HI, EVERYONE. LOVELY TO HAVE YOU WITH US. YOU TOO, JEREMY, AS THE NATION BREATHES A SIGH OF RELIEF THAT YOU HAVE NOW CONDUCTED YOUR FINAL SPEED DATE WITH THE NATIONAL LEADERSHIP CANDIDATES. THAT'S RIGHT. STEVEN JOYCE ` HE'S WHAT THE KIDS CALL 'OLD SCHOOL'. HE WAS ALSO REASONABLY GUARDED AND EVASIVE. BUT I KEPT PRODDING AND EVENTUALLY UNCOVERED A SIDE OF STEVE, AS I CALL HIM NOW, RARELY SEEN BEFORE. ALSO TONIGHT ` IT LIGHTS UP YOUR SCREEN, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE DARK CORNERS OF FACEBOOK? WHAT STARTED AS A BIT OF A LAUGH, ENDS WITH AN ALT-LEFT GROUP EVERY BIT AS POWERFUL AS ITS ALT-RIGHT RIVAL. PLUS, MY MAD DASH THROUGH A CYCLONE'S DESTRUCTION TO GET TO MY BABY'S BIRTH. MEET THE CHILDREN TAKING LIFE ONE STEP AT A TIME. I COULDN'T EVEN WALK. I COULDN'T EVEN MOVE ONE LEG AT ALL. AND NOW LOOK AT US WALKING, AND IT'S SO GOOD. AND THE AMERICAN DOCTOR WHO'S HELPED 24 KIWI KIDS FIND THEIR FEET. CAPTIONS BY CHELSEA BRADY AND SHRUTIKA GUNANAYAGAM. CAPTIONS WERE MADE WITH THE SUPPORT OF NZ ON AIR. COPYRIGHT ABLE 2018 JEREMY, COUPLE OF BITS OF BABY NEWS TO WARM THE COCKLES OF YOUR HEART TONIGHT, INCLUDING A VERY SPECIAL TREAT. I'M NOT SURE IF YOU KNOW, BUT I LOVE NATIVE BIRDS, AND I'VE MANAGED TO TRACK DOWN SOME EXCLUSIVE FOOTAGE OF A COUPLE OF RATHER ADORABLE KIWI CHICKS HATCHING. IT TOOK THEM SIX DAYS TO HATCH. SIX DAYS? THEY'RE NOT IN A RUSH, ARE THEY? NOTHING LIKE MORK AND MINDY. OF COURSE, THE BABY KIWI DOES A LOT OF YOLK FEEDING IN THEIR FIRST FEW DAYS. THEY LOVE THE YOLK AND A BIT OF A FORAGE IN THE LEAF LITTER. WE'VE SPED UP THE HATCHING, OBVIOUSLY, BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE SIX DAYS TO PLAY WITH ` IT'S NOT TEST CRICKET ` AND WE'LL PLAY IT TO YOU A LITTLE BIT LATER IN THE SHOW. BUT FIRST, TO THE BIRTH OF A HUMAN BABY. IMAGINE THIS ` YOU'RE IN LABOUR. IMAGINE THIS ` YOU'RE IN LABOUR. THAT LITTLE PACKAGE IS ABOUT TO ARRIVE, AND YOUR PARTNER'S NOT THERE. HE'S BEEN CAUGHT IN A STORM WHICH HAS SHUT THE ONLY ROAD TO THE HOSPITAL ` 130KM AWAY. WELL, IF YOU'RE NICK SCHRYVERS FROM COLLINGWOOD IN GOLDEN BAY, GOOD EVENING. THE STORM MIGHT HAVE BEEN SHORT AND SHARP, BUT IT LEFT A LINGERING MESS` IT ALL HAPPENED QUICKLY. WE SAW THE MUDDY WATER COMING THROUGH THE BACK GATE. THERE'S OBVIOUSLY A BIT OF WORK TO BE DONE ON` THAT'S WHAT HAS CAUSED THIS TORRENT OF WATER THAT OVERFLOWED AND DEBRIS THAT CAME WITH IT. GITA'S HANDIWORK. A WEATHER BOMB BLOWS UP THE LANDSCAPE. FLOODING, ROADS WASHED OUT, WHILE A BABY MAKES AN UNEXPECTED DECISION. HE WAS DEFINITELY ON HIS WAY. SO I CALLED NICK AND SAID, 'I THINK