Still Waters Posted July 17, 2011 #1 Share Posted July 17, 2011 In the fairy tale, Sleeping Beauty is a princess sent into a 100-year slumber by an evil witch.

Robert1 Posted July 17, 2011 #4 Share Posted July 17, 2011 That's a strange disease. It's good to know that the treatments are working. I hope she grows out of it. It would be a pity if she had to waste her life on account of this disease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
