Eden's Heart: Twin Cousins

Twin Cousins

I never had a sister to look like, dress like, or strive to be like.... but luckily I grew up with the greatest cousin ever (and we kinda look alike - extra bonus). Since Eden doesn't have any siblings either, I am so happy that she has so many wonderful cousins. They are all special to her, of course, but Campbell has found a little place in Eden's heart. I am sure it has something to do with the fact that she is older by an influential amount of months. It is just the right amount of months (15) to equal sainthood... Eden worships the ground she walks on. I remember that feeling so well. I actually preferred clothes that said "Kate" rather than "Kera"! So, I am not sure if these two girls are dressed alike to satisfy me or them... but aren't they adorable??

Celebrating a great day!

Thanks for meeting me at the ranch, Campbell.

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.
