Health - 22 March 2007

My cousin and his wife recently found out that their unborn baby has Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome(HLHS), which is a rare heart disorder. I have done the research on this, and know what it is and what the chances of recovery are. Does anyone know more about the survival rates, and how much of a normal life she can lead with her condition? Any help would be appreciated. Also, what are some good charities to look into for medical expenses help??

Following a bout of pain and vomiting six months ago an ultrasound scan found a 1.8cm polyp and fatty liver. I have some low grade left sided pain and bouts of slight nausia. I have been on a low fat diet for six months and have lost 2stone but am still overweight. I do fee extremely tired a lot of the time and sometimes get extreme indigestion. I have suffered for some time from acid reflux causing difficulty swallowing. One consultant tells me that 1.8cm is very small and wanted to discharge me the other wants to remove the gallbladder as he says that 1.8cm is very large. I have been given no dietry advise both consultants inform me that this polyps is definately not a stone. Any advise should I have surgury what kind of things can I do to help myself. It worries me that this scan was done six months ago and the polyp may now be bigger and possibley cancerous.

I am starting week 2 of a "dentist strength" whitening system. As they explained would happen, I have super sensitive teeth. I am seeing results but I am wondering how long they really last. I have given up red wine (sigh) for the time being and cut back on coffee. (I usually only have 1 cup a day anyways) Any personal experience or advice or suggestions?
Thanks

The doctor has given him glasses and is going to have me patch his right eye for 2 hours every day inorder to strengthen stimulation in the left. Im looking or suggestions of activites if anyone knows that will help build eye stimulation. The doctor suggested buying him a lite brite and using a tooth pick and also coloring o's in the phone book, i was just looking to see if anyone could help me with other things has well.

My husband just got a prescription for glasses for the first time at the age of 25. Needless to say, they are a fairly mild prescription. He wants to know if wearing them constantly will make his vision worse, or if not wearing them occasionally will improve his sight. Anyone know anything on this subject?

I drank some seven crown whiskey mixed with mountain dew in a 52oz. QT cup, about 1/8 of the cup with whiskey, this was at about 6:00pm til 8:45pm and I also mixed a little more of each in during that time period. Later that night around 12:00am to 1:40am (1:40am being my last drink) I had about 4 beers. I have pissed like 5 or 6 times already today after drinking water and gatorade. If I wait to take my test until around 4pm will I pass?
