The generosity of Eli Lilly

I was reading through the news just recently, and it turns out that Eli Lilly (the really big drug company headquartered here in Indy) is donating $4 million to fight tuberculosis. (TB) Tuberculosis has adapted itself and is now resistant against the drugs previously used to treat it. Not good. So Eli Lilly is donating the money to help train workers to be able to diagnose and treat the virus in Russia. I'm sure they're happy. Actually, we have to get tested every year for TB since we're a fosterfamily, and a few years ago, my mom's test turned out to be TB positive! She was a little freaked out. (Okay, maybe more than a little, right mom? :) Luckily, it turned out to be a strain that was nonactive and not contagious. (I think) The upside to this is that my mom doesn't have to get tested for it anymore, since we know that she already has it. So last year, while Claire, Olivia, and I are sitting in the doctor's office with a bubble of skin on our arms, (the shot makes your skin swell up and a little bubble of air appears under it, its weird) my mom's sitting there smirking. Yeah, real funny mom, if looks could kill...(Olivia was giving her the evil eye) It doesn't hurt that bad though. And my mom's already had more shots than anyone should have to. (They have to poke her a lot to find a vein for an IV, ouch...) Let's just hope that none of us ever get an active strain of it, then we'd be in trouble! :D
