CLOUDS HANG AROUND

For the most part, our weekend looks good. But we will notice a persistent field of clouds on Saturday and - possibly - one or two strap showers. The cold front that went through us yesterday has delivered a nice cool-down today but it will stall out across Florida over the weekend. It looks like Saturday will be cloudier day and Sunday should feature more sunshine than clouds. Temperatures dropped well into the 40's last night and it won't be that chilly tonight. My forecast low is in the 50's to start the day on Saturday. I wouldn't advise cancelling any outdoor plans this weekend based on the chance for a few showers…. any activity that develops shouldn't last too long.

RAVAYNA COE WAS THE KIND OF BRIDE THAT PRIDED HERSELF ON THE DETAILS.

Snaps of all of her wedding prettiness

RAVAYNA In general, I'm just a bit of a perfectionist

WHICH MADE WHAT HAPPENED THREE DAYS BEFORE HER WEDDING LAST OCTOBER JUST

a little bit MORE CHALLENGING

AMY ROBACH You arrive in New Orleans, you get to the hotel, what do you see?

RAVAYNA there's no lawn. And there are-

DAVID It was a mud pit.

RAVAYNA-no bushes. And then they told us that they would be happy to put

down a green carpet.

THE KITCHEN? CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS.

RAVAYNA the flowers came in from the floral company and about a third of

them

were totally dead.it was not a good day.

AND THIS IS WHERE THE WEDDING GOES FROM BAD TO WORSETO DOWNRIGHT SURREAL.

DAVID'S THREE PIECE SUIT ARRIVED THREESIZES TOO BIG.

THEN, THE NIGHT BEFORE HER BIG DAY, RAVAYNA CLOCKED HER HEAD ON A DOOR.

WHEN SHE WOKE ON HER WEDDING DAY IT WAS CLEAR, BEAUTIFULAND STEAMING HOT.

RAVAYNA I wore a gown that was a lot of gown, you know

WHICH LOOKED STUNNINGUNTIL THEY STARTED TAKING PHOTOS.

RAVAYNA by the third one, I'm like, "David, I'm gonna pass out, And then

they unzipped my

dress and put icepacks down my back and on my neck. So it's, like, fifteen

minutes before my wedding,

and I'm sitting in the front hall, like, trying not to faint.

DIANNE VALENTINE, CELEB WEDDING PLANNER AND HOST OF WE TV'S I DO OVER, HAS

day. It's an absolute don't,

is about love.

BUT NOW THAT WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BAD FLU SEASON -- DOCTORS SAY THESE BABIES HAVE PROTECTION FOR THE FIRST 6 MONTHS OF LIFE -- IF THEIR MOTHERS GOT THE VACCINE WHILE PREGNANT.

"I got it before the flu season started, when I was a little shy of 7 months."

"The antibodies cross the placenta, and then if she breast feeds, uh, she's giving more antibodies in the breastmilk.

DR. EDWARD MCCABE OF THE MARCH OF DIMES POINTS TO A RECENT STUDY OF MORE THAN 117-THOUSAND PREGNANCIES IN NORWAY. IT CONCLUDED THE FLU SHOT IS SAFE FOR PREGNANT WOMEN AND THEIR BABIES -- WITHOUT ANY BAD SIDE EFFECTS.

PREGNANT WOMEN WHO GOT THE FLU WERE MORE LIKELY TO MISCARRY. THAT RISK WAS SLIGHTLY DECREASED IF THEY'D BEEN VACCINATED, BUT STILL GOT A MILDER OR DIFFERENT STRAIN OF THE FLU.

"This serious business. It's important for moms to get their flu shots."

THE FLU ALSO TENDS TO HIT THE OLDEST MEMBERS OF SOCIETY HARD.

WHILE NOT EXCLUSIVE TO CHILDREN, IT IS MOST COMMON IN THE YOUNG, WHO ARE FORCED TO LIVE LIFE DEPENDENT ON INSULIN.

HEALTH MATTERS-PKG

HEALTH PROFESSIONALS AVOID CALLING IT JUVENILE DIABETES, BUT TYPE 1 DIABETES USED TO GO BY THAT NAME. BECAUSE IT'S MOST LIKELY TO OCCUR IN THE YOUNG.

DR. CAYCE JEHAIMIE/PEDIATRIC ENDOCRINOLOGIST

RUNS:

1:40 Type 1 diabetes is usually a diabetes of childhood onset. The majority of type 1 diabetics are below age 20.

THE DISEASE FOLLOWS TWO CLASSIC TIMELINES: IT'S COMMONLY DIAGNOSED EITHER BETWEEN AGES FIVE AND SEVEN. OR DURING ADOLESCENCE. UNLIKE TYPE 2, IT'S NOT LINKED TO LIFESTYLE OR EATING HABITS.

DR. CAYCE JEHAIMIE/PEDIATRIC ENDOCRINOLOGIST

RUNS:

7:49 One of the biggest myths is that sugar, eating sweets can cause Type 1 diabetes. That is not true. Type 1 diabetes is an immune-based disease. It's where the body does not recognize the pancreatic cells as being part of the body.

AMY OSHIER/REPORTING

RUNS:

A child with diabetes will face additional obstacles in life. Because their pancreas doesn't work at all, they have to monitor their blood sugar and take insulin. But it shouldn't put them on the sidelines of life.

DR. CAYCE JEHAIMIE/PEDIATRIC ENDOCRINOLOGIST

RUNS:

13:32 We try to preserve as much as possible of all the things they should cherish and love about about being a youth or a teenager or a toddler, preschool child. We can adjust insulin according to the activity level of the child. And ultimately, the goal is they will have a pancreas made artificially that can work very close to what the normal pancreas was doing.

KIDS DO WELL WITH NEW TECHNOLOGY AND BENEFIT FROM BEING OPEN AND HONEST.

DR. CAYCE JEHAIMIE/PEDIATRIC ENDOCRINOLOGIST

RUNS:

11:33 We try to encourage the children to to feel like it's okay that I have diabetes. It's okay to say I'm taking medicine called insulin. This device is called an insulin pump.