YOU NEED TO GET OVER HERE TODAY.' BEC, PREGNANT, IN NELSON, IS 130 K'S AWAY FROM PARTNER, NICK, WORKING AT HEALTH POST IN COLLINGWOOD. BETWEEN THEM, THE TAKAKA HILL ` AN INFAMOUS ROAD BLOCKED BY A NOTORIOUS STORM. AS SOON AS SHE PUT THE CALL THROUGH, I JUST STARTED PHONING EVERYONE I COULD. AND PUT MESSAGES THROUGH TO ALL THE WATER TAXI GUYS. YEAH, IT WAS LOOKING A LITTLE BIT DIRE. CYCLING ENTHUSIAST NICK HAS A BRIGHT IDEA. MOUNTAIN BIKER. IF I CAN GET AT LEAST TO THE HILL, THEN I'M SURE I CAN GET OVER, AND GET OVER A FEW MUDSLIDES, AND THEN GET PICKED UP AT THE OTHER END. I THOUGHT IT WAS A NICK IDEA. (CHUCKLES) THAT IS WHAT HE WOULD DO, AND HE WOULD'VE MADE IT AS WELL. THEN NICK'S BOSS HAS A SERIOUSLY BRIGHT IDEA. WHY BIKE WHEN YOU CAN FLY? AND SHE SAID, 'LOOK, THERE'S JUST A MAYBE CHANCE 'THAT MAYBE A CHOPPER'S COMING IN, 'AND MAYBE WE'LL PUT SOME PARCELS ON IT, 'AND MAYBE WE CAN PUT YOU ON IT TOO.' I WAS BUSY WITH CONTRACTIONS AND PHONED NICK, AND HE SAID IT MAY BE A POSSIBILITY TO GET A CHOPPER. I'VE JUST HAD A PHONE CALL SAYING SOME THINGS HAVE STARTED TO HAPPEN. SO LUCKY ENOUGH TO JUMP ON THE CHOPPER. WE HAVE LIFTOFF. AND HOVERING OVER THE TAKAKA HILL... I THINK, AS BEC SAID, I HAVE GOOD IDEAS AND NICK IDEAS. AS I WAS FLYING OVER THERE, I DID SEE THE LEVEL OF THE WIDER DESTRUCTION. ARRIVING IN TIME FOR ARTIE, 3.5KG OF PERFECTION. OBVIOUSLY, WITH ANY BABY, IT'S A JOURNEY. AND FOR US, IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE ABSOLUTELY LOVED GOING THROUGH TOGETHER. WHEN IT COMES TO A FATHER'S LOVE, NEITHER HELL NOR HIGH WATER NOR WASHED-OUT ROADS WILL STOP DAD COMING THROUGH. That is a great story. Well done everyone. EVEN IF YOU DON'T FOLLOW POLITICS, CHANCES ARE YOU KNOW STEVEN JOYCE. HE'S GOT THE REPUTATION AS NATIONAL'S MR FIX-IT. HE COULDN'T FIX THINGS LAST TIME, SO HAS HE GOT WHAT IT TAKES TO LEAD THE PARTY TO VICTORY IN 2020? WELL, I SAT DOWN WITH THE LIST MP FOR THE LAST OF MY SPEED DATES AHEAD OF THE BIG CAUCUS VOTE ON THE LEADERSHIP TOMORROW. JEREMY. GIDDAY, STEVEN, HOW ARE YOU? I'M ALL RIGHT. ARE YOU GOOD? NICE TO SEE YOU. GOOD TO SEE YOU. SIT DOWN. SORRY ABOUT THE LOCATION FOR THIS PARTICULAR DATE. IT'S A LITTLE BIT KINDA... IT'S NOT EXACTLY THE AMBIENCE, IS IT? DESCRIBE YOUR IDEAL ROMANTIC EVENING. WELL, OF COURSE, THAT ROMANTIC EVENING WOULD DEFINITELY BE WITH MY WIFE. AND IT WOULD INVOLVE, PROBABLY, A COUPLE GLASSES OF WINE AND A NICE DINNER. WITH ONE UNIT OF WINE? ARE YOU MORE A TWO UNIT OF WINE? ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAYS, YOU CAN SORT OF STRETCH TO TWO, MAYBE EVEN THREE. THREE UNITS? YEAH. (BOTH CHUCKLE) REALLY HANGIN' OUT THERE. OF COURSE, THERE WAS THE INCIDENT IN WAITANGI WITH THE FAKE APPENDAGE. PROJECTILE, AS I LIKE TO CALL IT. YES. THE PROJECTILE APPENDAGE. DID YOU EVER WONDER WHAT HAPPENED TO THE APPENDAGE? I DO. I WANNA KNOW WHAT HAPPENED` DO YOU? I MUST ADMIT, THAT HASN'T OCCUPIED MY MIND. DID IT BECOME, LIKE, AN EXHIBIT? OR DID IT BECOME A`? WELL, I PRESUME THE POLICE TOOK IT AWAY AS AN EXHIBIT, PERHAPS, BUT YOU'D HAVE TO ASK THEM. I THINK THERE WAS SOMEBODY WHO ACTUALLY TRIED TO FOLLOW UP, AND, APPARENTLY, IT MIGHT'VE BEEN DESTROYED AS, YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF CONCERNING, POLICE DESTROYING EVIDENCE LIKE THAT. I WOULD'VE THOUGHT MAYBE THEY'D GIVE IT BACK TO YOU. I MEAN, IT BECAME WORLD-FAMOUS. IT'S GONE NOW. IT'S HAD IT'S MOMENT IN TIME. IT'S GONE TO A BETTER PLACE. IT'S WELL DOCUMENTED I SLEEP IN THE NUDE. I DON'T THINK I'VE SEEN THAT, AND I'M NOT SURE THAT I NEED TO. (CHUCKLES) I PROBABLY WON'T SHOW YOU, BUT I'VE READ THAT IT'S ACTUALLY VERY, VERY HEALTHY. IS IT SOMETHING THAT YOU'D TRY? DUNNO. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS WITH NATIONAL PARTY MPs THAT HAVE GOT THIS FEAR OF SLEEPING IN THE NUDE. WELL, I DON'T THINK I HAVE. I HAVEN'T SAID THAT I HAVE. WELL, YOU SAID YOU DON'T LIKE IT. NO, I DIDN'T SAY THAT. (CHUCKLES) YOU SAID YOU DON'T. NO, I DIDN'T SAY THAT, EITHER. I JUST SIMPLY SAID, 'THAT'S INTERESTING.' SO YOU DO SLEEP IN THE NUDE? YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO... CONJECT ON THAT. IF I IMAGINE YOU GOING TO BED, AND I'M JUST DOING IT NOW,... (LAUGHS) ...I'VE GOT A PAIR OF Y-FRONTS, FOR SOME REASON. JUST A PAIR OF Y-FRONTS WITH A WHITE JOCKEY SINGLET. SORRY. NO? COMPLETELY WRONG. YOU'RE NOT A CLAIRVOYANT, ARE YOU? DAMN IT. WHAT'S YOUR BEST FEATURE? OH, I LIKE TO THINK THAT I'M A REASONABLE, FRIENDLY HUMAN BEING, ACTUALLY, WHO CARES FOR PEOPLE. HAVE YOU LOOKED IN THE MIRROR AND THOUGHT, 'THAT'S A GOOD PART OF ME.' (LAUGHS) I DON'T REALLY DO THAT, ACTUALLY. I LOOK IN THE MIRROR JUST TO CHECK THAT I'M LOOKING OK. I DO THE SAME THING, ACTUALLY. HELEN CLARK OR RUTH RICHARDSON? TRICKY. TOUGH ONE, THAT ONE. WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? SEE, IF IT WAS HAVING A CHAT, PROBABLY RUTH RICHARDSON. IF IT WAS ANYTHING ELSE, PROBABLY HELEN CLARK. AND WHEN I SAY ANYTHING ELSE, HAVING A DRINK OR WHATEVER. (CURIOUS MUSIC) HMM. THE MIND BOGGLES THERE, DOESN'T IT? MM-HM. STEVEN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. IT'S BEEN A LOVELY DATE. VERY GOOD. TAKE CARE. Is that me, or was that uncomfortable? That