On Dec. 15, 2008,

17-year-old DeMarco

Phillips laced up his

sneakers and began warming

up or the rst basketball

game o his senior year.Monique Bybee, DeMarcos

mother, cheered him on

rom the bleachers.

There was a time when I

thought I may never see this

day, Bybee said.

Just our months prior, on

Aug. 8, DeMarco was tackled while playing a preseason

ootball game or Bardstown High School. Upon impact,

his body went numb due to a neck injury involving hisspinal cord. His amily went home ater the game but

later decided to have DeMarco seen at Flaget Hospital in

Bardstown. Ater an initial evaluation, the emergency sta

sent DeMarco to Kosair Childrens Hospital by ambulance.

The next day, DeMarco regained eeling in his body,

however, an MRI and CT scan revealed a herniated disk inhis neck. This condition occurs when all or part o the sot

A YOUNG ATHLETE SCORES A WIN OVER PARALYSIS

center o a spinal disk is orced through a weakened part

o the disk and crushes the spinal cord.

DeMarco had an acute disk herniation between his

C3 and C4 vertebrae in his neck, which bruised his

spinal cord, said John Harpring, M.D., the neurosurgeon

who examined DeMarco. This injury could have

paralyzed him.

Neck injuries are a particular concern in contact

sports such as ootball, and they require special attention

because o the devastating consequences i they are severe.

Cervical nerve root and spinal cord injuries requently

occur ollowing cervical spine ractures.

The herniated disk in DeMarcos neck was removed,

and a usion was perormed between the two vertebrae by

Dr. Harpring. This portion o the operation was ollowed

by placement o a cervical plate by John Dimar II, M.D.,an orthopaedic spine surgeon. Basically, a permanent

plate was placed between the vertebrae or stabilization,

Dr. Dimar said. This is a common surgery or patients

who have sustained a all or been in serious car or

sports accident.

Thanks to the team o physicians that cared or him,

along with his winning spirit, DeMarco continues to be

a dominant orce on and o the court.

These doctors are a dream come true or our amily,

Bybee said. My son is alive and well, and that is all I

could ever ask or!Emily Lekites

Norton Neuroscience Institute

With the help o unds raised by the Norton Healthcare

Foundation, Norton Healthcare has committed up to

$100 million over the next 10 years to develop the

Norton Neuroscience Institute (NNI). The center is

expected to become the regional and national leader

in treatment, research and academic training or adultand pediatric patients with neurological disorders.

NNI will be especially benecial to patients who now

must leave the Louisville area to be diagnosed and

treated or neurological diseases such as epilepsy

and movement disorders.

Through the clinical expertise o the neurosurgeons

at the Neurosurgical Institute o Kentucky and other

aliated physicians, NNI provides a ull range o state-

o-the-art care or adults and children with neurological

disorders. This includes patients requiring neurosurgical

procedures (such as tumors, stroke, trauma, spine

disorders and birth deects o the brain and spinal cord);

those with neurological conditions, such as epilepsy,

multiple sclerosis, Alzheimers disease, Parkinsons disease

and neuromuscular and related disorders; and those withpsychiatric conditions that can have a neurological origin,

such as severe depression and obsessive-compulsive

disorders.

Working through Norton Leatherman Spine Center,

NNI physicians also help evaluate and treat spinal-related

disorders in adults and children.

These days, this idiom is easier

said than done. Many things

can aect sleep habits some

harmless and controllable, others

lie-threatening. In some cases sleepdisturbances may require medical

intervention to lessen or eliminate

health risks.

Beverly Hollingsworth snored so

loudly she woke hersel up and even

rightened her dog. Ater mentioning

it to her doctor, she underwent

sleep testing.

I spent the night in the sleep

center so they could monitor my sleephabits, and I learned I was not getting

enough oxygen, Hollingsworth said.

Although snoring may be harmless

or some people, it can be a symptom

o a serious sleep disorder called

sleep apnea.

Sleep apnea is associated

with some very serious medical

conditions, said Robert Karman, M.D.,

pulmonary and

sleep medicine.

Dont lose sleep over it!I let untreated, it can shorten ones

lie. There is a link between sleep

apnea and metabolic syndrome,

which may be linked to insulin

resistance or diabetes, high cholesterol

and high blood pressure.

There are many ways to treat

sleep apnea. The most common is a

continuous positive airway pressure

(CPAP) machine to keep the airway

open, which can greatly improve or

eliminate these conditions, according

to Dr. Karman.

Now I use a CPAP machine every

night and sleep so much better,Hollingsworth said. I dont wake up

with headaches like I used to, and

I have more energy.

