Child Has Never Fallen Asleep 3-year-old Rhett Lamb of St. Petersburg, Florida doesn't sleep. He never has. Rhett has a rare medical condition called chari malformation, in which the brain tissue protrudes into the spinal column. His parents sleep in shifts in order to keep an eye on him. Rhett's father quit his job to provide care, and his mother is working extra to help with the family's huge medical bills. Rhett underwent experimental surgery last week that may help his condition. Close Encounters of the Elephant Kind Swiss tourists Rico Beltrame and his sister Angela were visiting the Hluhluwe Umfolozi nature reserve in South Africa when an elephant assaulted their rented Volkswagen.
