Eden's Heart: The Parade of Lights

The Parade of Lights

Last weekend we were able to attend one of Denver's popular Christmas celebrations with Brian's sister, Erin, her friend Heather, and the Bogan family (Travis, Stacy, Colton and Riley). We actually enjoyed the company much more than the parade. As you can see from the pictures we didn't have the best view. Eden bounced around on our shoulders, danced and played with Colton, and used lots of her new phrases like... "wow, that's amazing!"

'Cheers' to a great night!

What is Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy?

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, is one of the four main types of cardiomyopathy. Characterized by the abnormal growth of muscle fibers on the heart muscle, HCM often results in a thickened septum and/or left and right ventricle. The thickening of the muscle can result in a resistance of blood flow both in and out of the heart’s chambers. When this occurs, the heart must work harder to pump blood throughout the body.

While perceived to be somewhat rare, HCM affects an estimated one in 500 people. It is the number one reason for heart transplants and the most common cause of sudden cardiac death in people under age 30. HCM may be best known for its role in cardiac arrest and subsequent death in some young professional athletes. The cause of HCM is largely unknown, however current research suggests it is genetic in origin.
