Dextrocardia

Varying patients may present to their clinician or the emergency department for treatment with heart failure. It is important to understand that there is more than one type of heart failure; primarily the focus is placed on diastolic heart failure and systolic heart failure. Depending upon the cause of heart failure and what areas are affected dictates the treatment plan needed. While there are similarities with both kinds of heart failure, there are also differences that can help the clinician distinguish the diagnosis needed to fit the patient. Once a diagnosis is made the clinician can move forward in determining if the patient is at risk for use of diuretics and then look towards prescribing ACEIs, ARBs, and beta-blockers.

Our generation has different concepts of knowledge when contemplating on bringing a new life into the world. Many factors will play a role as to how a newborn will develop into their future self. Not only does a parent need to be mentally ready but also have enough money that they can provide the basic needs for their newborn. For eighteen years a parent will hold multiple responsibilities for their infant. Overall becoming a parent has many responsibilities including the developmental stages, feeding the infant, deciding to keep the newborn or adoption.

Dextrocardia is generally a condition where the heart is in the right thoracic region versus the left. The condition can result in normal heart being a little further to the right in the chest than normal, as well as a deformed heart in the right region of the chest and an anatomically mirrored heart in the right thoracic region instead of the left. All dextrocardia is congenital and less 1% of the population has this condition. Most dextrocardia patients have recurring health issues throughout life due to the anatomical abnormalities. An even smaller number of that 1% with dextrocardia has isolated dextrocardia. Isolated Dextrocardia is a healthy heart that is located in the opposite side of the chest and is usually seen with situs inversus,

On the day of November 30,2000, Jennifer and Travis Vineyard’s second son, Hayden Matthew, was born inside of a room at the University of Tennessee Hospital in Knoxville, Tennessee. I was born in November, but my parents were expecting me to be born in January of 2001, making me a premature. I was very small as a baby with only being 3 pounds and 15 ounces. I was the smallest baby in my family. As a baby I was hard to handle with not being able to breath on my own, my family was being hopeful that I would survive, the doctors weren’t. And with a little bit of praying, I was able to start breathing on my own.

Stem cells have made significant promise to help people understand and treat a broad range of injuries, diseases, and other health-related issues. This type of treatment has saved the lives of many people with leukemia and can also be used for tissue grafts to treat conditions with the skin, bone and surface of the eye ("Nine Things to Know about Stem Cell Treatments"). Dilated cardiomyopathy (DMC) is a disease characterized by expansion of the left ventricular chamber and it is usually associated with systolic dysfunction. The presentations of the condition include heart failure, myocardial infarction, and arrhythmia and as a refractory life-threatening condition which can cause heart failure, transplantation remains the ultimate therapy for

Take a deep breath and say to yourself you got this! You are going to be the best mom you can be. No one is expecting you to be perfect. Even if all the mothers in your circle of friends appear as if they have everything under control, there are times

The love between a parent and child is unconditional. It comes straight from the heart. The bond between a parent and child is something that only a parent can really understand. It starts before the child is born and will last a life time. Parents want to protect their child from any kind of harm. From the day the child is born, the mother and father will be the one that the child will depend on. The parents will be the one the child relies on whenever the child gets hurt, needs help, needs a shoulder to cry on,

I only got to get a faint glimpse of her. As soon as she was out, they took her and put her in an incubator. She had a heart problem known as PDA, temperature control problems and breathing issues. She stayed in the incubator for 5 weeks so she could get better. From there, her health problems slowly subsided, and on September 19th she was finally cleared to go home. You can't imagine the happiness and joy Glen and Lisa were feeling taking their new baby home for the first time. I was happy for them. After trying so hard for 8 and a half years and not being able to concieve, they were finally able to fill in the missing piece to their lives. I was happy I was the one that could help them fill in that void, and expierence their joy. This was so memorable for me because it was the hardest, scariest, annervous, but I had my Mom,Dad,Glen and Lisa by my side.d the most emotional thing i've ever had to

A mother is a friend, disciplinarian, and loving caretaker who chooses to put her child's wants and needs before her own. This is a job not everyone can take on, but as a mother to my daughter I plan to do everything in my power to be the best caretaker imaginable. A 15 year old child is definitely a difficult task to take on when it comes to parenting. If my teen, Cecilia, is just like me these parental guidelines are the best ways to parent her. Parenting includes disciplinary actions on rules along with consequences, dating under parental guidance, educational involvement between the both of us, and planning for what the future holds.

I woke my boyfriend up and called my mother and we rushed to the hospital. I was nervous and excited at the same time. After eight hours of labor, the baby wasn’t cooperating at all. I wouldn’t dilate past eight and I already had three epidurals. I was in so much pain. After being in labor for twenty three hours, the doctors said it was time for a cesarean. I was so scared. All of a sudden, I heard my son screaming. My heart melted and I couldn’t keep the tears from coming. That was the best moment of my life. Justin and I named our son, Bentley Michael McCartney. He weighed eight pounds and thirteen ounces and he was twenty one inches tall. He was beautiful and healthy. Seeing my son made me realize that I was now an adult and I would be the best mother I possibly could be.

Many women have babies every day in life, but I believe having a baby can be the scariest thing you can actually go through being a teenager. There are more teenagers having babies with no guidance or direction in their lives today. I know being pregnant at 17 for me was the scariest moment of me being a teenager. The thought of me becoming a mother made me scared because I had no idea how to prepare, for the pain that my son (Freddrick) and I will have to endure.

     Being a parent is not a job that can be left behind when the parents leave the home. It’s a tiring, happy demanding, joyous, overwhelming, loving job that is 24-7, 365 days a year. Parenting requires patience (a lot), children are unpredictable. Remember that quality time is the best thing that a parent can do and give to a child. Parenting requires money to raise children. Don’t forget that sleep will be lost

I have no experience in raising a child, my parents were always around when my little brother was born, and I also wasn’t the oldest child. I didn’t really help raise my brother, but we are still very close. I asked my mom, dad, and my aunt about their experiences with joys and challenges with raising an infant. The women provided more information for me to use, but their joys and challenges were similar. My dad said he sort of felt helpless in raising infants, he couldn’t really do anything. He couldn’t breastfeed us kids, and my mom wouldn’t let him do a lot of the things needed for an infant, then they had my brother and he started helping out more. He also had trouble sorting out the different patterns for each child. Figuring out the different sleeping patterns and the food we liked, or what calmed each baby down. Also, of course with every child there is a struggle with finances, which is a problem. Before, you have a child, you should plan out the finances, but if the

I am now twenty five years old and I have a seven year old daughter. I was a teenager when I had her, barely more than a child myself. When you are that young, you are supposed to be figuring out what you want to make of your life. You are supposed to be thinking about whether you want to go to college and what you want to study. It is the time in your life when you are supposed to be taking the first steps towards adulthood. However, when you become a mother or a father, you have to completely reprioritize your life. You are no longer living for you or thinking about what is best for you. Instead, your life becomes all about the

I will never forget the moment my labor began, the moment that marked that step in my journey into motherhood. I can remember everything about it so clearly. My mom, fiancé, and I woke up early Friday morning to make our way to Western Missouri Medical Center. I stood in front of the mirror looking at my belly knowing it would be my last time standing in that bathroom with my baby inside of me still. It was a bittersweet moment that I cherished as long as I possibly could. I was set to be induced that morning and very excited, yet a little bit nervous. I had no idea what to expect. I’d been waiting a very long 37 weeks to finally meet this precious human that had been growing inside me. I had ideas of what he might look like, and what the experience might be like, however nothing could have prepared me for what was in store over the next few days.
