a little staggered by this frankly. >> reporter: here in the icu they hover around lindsey who struggles to stay strong enough for a transplant, whenever that might come. they climb on her bed, admire the machine keeping her alive for now, the berlin heart pump. they compare their scars. you're all going to get matching scars. >> i'll get another one. >> lindsay asked sierra about dealing with issues no child should face. >> i was really scared. i asked sierra what it was like to have a heart. >> what did she tell you? >> she told me it was kind of scary at first, but then you're fine and you come out and wake

up. >> reporter: they are proud people, the binghams. they are telling their story, they said, to thank everyone who has or will help them, because these are people who depend now for their lives on the ultimate gift from someone else. >> i pray for that family out there, that they are able to enjoy and cherish these last days, weeks or months with their child. someone out there in the western united states with a child that's going to save her life. >> reporter: keith morrison, nbc news, palo alto, california. >> if you would like more information about the bingham family and how you can help them, visit today.com. we'll be back with much more of "today" right after this.

are women. what if it were a man applying? an article reveals male caregivers or mannies are in demand. director of parenting magazine and two men who work as mannies. tell me why you explored this. >> before i started the job at "parenting" magazine, my wife and i hired a great manny, me. for about a month i took care of my boys. i was always interested when i was out with them, people would ask, how is the baby-sitting going. i thought that was interesting me taking care of my kids would be me being a babysitter. that was in the back of my head. i wonder what this means for men who do babysit or take care of kids. i dug in, talked to child care agency and other venues and found over the last few years they had seen a spike in male

applicants. >> why? what were the reason behind the demand? >> it seems that the job market had a fair amount to do with it. guys who might traditionally have a job in education or coaching, like working with kids, might have trouble finding work. they look at it as another option. the spike in the manny population dove tails with what we call the man session from 2007 to 2009, about 70% or more of jobs lost were lost to guys. so it seemed like this became a new option for people who might not be having such luck in the regular job market and looking for something to do. >> i imagine a lot of single moms with boys wanting to have that male roll model. >> from people i spoke to the biggest population of people interested were parents with boys and wanted a male role model in the household and high executive single women, again, with boys who were looking for that male role model.

>> dan and juan you're perfect representation. let me start with you, you work for a single mother taking care of two boys 12 and 14 years old. why did you want to become a manny? >> i come from a foreign background. my mother was with kids, my sister as well. every since i was young i took care of nephews, family members. it just became something -- i didn't know i could make a career, you know, fork for it until recently i decided to do it and it became -- it was great. >> a profession. dan, you work for a married couple, take care of their two boys, ages 4 and 10. what is a typical day like for you? >> it varies depending on the season. right now it's summer so just largely a lot of i pick them up from summer camp. their mom calls it glorified schlepping. >> we know what's that like. >> they have two separate camps in two parts of the city. i have to pick them up, bring

them together, get them home and get them prepared for mom and dad to come back home. if they have any chores that need to be done, if i need to start making dinner. we got caught in the storm last thursday. we had to take care of that when we came home. things like that. >> sounds like you do it all, both do it all, which is great. what are benefits of a manny versus a female nanny. >> first of all, from my family, i'm really good. that's the main benefit to them. it depends on what the family needs. in my case, for instance, as i was getting ready forth segment, the mom told me that one of the reasons i was hired is because these kids had so many female caregiver in their lives, their teachers, in preschool, all the staff, they were female. they felt like balancing things out with a male would really help. so especially since they are both boys. so that was the biggest. >> i imagine a lot of families

happy with their nancy echo sentiments but also stereotypes. is it hard for men to break into this career? >> absolutely. if you're a family looking for a nanny and a 50-year-old woman applies for the job, you're not going to think anything about it. if a 50-year-old man applies for the job, not only are you not hiring them, you're probably calling the police. it raises a red flag. the way we're trained to think about, like guys are unnatural to take care of kids. there is stereotyping and assumptions we definitely have to get over. >> you guys are great examples. we definitely have to look past that. thanks for being here. >> thank you very much. coming up as the olympics get closer, we are taking a cue from london, we're putting brush flair into men's style. but first these messages. ♪
