Back in the High Life Again

Last weekend we spent a few days at our friends' family place in Winter Park. I am continually amazed at our new found appreciation for vacation. It is no secret that we love the mountains and an added bonus to see Eden's enjoyment as well.

I have also noticed that the ratio of Eden's smiles and my picture taking are correlated. Hence, the multitude of shots below. I actually had to erase a few of Brian and Eden waving their hands for me to put the camera away! Here we are snowshoeing on a beautiful sunny morning. The pictures speak for themselves.

The best part, for me, was watching Chaco. He was in HEAVEN. I think he looked up at me more than once and said, "Now these are the parents I remember!"

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.