wasn't comfortable. Ruth Richardson for a chat, Helen Clark for anything else. Those are awkward words. I won't linger on that for too long. But I am interested to know, who would you have a second date with? All of them, actually. They were good conversationalists. They smelt good. Look, I think all of them. I think Steven wasn't open to going out with me. But certainly open-minded about going out with Helen Clark. STILL TO COME ` THAT RARE FOOTAGE OF KIWI HATCHING I WAS TELLING YOU ABOUT, AND HOW WINTON AND CADRE ARE PART OF THE GRAND PLAN TO SECURE THE FUTURE OF OUR NATIONAL BIRD. AND SOCIAL-MEDIA SUPERSTAR KYLIE JENNER SINGLE-HANDEDLY WIPES A BILLION BUCKS OFF SNAPCHAT'S VALUE. WE'LL SHOW YOU HOW SHE DID IT. AND WE MEET THE DOCTOR HELPING KIDS WITH CEREBRAL PALSY TAKE ONE STEP AFTER ANOTHER. Every five years, we all do the census, but don't expect a knock on your door, because... Look out for your access code in your letterbox this week, then use it to... IF YOU'VE EVER QUESTIONED THE POWER OF SOCIAL MEDIA, THEN HAVE A LISTEN TO THIS. KYLIE JENNER ` SHE'S THE YOUNGEST OF THE KARDASHIAN BROOD ` SHE'S GOT ABOUT 25 MILLION FOLLOWERS ON TWITTER, AND SHE TWEETED THIS TO THEM, BAGGING ANOTHER SOCIAL MEDIA APP CALLED SNAPCHAT. HERE'S WHAT SHE SAID. IN THE HOURS THAT FOLLOWED, SNAPCHAT'S VALUE DROPPED $1.3B ` FROM ONE TWEET FROM KYLIE JENNER! IT'S ANOTHER BLOW FOR THE SOCIAL NETWORK, WHICH WAS ALREADY STRUGGLING WITH BAD FEEDBACK AFTER A RECENT SOFTWARE UPDATE. ON THE OTHER HAND, SNAPCHAT'S FIERCE COMPETITOR FACEBOOK IS GOING FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH, GROWING 13 BILLION TO A TOTAL WORTH OF $533B. BUT FACEBOOK HAS ITS OWN DARK SECRET ` IT HARBOURS ANGRY, HATEFUL CORNERS OF THE INTERNET, AND AS TIM WILSON FOUND OUT, YOUR TEENS COULD BE WALKING INTO THEM WITHOUT EVEN REALISING. (CLAMOURING) (BLEEP). (BLEEP). RIOTS ON THE STREETS OF CHARLOTTESVILLE IN THE US LAST YEAR ` (DRAMATIC ROCK MUSIC) (BLEEP). THE POLITICAL LEFT VERSUS ITS RIGHT-WING ENEMIES FIGHTING FOR DOMINANCE. THE KIND OF ANGER, FRUSTRATION AND HATE THAT YOU DON'T SEE IN NEW ZEALAND ` UNLESS YOU'RE ON FACEBOOK AND YOU KNOW WHERE TO GO. IT IS FACEBOOK'S DARK, UGLY SECRET. I DON'T THINK WE ACTUALLY ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS ENOUGH. A DARK UGLY SECRET THAT COULD BE AFFECTING YOUR TEEN EITHER AS AN ATTACKER OR VICTIM. PARENTS SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT THIS, BECAUSE JOINING A MEME GROUP IS SOMETHING THAT ALL TEENAGERS WANT TO DO, HOWEVER THE MEME GROUP THAT THEY COULD BE JOINING COULD BE SOMETHING