The back-to-school count down... Day 7

Our glorious days of summer are coming to an end.
Eden will be back to pre-school in exactly one week.
She is dreading it with every ounce of her 30 pound body. (I'm rounding up!)
And so am I...

So, we're going out with a bang!

Day 7 = Spa Day

Which included facials, manicures, and pedicures. Gotta look good for school!

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.