Luckily, most sleep problems

involve not getting enough sleep or

restorative sleep and can be solved

with simple liestyle adjustments like

not watching TV or using a computer

beore bed and reraining rom

eating or exercising several hoursbeore bedtime.

Getting quality sleep requires a

behavioral understanding that the

hours beore bedtime should be a

quiet, relaxing time, Dr. Karman

said. Bright lights rom the TV or

computer, or example, impair the

brains secretion o melatonin, which

may keep you awake.

Its important to talk about your

sleep habits with your doctor i you

are too sleepy during the day to

drive saely or be productive,

Dr. Karman said. There are

many liestyle changes you

can make to get better

sleep without medical

intervention.

behavioral care

G e t H e a l t h y

Phil and Kimberly Marshall learned how to be good parents the old-

ashioned way, rom their parents and grandparents and through on-the-

job experience raising a son, Phillip, 18, and a daughter, Ashley Ann, 16.

Although they dont claim to be perect, the Marshalls have done their

parenting homework by giving their children both roots and wings.

We want them to know they are connected to a supportive, extended amily

they can call on at any time day or night, Kimberly said. But we have also

raised them to be able to make wise decisions on their own.

Ashley Ann will be beginning her junior year o high school. She has a 4.0

grade point average, is preparing to take the ACT, learning to drive and looking

orward to prom.

Phillip applied to 11 colleges and universities and was accepted at all o them.

He is excited about the next phase o his lie and plans to major in business. He

ound his college roommate through a social networking Web site.

Internet saety is something we never had to deal with when we were in high

school, Kimberly said. But these days with so much misuse o technology, its a

necessity to teach our kids to be alert to online dangers.

Kimberly and Phil agree that the teen years are not the time to take a break

rom parenting. In act, Phil said, weve become even more active in ourchildrens lives during high school.

They make it a point to not only spend quality time with their children but

also their childrens riends. Its one o the best things weve ever done, Phil

said. You learn a lot about your kids by getting to know their riends.

The Marshalls advise rst-time parents to enjoy the journey because it

passes much too quickly.

Lessons the Marshalls have taught their children:

Always do your best. Its exactly enough.

Dont marry the doctor, be the doctor. Set high expectations o yoursel.

You are who you hang with. Surround yoursel with good riends.

Keep your eye on the big picture. Dont stay discouraged; try again. Get in the boat. Make time or amily.

Remember to give back. Put your aith into action by helping others.

Allan Josephson, M.D., chie executive ocer o the Bingham Clinic

and proessor and chie o the Division o Child and Adolescent Psychiatry,

Department o Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University o Louisville,

believes i parents could give their children one thing, hed recommend a

healthy dose o sel-condence.

Parents who believe their children are o worth and act accordingly help

them see themselves as competent, Dr. Josephson said. Overvaluing children

can cause them to eel entitled or, at the opposite end o the spectrum,undervaluing them can cause them to eel worthless. Both extremes o sel-

evaluation can lead to serious behavioral issues that could require proessional

intervention, according to Dr. Josephson.

your kids by getting to

Depression, eating disorders, alcohol and drug abuse, aggression, sel-harming behaviors, resistance in going to

school, change in school perormance, lack o interest in activities that once were important anything that makes a

parent think something is not right may be a red fag or a deeper issue, Dr. Josephson said. With help, parents and

adolescents can catch up, redo and relearn.

I parents or caregivers notice a distinct change in the way a young person thinks, eels or behaves, they should

DONT MISS THE BUS ON SAFETY

Transportation safetyAlthough school buses are nearly

eight times saer than passenger

vehicles, too many children are killed

or injured getting on or o the bus

or waiting at a bus stop. Supervision

is vital when it comes to bus saety,

according to Erika Janes, R.N.,

Childrens Hospital Foundation

Oce o Child Advocacy o

Kosair Childrens Hospital, and

coordinator o Sae Kids Louisville

and Jeerson County.

Children under age 10 are not

developmentally capable o crossing

the street alone, Janes said. This

means parents and schools must be

Robert Hodge, M.D., amily

medicine. Dr. Hodge recommends

parents ollow the immunization

pain management

P

ain is the bodys way o signaling

that something needs attention.Just like trac signals, i you ignore

the warning signs o pain, the

consequences could put you in

danger.

Without experiencing pain,

you might seriously hurt yoursel

and not know it, or you might not

realize you have a medical condition

that needs treatment, according to

the National Institutes o Health.

Although unpleasant, pain initiatesthe processes necessary or repair

it triggers infammation and blood

fow to help protect and heal the

body. However, healing also can

be aided by pain relie.