THAT ACTUALLY ENDS UP DESTROYING THEIR LIFE. THESE MEME PAGES, OR JOKE PAGES, ARE WHAT SOCIAL MEDIA GURU JESS MOLONEY HAS BEEN WATCHING CLOSELY. DURING THE PAST YEAR, SHE'S BEEN CHARTING THE RISE OF WHAT'S CALLED LEFTBOOK, LEFTBOOK MEANING 'POLITICALLY LEFT-WING FACEBOOK'. VERY VOCAL, VERY ACTION-ORIENTATED AND KEEN TO PUT A STOP TO WHAT THEY CONSIDER BEING ANTI THEIR WORLD VIEW. ABOUT A YEAR AGO, A PAGE STARTED UP HERE IN NEW ZEALAND CALLED 'HUMANS OF REMUERA', AND THE CONTENT WAS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT ` ALMOST SLIGHTLY SATIRE. HOWEVER, ABOUT TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE GENERAL ELECTION, A POST WAS PUT UP. IT BECAME SUPER POLITICAL. THAT'S AN OPEN PAGE. MANY OF THE LEFTBOOK GROUPS ARE PRIVATE. ENTRY IS GAINED BY ANSWERING POLITICAL QUESTIONS. THIS IS TO TEST THAT PERSON WHO'S JOINING THE PAGE. MOST OF LEFTBOOK IS LIGHT-HEARTED BUT NOT ALL OF IT. 10% OF IT, HOWEVER, CAN GET REALLY PERSONAL ` VERY MUCH SORT OF POINTING THE FINGERS AT INDIVIDUALS AND THAT'S WHERE THE DANGERS COME IN. YOU SEE, LEFTBOOK HAS VICTIMS, AND THOUGH THE JOKES ARE DIGITAL, THE HARM CAN BE REAL. REPUTATIONS ARE DESTROYED. SOMETHING IS SHARED INTO THE GROUP, AND THEN THAT PERSON, THEIR PARENTS GET CONTACTED; THEIR SCHOOL GETS CONTACTED. THEY'RE GET HARASSED OUT OF EXISTENCE. THEY ARE. THEY ARE HARASSED OUT OF EXISTENCE. WANTING TO SEE INSIDE LEFTBOOK, I MAKE A FAKE FACEBOOK PROFILE, ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS AND... SO WE'RE NOW ABOUT TO ENTER LEFTBOOK. IT'S NOT HARD TO FIND WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. I'VE COME ON A POST ALLEGING CHILD MOLESTATION ` A VERY SERIOUS ALLEGATION BUT NOT ONE MADE ANYWHERE EXCEPT FOR THE COURT OF LEFTBOOK, AND THIS IS HOW THAT HARASSMENT THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BEFORE CAN BEGIN. FACEBOOK GAVE US A STATEMENT ABOUT THE ISSUE OF LEFTBOOK. IN THE MEANTIME, KIWI PARENTS NEED TO BE WATCHFUL AND CAREFUL. FOR ME, IT'S ABOUT THAT EDUCATION MOMENT WITH YOUR KIDS AND ACTUALLY TELLING THEM HOW TO MANAGE YOUR REPUTATION ONLINE, HOW TO BE SAFE, BEIN' AWARE OF THINGS LIKE PRIVACY AND THINKING BEFORE YOU WRITE ANYTHING DOWN. BECAUSE IF YOU THINK FACEBOOK'S A KIND OF FRIEND, YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW YOUR FRIENDS. Some secret groups can be quite beneficial. I think though. Because they operate as support groups. And there are people who are able to share with others who are a part of that secret support group, and they get a lot from it. But this just sounds nasty. You have teenage