Eden's Heart: Sunday Funday

Sunday Funday

After a weather bound weekend at home, I finally had to kick these three characters out of the house. I knew they'd find a way to have fun.

Later, I hear Eden and Brian talking in the other room. Eden asks, "Why do I have to go to school tomorrow?" and Brian replies, "because it's Monday. You go to school, I go to work,..." Eden interrupts, "...and Mommy goes shopping!"

How many times do I have to explain that gestation is a full-time job? They just don't understand. :)

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.
