Memorial Day Make-Up

WOW! We are so far behind... Looking back through the pictures that I finally got uploaded, I realized how much we have to share. This has been a fun and full summer - starting with Memorial Day weekend.

Brian's best friend, Robbie (Eden's godfather), and his girlfriend, Jessy, came to visit for some quality "catching up" time, meeting August, dancing with Eden, cooking great vegan meals, and gift sharing.

Eden obviously loves these two - especially because they bring interesting and fun NASA gifts from their place of employment. Eden and August are now restocked with NASA hats, tee shirts, games and books.

Robbie and Eden's dance moves were recorded on video... but the blog doesn't want to post it... I'll keep trying. Until then, check back for more summer fun. You won't be disappointed!

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.
