9:08 am
it. they win again. the ceo of the company said the responses were emotional and direct and many urged us not to run the ad and we heard that loud and clear. they will fill it with something else. this is the part that is interesting to me. they are the same question who had racy ads and many are degrading to women. will they trade the puppy ad to something that women may find offensive. one of the tweets we got is from someone who said listen, the go daddy objectified women in the past but all of a sudden no one can believe it enough to pull the ad. the puppy ad was offensive enough to be pulled. >> am i the only one who sees this as genius pr. they did a proof of last year's budweiser ad. they are not worried about pushing the boundaries of taste. that's their reputation. we talk about go daddy and they

9:17 am
because the cases are new. >> since august, more than 100 dhrn in children developed sudden weakness because of it. >> we're suspect it's the enterovirus, but we are not sure. we haven't been able to prove what caused paralysis in the children. >> some, but not all were diagnosed in the past six months. enterovirus may be a possible cause, but not the cause of paralysis. >> we tried a number of different treatments throughout the country and nothing has seemed to work for the children. that's frustrating. >> for now, mckenzie can only wiggle her left hand feet, and use facial muscles. >> we wants me to fix it and make it better and i can't. it rips my heart apart every day. i am hoping for a miracle but
9:18 am
for now, this is our reality. >> the center is urging doctors to be vigilant in reporting new cases. here with more on what you need to know, doctor, good morning. what's going on here? we talked about a fm in some of the cases and not all being related to enterovirus. is there a connection? >> that's what they are trying to figure out. we had a rise in this virus. it is not a new virus, but it caused severe respiratory illnesses and this illness that was not new. we have clusters of that and clusters of this and maybe they are related. what's important is even though the kids might be testing positive for the d 68 and the respiratory secretions, they haven't done able to demonstrate
9:19 am
in the spinal fluid and that's what they need to say definitively it's a cause. an example would be polio which is an enterovirus and we can demonstrate the virus so we know it's the causative agent. >> what are are the symptoms? >> by definition it's a pair lytic symptom and experience weakness in a limb. the thing that makes it peculiar is it doesn't follow a pattern that we have seen in other illnesses. some kids like this poor child has it in the neck down and some experience one leg or facial muscle weakness. it can vary. as the segment pointed out we don't have any tried and true therapies. we can't treat it if we don't know what's causing it. we don't know a direct cause or the patient's immune response to the virus that is triggering this inflammation. there a few i had spoth seize
9:20 am
out there. >> anything preventive we have been doing? the answer unfortunately is no. it's probably some virus. we go back to what we say about infection control and that comprises hand washing and sanitizing and not touching your hand to your face, etc. we don't know what causes it so you have a virus and you can't do anything to prevent this. >> some of the patients have shown signs of improvement right? >> some of them have been treated with various therapies we used to treat these acute neurological syndromes and what they think the best intervention is rehab and therapy. everyone is on it. the cdc, i implore you to report it to the cdc. the only way to identify the pathogen and get a treatment is getting this cohort of cases.

(coughing) coughing disrupts everyone's life. that's why there's delsym. delsym's advanced time release formula helps silence coughs for a full 12 hours. all night... or all day. mom usually throws a gogurt in there. well mom's not here today so we're doing things dad's way. which means i get... two. (singing) snack time and lunch. (singing) snack time and lunch. gogurt because lunch needs some fun. in a race, it's about getting to the finish line. in life, it's how you get there that matters most. like when i found out i had a blood clot in my leg. my doctor said that it could travel to my lungs and become an even bigger problem. so he talked to me about xarelto®. >>xarelto® is the first oral prescription blood thinner proven to treat and help prevent dvt and pe that doesn't require regular blood monitoring or
10:37 am
changes to your diet. for a prior dvt i took warfarin, which required routine blood testing and dietary restrictions. not this time. while i was taking xarelto®, i still had to stop racing, but i didn't have to deal with that blood monitoring routine. >>don't stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of dvt and pe, with no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions.
10:38 am
treatment with xarelto® was the right move for me. ask your doctor about xarelto® today. special occasions call for a dip that can't disappoint. so i mixed together a packet of hidden valley ranch, one box of spinach and 16oz of sour cream. and tonight everyone gets a taste of something special ranch spinach dip. hidden valley it!

nice word to start with, with your story. so, explain how it went from being a bridesmaid to suddenly hiring yourself out to other girls who are looking for a bridesmaid? >> sure. i was a bridesmaid so many time for my own friends, i was nicknamed the professional bridesmaid. when i was behind the scenes at weddings, i noticed there was nobody there truly for the bride. there was a gap in the wedding industry and i decided to fill the courage. >> off wedding planner who plans all the other stuff, and then the bride's kind of left to the her your own. you have your maid of honor. >> if you're lucky now have have braids maid and a maid of honor, they're getting themselves ready. they need to be a good friend to you. but let me handle the dirty work the stress, the personal tasks here and there that come up unexpectedly so everyone else can have fun. >> i have to think my wedding, my sister was my maid of honor she had to do things that not everybody would want to do. so do you ever feel sad for the people? thinking they don't have somebody close enough to be
