Your response to our "Trading Places" series has been extraordinary. More than 5,400 of you have sent in letters or photographs telling your own very personal stories. Others have offered advice gleaned from their own experiences caring for an aging parent.
Some of the letters are quite tender -- others have been angry. Some have been very funny -- and many, many have been heartbreaking. More than one letter has prompted many of us to pick up the phone and check in with our own parents -- those of us lucky enough to still have them around.

Link to thisThis week we'll be bringing you stories from our continuing "What Works" series; reports which spotlight ideas or innovations that are solving various problems in communities across the country. Good news! And better news; these solutions are often adaptable (if it works in Keokuk, Iowa, it could work in Katonah, N.Y.... you get the idea). Tonight's story offers a solution to a problem we've reported on in the past and which just seems to keep getting worse: the long, looooong waiting time in hospital emergency rooms. You're sick or injured, you need a doctor, but so do the other 75 sick or injured people there with you. People who study this kind of thing say the average length of time someone waits to see a doctor in the ER is more than three hours! And try that with a cranky infant or a squirming toddler. Tonight, correspondent Tom Costello and producer Jay Blackman report on "What Works" to reduce waiting time in the emergency room. Maybe it could work in your community?
