Skinny minis

We're in the market for a double stroller...

...until then, we're taking advantage of the only bonus for having skinny kids.

P.S. Thanks for your concern; August seems to be doing much better. Who knew that he could sleep for 10-11 hours when void of coughing and pain?!

Eden Raine Murphy said...: Sorry Er... breathing treatments (nebulizers) are pretty commonplace in the mom world. I'm just getting you ready - by now, nothing your kids do should even phase you.; August 25, 2010 at 11:00 PM

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.