When the body is not

coping with pain it can more

eectively ocus on healing,

according to the American

Academy o PainMedicine. Pain let

untreated causes a

stress response that

negatively aects

virtually all

body systems,

especially the

Pain relie promotesoverall healing

cardiovascular, endocrine, respiratory

and immune systems. This, in turn,aects a persons productivity, job

or school work, concentration,

emotional well-being, energy level

and enjoyment o lie. Pain can make

it hard to sleep, work, socialize and

accomplish everyday tasks. It also

can cause loss o appetite and an

overall eeling o weakness. Hobbies

and other activities that used to

bring happiness oten are avoided to

prevent urther injury or pain.

When pain is treated, the body

can rest, get the nutrition it needs

and be more mobile so that it can

ocus on healing.

I you are experiencing pain

that you are unable to relieve, its

important you talk with your doctor

and not let the pain take hold o

your lie.

You are my sunshineBe a role model or healthy skin

A hat with a 2- to 3-inch brim is best because it protects

the neck, ears, eyes, orehead, nose and scalp, Dr. Ballard

said. Use sunscreen and lip balm with SPF 30 or higher,and reapply every two hours and ater swimming or

sweating. Use sunscreen even on hazy or overcast days,

and put it on about 20 to 30 minutes beore you

Megan Keenan doesnt dress her kids in hats and

sunglasses because its stylish. She is creating good

skin care habits or her children, Audrey, 5, and Wyatt, 2.

The kids never go outside without 50 SPF sunblock,

she said. And I only use moisturizer and makeup with

SPF, as well as sunscreen whenever Im out in the sun.

Because she is air-skinned and reckled, Keenan knows

she may be at a higher risk o developing skin cancer.

She started protecting her skin early, ater her mother

had several cancerous areas removed rom her skin

over the years.

Melanin is a pigment in skin that helps protect against

UV radiation. People with air skin have less melanin,

so they are more likely to reckle and burn. This putsthem at higher risk or skin cancer than darker-skinned

individuals, said Deborah Ballard, M.D., oncology.

Those with many moles or a amily history o skin cancer

also are at a greater risk and should talk to their doctor

about regular skin cancer screenings.

I get a yearly checkup with my dermatologist,

Keenan said. I want to take every precaution I can

because our amily spends a lot o time outdoors, and

our children especially love going to their grandparents

house to swim.Its also important to do regular exams on yoursel and

your kids. Note the size and shape o moles, and see a

doctor i you notice any changes.

Studies show children who use sunscreen develop

ewer moles, which means it could decrease the risk o

melanoma later in lie, Dr. Ballard said. Also, a history

o ve or more severe sunburns beore

adolescence more than doubles

the risk o developing

melanoma as an adult.

Balancing an active

lie with avoiding the

suns harmul rays may

sound dicult, but it

doesnt have to be. The

American Cancer Society

suggests this catch phrase

to learn and teach to children:

Slip! Slop! Slap! and Wrap!

Slip on a shirt, slop

on sunscreen, slap ona hat and wrap on

sunglasses.

Summertime is grilling time! Grilling is one

o the healthiest ways to cook. Thinkbeyond burgers and hotdogs: Grilling

adds rich, smoky favors to many

oods without adding a lot o at and

calories. With a ew simple tips,

you can cook an entire delicious,

healthy meal on the grill, including

dessert.

You dont have to give up eating

bee just because you are watching

your cholesterol. Opt or lean cuts

o bee like fank steak, let mignon

or top loin. When shopping, remember

loin = lean. Lean cuts o pork and lamb are

good grilling options too. Trim all visible at

beore cooking.

By creating your own marinades, you can

control the favor, calories and sodium, said

Casey Potts, registered dietitian, Norton Weight

Management Services. Its un to experiment

with dierent herbs and spices or new favors

you cant get in the store.Potts recommends making your own

marinade or chicken by starting with a drizzle

o olive oil in a zip-close plastic bag. Add

resh-squeezed lemon or lime juice as well as

the rind. Citrus juice helps tenderize meat, and

the oils rom the rind add a blast o favor. Next

add several dashes o your avorite herbs and

seasonings, like Italian, rosemary, dill or Cajun.

The possibilities are endless!

Oil it up. Lean oods tend to stick whenplaced on a hot, dry rack. Oil your hot grill

rack with a canola oil-soaked paper towel held

with tongs. Do not use cooking spray on a

hot grill.

Fired up about eating healthy!

Enjoy great-tasting

grilled meals in minutes

Dont orgetthe veggies.

Fire-roasted

vegetables have a

unique, irresistible favor. Place

smaller, cut veggies on oil to grill.

You dont have to skip dessert. The

natural sugars in ruits will caramelize on

a warm grill, creating a sweet but good-

or-you dessert, Potts said. Try grilling

pineapple rings or peach halves, then drizzle

with honey and a dollop o low-at vanilla

yogurt or a satisying summer treat.
