Mrs Brown and Jimmy, her 16-year-old son, and Julie, her four-year-old daughter, will be going to stay with him for two weeks in December. Jimmy has severe acne, and has just started a course of Roaccutane^®. He is looking forward to scuba diving while there. Mrs Brown is on Cymbalta^® for her depression.