kids. Are they on Facebook? We are pretty staunch. We have said no Facebook until you are 16. I am not a parenting guru. With this new technology, we don't know how it's all going to pan out. But I would encourage people to wait as long as they can. Because kids at nine or 10 years old. Try to get Facebook. And it is hard to control what they are seeing. Lots of kids are on Facebook. It is a tough one. As the experts say, talk to your kids. COMING UP ` WE SHARE SOME GORGEOUS FOOTAGE OF TWO KIWI CHICKS HATCHING. WE'LL REVEAL WHERE CADRE HAS GONE AND WHY WINTON HASN'T BEEN RELEASED YET. AND WE MEET A DOCTOR OFFERING MORE FREEDOM FOR KIDS WHO FIND IT DIFFICULT TO WALK. WELCOME BACK. WE GOT SENT SOME PRETTY SPECIAL FOOTAGE THIS AFTERNOON OF TWO KIWI CHICKS ENTERING THE WORLD. FIRST, MEET BABY KIWI CADRE. SHE TOOK SIX DAYS TO HATCH; NEARLY 4 MONTHS OLD NOW, AND SHE'S BEEN RELEASED TO A PREDATOR-CONTROLLED AREA IN TONGARIRO FOREST TO REPRODUCE. AND THIS IS WINTON. SHE ALSO TOOK SIX LONG DAYS TO EMERGE. AT NEARLY 4 MONTHS OLD, SHE'S YET TO REACH HER STOAT-SPARRING WEIGHT OF 1KG. ONCE SHE DOES, SHE'LL BE RELEASED BACK TO MAUNGATANIWHA IN NORTHERN HAWKE'S BAY. THE FOOTAGE COMES COURTESY OF ROTORUA'S KIWI ENCOUNTER, THE LARGEST HATCHING FACILITY IN NEW ZEALAND. AROUND 20 KIWI ARE KILLED EVERY WEEK BY PREDATORS IN THE BUSH, You played Benny Hill music. I did. He was a comedian of his time. AROUND 20 KIWI ARE KILLED EVERY WEEK BY PREDATORS IN THE BUSH, WHICH IS WHY THIS HATCHING WORK IS SO CRUCIAL FOR OUR NATIONAL BIRD. Those predators are stoats, ferrets, weasels. Wwe do a bit of trapping. I find it hard to tell the difference between a weasel and a stoat. I can tell a ferret. A weasel is smaller. A stoat is bigger. Are you keeping the pelts? The kids were quite keen, but that's a bit gross. NOW TO A RATHER SPECIAL STORY ABOUT CHILDREN WITH SPASTIC CEREBRAL PALSY. IT'S A DEBILITATING CONDITION, AND AN INCREASING NUMBER OF PARENTS ARE LOOKING OVERSEAS FOR SURGERY THAT ISN'T AVAILABLE HERE, AND THEY RECKON THEY'VE FOUND THE ANSWER IN MICHAEL HOLLAND WITH THE STORY. KEALA SETTLE: # THIS IS ME. # OH, OH, OH, OH. THIS IS THEM, AND THIS IS THE FEELING OF BEING FREE. WE CAN DO THIS, GUYS; WE'RE NEARLY THERE. (KEALA SETTLE'S 'THIS IS ME') DO NOT GIVE UP. I REPEAT, DO NOT GIVE UP. # THIS IS ME. (GIRLS LAUGH) THESE 'FALL DOWN GET STRAIGHT BACK UP AGAIN' YOUNGSTERS ARE ALL LIVING WITH CEREBRAL PALSY AND ALL REVELLING IN VASTLY IMPROVED MOVEMENT AFTER SURGERY IN THE UNITED STATES. I COULDN'T EVEN WALK; I COULDN'T EVEN MOVE ONE LEG AT ALL, AND NOW LOOK AT US WALKING. AND