What
is apenea and when does it occur? By Virginia Cerda Apnea has occurred all over the world. It can happen at any time and for any baby. People think that it only happens to certain infants or toddlers. That is why people don’t take the time to read about the dangers of apnea. In this article you will read about what apnea is, what is done to help out to control it and what to do if it happens. Apnea means that airflow into the lungs has stopped. This happens because the infant or toddler stops breathing or because the windpipe or airways have become blocked. Sometimes, apnea occurs as a combination of both factors. A baby with apnea may: · suddenly stop breathing for more than 10 seconds · have a drop in heart rate below 90 beats a minute · become pale or bluish around the mouth and face ·
start breathing again
by himself or may need help to restart breathing. Apnea may happen once a day or
many times a day. The more immature the baby is, the more frequent the apnea
spells are. As the baby matures, he or sheoutgrows the apnea.
(Continued à) |
Babies normally breath 20 to 60 times a minute. They sometimes stop breathing for 10 to 12 seconds. These breathing pauses are considered to be normal if the baby begins breathing again by himself and there is no change in the baby's skin color and no drop in heart rate. Babies may also have a breathing pattern in which they have a breathing pause and then breath several rapid shallow breaths. This is called periodic breathing and is also considered to be normal. So long as the pauses last no longer than 15 seconds. Pauses that occur with a change in the baby's skin color and a drop in heart rate are not normal. Some infants with apnea are attached to
a monitor that continuously measures heart rate and breathing rate. This type
of monitor is called a cardio-respiratory monitor. If the baby stops
breathing for too long or the heart rate drops too low, the monitor sounds an
alarm to alert you. When the monitor alarm sounds, you go to the baby and observe. You determine (Continued on

(Apnea --
Continued from page 3) whether the baby is breathing,
what the heart rate is, and whether there is any change in the color of the
baby's skin. Many times the baby starts breathing again and does not need any help. If the baby is not breathing, his or her back, arms, or legs must be rubbed. The baby's head may be turned to a different side or he or she may be turned over. This kind of stimulation is continued until the baby is clearly breathing again. Several medications can stimulate the part of the brain that controls breathing and can reduce the number of apnea spells. Aminophylline and theophylline are the most commonly used drugs. Keep in mind
why it is important to know about apnea.
Remember, if you don’t know what apnea is, how it is caused or how to
help, your baby might die. |

Game Review By Nick Rodriguez One recent game to hit the shelves is a great game. The Sims “Busting Out” is a wacky challenging game that gives the player a controlling perspective of a character you create. You can choose from a lot of different appealing sets of clothing. You can even choose the hairstyle, eye color, and facial features. The Sims “Busting Out” is the first Sims game that I played, and let me tell you it’s a thrilling and well thought-out game with a very wacky sense of humor.
“Travel to wild new locations, meet unique new people, unlock hundreds of new objects and social moves, and get into all sorts of trouble, Or try free play modes for tons of open-ended game play”.

screams at you that a greedy man named Malcolm is stealing your scooter. In order to get back your stuff, you have to find a job and move out your mom’s house.

Make sure to raise the whole thing up. After completing that, go to the mirror and talk to the mirror and raise your Charisma. Read a few books on Cooking and Mechanical. Do some paintings in the back yard to build up your Creativity. Then buy a weight-lifting bench and go nuts!) After all your skills are fully complete, find a job and head out into the wacky world of the Sims. Try to stop Malcolm from taking belongings from different Sims. Help them get their stuff back and meet new people and make an abundance of wacky friends and lovers! On my scale from 1

Lionel Tate released from prison By Sara Schirmacher About 5 years ago a boy named Lionel Tate
-- 12 years old at the time -- killed a 6 year old girl by the name of
Tiffany Eunick, a playmate of his. He was then sentenced to prison to be
locked away for life. He was the
youngest defendant in the nation to be locked away in prison for life. Last month the court threw out his
first-degree murder conviction. He
continued to claim he had accidentally killed the girl. Tate was released on |
arrest
for one more year and must receive counseling. He will also be
on probation for ten
years, and must fulfill 1,000 hours of Community
Service. The
mother of the girl who was killed agreed with
the plea bargain because she said that Tate
was so young at the time. She also
said he
should take responsibility for what he had done
to her daughter and that Tate should quit saying it was an accident. Florida Gov. Jeb Bush stated that he “hopes Lionel Tate will
express remorse, at a minimum, for
had what occurred.” |

Who cares about Ben and J.
Lo? By Zara Nasers The yes-no, yes-no relationship between Ben
Affleck and Jennifer Lopez is in the no phase,
again. Jenny ended the engagement, according to one of her publicists, no
doubt as a means of seeking attention. A spokesman for J. Lo confirmed the
relationship was ended saying, “At this difficult time, we ask that you
respect her privacy.” Sure! Like Jenny doesn’t want the
attention. Affleck's publicists
wouldn’t comment, thank goodness he doesn’t want the attention. For years, the
public has been forced to endure Ben and J. Lo’s public affection for one
another in videos and movies. This
includes such duds as Gigli, generally
considered the biggest bomb of the year.
If they’re truly broken up for good, perhaps we won’t have to endure
any more Ben/J.Lo movie disasters. Ben and J. Lo were
supposed to be married last August, but postponed their plans because,
according to Jenny, people were paying too much attention to them. Translation: People were not paying enough attention to
Jenny. |
Since then, the media has followed their every move, as if anyone
even cares about them. Give us a
break. J. Lo and Ben are scheduled to appear on
screen together one more time in Jersey Girl, due out March 19. Perhaps the studio will just burn all
copies of the film and spare us any further agony. Lopez plays Affleck's
wife, but she dies 12 minutes into the movie.
If only life were to imitate this movie… Good God, could we just be spared any more
news about Jenny. |
