WOW 5 months ALREADY......

Today Kennley turned 5 months old and visited her Pediatrician for her 4 month well child care appointment. She has been off a month because her Dr. went on vacation, but we are still on track getting her immunizations every 2 months. She weighs 16lbs 5oz and is 25 inches long. He said she is very healthy and to keep up exactly what we are doing with her because she looks great. It made me feel good today as a mom to hear that we are doing a good job as first time parents at keeping her happy and healthy. She was such a trooper today with her shots and only cried for a few minutes after(it broke my heart when she squeezed my fingers when they poked her)but then she started smileing at all the nurses again. She also has been cutting her first two teeth on the bottom for a couple weeks now so she has been a little more fussy than normal, so today was a really bad day for her. She is getting so big and getting cuter and cuter everyday. I love to watch her try and roll over and get mad when she can't, and listen to her blow raspberries and squeel and coo. She is growing right before my eyes and I am loveing every minute of it. We also started her on some baby food today too. She loved it.......we gave her some sweet potatoes and she ate like a champ(I think she wanted to taste something other than breastmilk and cereal for a change.) Here are a few pics from today......

SADS Awareness Month

My friend had this on her blog to try and get the word out for her friends family who has this syndrome. Show your support for the many families who are dealing with SADS by reposting this on your blog cause you never know whos life you can save.


Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndrome (SADS)

Here are some eye grabbing facts to help you along...

• Each year in the United States, 400,000 Americans die suddenly and
unexpectedly due to cardiac arrhythmia's. 3,976 of them are young
people under age 35

• Long QT Syndrome (LQTS) is 3 times more common than childhood
leukemia (ALL) in the US and occurs 1/3 as often as cystic fibrosis and
twice as often as PKU (an infant protein deficiency which causes
mental retardation)

• SADS occur in about 240 people per 100,000, with 20 having LQTS,
20 having ARVD and 200 with HCM

• 1 in 200,000 high school athletes in the US will die suddenly, most
without any prior symptoms

Hundreds of children and young adults die each year in the United States due to Long QT Syndrome.
Any young person who has experienced unexplained fainting should be tested.
It is extremely important that all family members be tested for these conditions once one family member is identified as having the condition.
SADS’ Mission: To save the lives and support the families of children & young adults who are genetically predisposed to sudden death due to heart rhythm abnormalities.
Long QT Syndrome
(LQTS)
What is Long QT Syndrome (LQTS)?
1. LQTS is a disturbance of the heart's electrical system, causing an abnormality of the heartbeat, or rhythm of the heart.
2. Because of this abnormality, affected people are vulnerable to sudden fainting (syncope) and even death.
3. Unfortunately, many times the cause of the syncope is overlooked and the events are called simple fainting spells or seizures.
4. Most often, these events occur during physical exertion or emotional stress. In some they occur during sleep.
5. Fortunately, most of these deaths are preventable if the condition is recognized and treated.
What are the Symptoms?
♥ Fainting episodes (syncope) during or immediately after physical activity
♥ Fainting as a result of emotional excitement/distress/startle
♥ Family history of unexplained death below age 40
How is it Diagnosed?
The diagnosis is made from an ECG that has been read by a cardiologist, not a computer. Usually a series of ECGs will enable your doctor to diagnose LQTS. In some cases, an exercise ECG or event monitor will clarify the diagnosis. Finally,a diagnostic genetic test is now available and is extremely useful for diagnosis and treatment.
How Is It Treated?
Treatment is very effective in the vast majority of patients. Medications called beta-blockers are effective in about 90% of patients. In the remaining cases, a pacemaker or automatic defibrillator is used.
A child should be seen by a doctor if she/he has:
• Family history of unexpected, unexplained sudden death in a young person
• Fainting (syncope) or seizure during exercise, excitement or startle
• Consistent or unusual chest pain and/or shortness of breath during exercise

GAME NIGHT.....

Last night we decided to get everyone together to play some volleyball at the park and have a game night. It was such a blast and of course we had to challenge the guys at volleyball and do girls vs guys, and guess who took the tournament.....that's right the GUYS. We kept up pretty well with them with Brent and Devin being pros and all, and after we headed over to Paces to get their YUMMY rainbow floats(I had a small craving.) After that we headed over to Kayla's house and had such a fun game night with everyone. When we get together and do game night we get pretty competetive because it is always girls vs guys in every game we play. None of us like to lose but guess who always loses......Yep, that's right the girls. We try so hard(sometimes we have even cheated) and that gets us no where either. They watch us like hawks now after they found us stashing cards under the coffee table in our favorite game CRANIUM POP 5. But no matter if we lose and they win we have so much fun playin. Thanks guys for such a fun night!! We LOVE ya.
