The Day After Christmas

Many families during the month of December are busy shopping for Christmas presents, decorating a Christmas tree, and getting ready for Santa Clause. For those families celebrating Hanukkah this can conclude of preparing Latkes, singing Ma’Oz Tzur, and lighting the candles of the Menorah.

1. The medical care facility should have had an interpreter there at the childbirth. I think it was absolutely ridiculous for Sherry to have to go through natural childbirth and have the incident with the air not being on as well. The doctors and nurses should have also been properly trained and more compassionate.

Once we got there, I was excited because I always loved all of the rides except roller coasters. When we got inside the park, I wanted to go on the swing ride, but my dad said no. He suggested that we should go on the ride “Medusa”. Guess what! It was a rollercoaster ride. I begged him to not go on it and he eventually convinced me

Tiffany is worried about her newborn son. Ever since she brought Caleb home from the hospital it has been so hard to get him to eat and he seems to be breathing too hard all the time. At his one month check-up, the nurse tells her that Caleb has only gained one pound since he was born and Tiffany breaks into tears.

The original due date for this unborn child was not until three months from this night, however, the doctors had the situation under control. When my mom went into labor prematurely, they had the ability to perform a Cesarean section and give birth to my little sister. This was only the beginning of the adventure for three pounds one ounce Elisabeth Marie Ballard. The first stop on her journey was the NICU to be placed in an incubator to be kept warm and monitored for developmental problems. During the first weeks of her life, she was fed breast milk through a tube that ran from her nose to her stomach. After two months in the NICU incubator, she was finally gained enough weight to go home. This exciting moment did come with a few strings attached. Her weight and vitals still needed to be monitored, so the hospital sent home a machine that allowed them to receive all of her vitals in real time. Her size and prematurity have never stopped her from leading a regular life. Thanks to the technology advancements in the medical field, my sister survived her prematurity and is now leading the life of an annoying six-year-old sibling. Libby, as we call her, transcended the process of natural selection and childhood mortality, and her life is a miracle. The credit can be given to the technology and the people who wield the knowledge

By 24 weeks the vital organs of the fetus are well-formed and the brain has nearly its full complement of billions of neurons. Premature or full-term, at this age, the brain faces a lot of challenges. For that reason, a controlled environment helps them manage the world around them considering that what surrounds us affects the developing brain. The environment formulates on the developing brain but does not formulate on a blank slate. This also tells about the plasticity of the brain; how a developing structure is modifiable due to experience. I could tell that the special treatment baby Elizabeth received, made a difference to her brain. It influenced her reactions, sensations, and reflexes. The experiment the doctor did with her and a toy was an example of it when the toy really captured her attention. I think the doctors did a remarkable job with her and it was wonderful to see how connected they were. It is very interesting that the intensive care unit mimics the womb and that thanks to that the babies are able to confront the world and handle all these new stimulations a little bit better. They also emphasize the skin contact with the mother so they can feel close to her and relaxed at the same time which does her good because once the mother has the baby on her breast the brain and body connect and makes them feel

Our Trip - The park is large, fun, very crowded, and quite expensive, especially to eat with a family. The lines are long and sometimes it is difficult to stand in the sun. Still, it is far less expensive than traveling to Disneyworld or Disneyland, and there are more roller coasters in Cedar Point anyway. The beauty of the park is that it is set up for all ages; there are rides and events for preschoolers, young children, adolescents, older children, and the child in every adult. It is definitely a middle to upper middle-class park,

Nurse @ GRU did recommend a hospital for her to take the infant; however, Ms. Keith was not comfortable with the doctor, and never kept the appointment that was scheduled.

Around a few months ago, my parents became separated, and my dad had been bunking in our basement; as he had nowhere to go. Both he and my mom were emotionally drained, and he needed liberation from the confinement of our basement, so he decided to visit our property in New Mexico for awhile. None of us knew when he would return. I had been to New Mexico one time previously, and it didn’t take me much time at all to become completely infatuated with it. Furthermore, when I discovered he would be going, I knew it was my duty to talk my Mom into. However, ticket prices were astronomical, and we weren’t in the best place financially, as the divorce was an expensive process. Getting the stamp of approval wasn’t going to be easily done.

New York City October 21 2001 a young boy is born his name was Franklin. Franklin was born high on drugs. His mom and dad left right after he was born but they left without him. The nurses at that hospital were used to that. They had to call the state to make a report and they sent him to a foster home for high risk children that had medical assistants. The home was very disgusting there were Rats and Roaches. Franklin stayed there until he was 2. Then he went to a regular foster home franklin didn’t speak but when he was at the home for high risk kids he started developing a relationship with a nurse named Ms. Louis he liked Ms. Louis, she would talk to him every day even though he didn’t talk back. When he was taken to the new home he was

I believe people, young to old, should have the day off after Thanksgiving. People are going to be exhausted and unable to work or learn during the day after such a big feast. Also with no one home to eat the Thanksgiving leftovers, the cold food will just go to waste. On Thanksgiving, most people go visit their relatives and need to a day to get back home. The biggest reason, however, is that the day after Thanksgiving is Friday and not much will be gotten done in the one day left before the weekend.

Since this happened to me, I have heard first hand from other people with similar experiences, of getting the wrong baby in top notch hospitals, all I can say is thank goodness it was mixed up with another frum baby. Some people are horrified, and insist that they would never mix up their baby, they would for sure realize… yeah, yeah at four in the morning with the lights out, 12 hours after giving birth, heavily medicated… don’t go

I, Ebenezer Scrooge will never understand why people around the world are so obsessed with the idea of Christmas . They allow the idea of such a foolish holiday to fill them with happiness forgetting they truly have no reason to be happy. Most of these people live poor and instead of working everyday to gain more money they would rather take Christmas off and be around friends and family, what a waste of time. For instance take my nephew Fred ,every year, Fred comes to my work and invites me to a Christmas party with the family . I find two problems with that situation, for one Fred lives poor , how could he possibly afford a party? Secondly, I do not like to associate with people including my family. Nevertheless, Fred will

Christmas is the annual festival celebrating the birth of Jesus on the 25th December, at least that is what it began as initially. Since it has expanded into an international phenomenon for consumption, taking priority over our everyday practices of life (Michel De Certeau, 1980). Our time we spend divided between work and leisure in accordance to the codes and conventions of society shifts, Christmas derails these expectations. Yet surprisingly Christmas gains little attention in terms of social research, despite the fact that it can be explored diversely. The inquiry ‘What is Christmas?’ links to multiple aspects of social research. The aspects of Christmas can be subdivided into the following; religion, commercialism, gift-giving, social relationships, sensualism and mythology. This essay will analyse these fundamentals of Christmas through both psychological and sociological perspectives, as the theories among these two social sciences are best suited to the elements which make up Christmas itself.

Christmas is meant for joy and laughter, not injuries and pain. Each year there are hundreds of injuries that occur on the morning of December 25th. When the holiday approaches Americans love to get into the Christmas spirit. Each family celebrates Christmas with their own traditions and rituals that determine their holiday activities. I would have never thought that my family’s traditions for Christmas morning would help me shape my values.
