The back-to-school count down... Day 2

Day 2 = The Last Hoorah!

Tonight was the first annual Murphy Family Last Hoorah Outing (to be celebrated the last weekend before school starts every year). Eden decided she wanted to go to a Carnival after seeing a picture in a magazine this week. For lack of a true carnival, we chose the Lakeside Amusement Park which is fairly close to home and (unbeknownst to us) perfect, perfect, perfect. I am still amazed at this treasure - a charming, old-fashioned, family-friendly park. We had a wonderful evening, shared with friends, good laughs, and yummy treats.

Oh, and if you can't tell by the pictures, Eden had the time of her life... (which really could have gone either way)! On the car ride home she listed every person she knows and why they too would love the amusement park. Zachary. Campbell. Whitney. Ali. Hudson. Weston. Wilson. Brooks. Vincent. Ben. Nathan. Anna. Sydney. Mackenzie. Colton. You get the idea. :)

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.