IT'S SO GOOD. KEEP GOING, HONEY. YOU CAN DO THIS. IT'S REALLY, REALLY GOOD FOR ME. I CAN KEEP UP WITH MY FRIENDS. KALI (7) IS THE FIRST OF MORE THAN 20 NEW ZEALAND CHILDREN TO HAVE BEEN OPERATED ON BY PAEDIATRIC NEUROSURGEON DR T S PARK IN ST LOUIS. THIS ISN'T MIRACULOUS ` FEELS LIKE IT, BUT IT'S A DOCTOR DOING HIS JOB. I'M NOT ALL TANGLED UP ANY MORE. (CHUCKLES GENTLY) AND EVERY DAY YOU ARE GETTING STRONGER. YEAH, PRETTY MUCH. THAT PROGRESS IS CLEAR TO SEE FROM THE PARK TO THE PARQUET ON THE DOCTOR'S FIRST VISIT HERE TO CATCH UP WITH HIS NEW ZEALAND PATIENTS. (HAPPY MUSIC) IF THEY CAN WALK INDEPENDENTLY AFTER THE SURGERY, THE VAST MAJORITY OF THEM MAINTAIN THAT INDEPENDENT WALKING. WELL DONE, GUYS. YOU DID REALLY WELL, AND I'M SO PROUD OF YOU. YEAH, 10 OUT OF 10. (CHUCKLING) DR PARK PERFORMS DELICATE SURGERY ON THE SPINE, SEVERING SENSORY NERVES THAT ARE OVERSTIMULATED, CAUSING MUSCLES AND TENDONS TO CONSTRICT AND TIGHTEN, KNOWN AS SPASTICITY. THIS IS THE ONLY SURGERY THAT CAN ELIMINATE AND REMOVE THE SPASTICITY PERMANENTLY. IF THEY DID NOT HAVE THE SURGERY, SOME OF THEM WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A WHEELCHAIR BY THIS TIME. WOULD BE IN A WHEELCHAIR. YEAH. HE'S CHANGED HER LIFE. YOU GET RID OF THAT OVERSTIMULATION; EVERYTHING CAN RELAX, AND YOU CAN CONCENTRATE ON GROWING MUSCLES AND WALKING RATHER THAN BEING CONSTANTLY IN PAIN AND TWISTED AND TENSE. ABSOLUTELY A NO-BRAINER ` PROGNOSIS WAS THAT SHE WOULD LIVE LIFE IN A WHEELCHAIR. BUT AS ALWAYS, WITH PROCEDURES NOT AVAILABLE OR ACCEPTED BY SOME MEMBERS OF THE MEDICAL ESTABLISHMENT HERE, THE SURGERY COMES WITH A HEFTY PRICE TAG ` UP TO $120,000. (HAPPY MUSIC CONTINUES) SINGLE MUM KRISTEN IS IN THE MIDDLE OF FUNDRAISING FOR OCEAN (3). FOR MY CHILD TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A CHILDHOOD ` WALK, DANCE ` IT'S EXCITING. WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THE MEDICAL ESTABLISHMENT HERE THAT MAY STILL HAVE DOUBTS? THE MEDICAL EVIDENCE FOR SURGERY IS VERY STRONG. THE IMPROVEMENTS AND THE BENEFITS ARE SUSTAINED. GETTING ON WITH LIFE. JUST WHAT EVERY MUM WANTS. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. NORMAL, LIKE THE OTHER PEOPLE. NORMAL. AND HOW SWEET IS THAT? VERY COOL. I THINK YOUR FRIENDS ARE PRETTY SPECIAL. SPECIAL TO ME AND YOU. WE DID REAL GOOD. KEALA SETTLE: # THIS IS ME. (GIGGLES) You did do real good. What an amazing difference. Either in the wheelchair or walking freely like that. THOSE WERE OUR PEOPLE TODAY; THAT WAS SEVEN SHARP TONIGHT. WE'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW. CHEERIO.
