July 5, 2002 Ted Williams, I really wanted to have that visit with you .I am so sorry you have died and that will never happen now. God bless you. I have a Christmas card from you to my grandmother. Somewhere. I am afraid to throw anything out til I find it in this mess of unorganized old written/ printed things.On the news today they said you have to sell it fast, your memorbilia, while the iron is hot. I know where all the signed baseballs come from. You used to buy your own and visit sick kids in hospitals and give them autographed baseballs you'd bought and signed. And you told the hospitals if they told about it you would stop. So probably many autographed balls selling for big bucks today and this week came from those sick kids. I know you didn't autograph much, including your letter to me: the autograph was wisely protected, not freely given. My Dad says you were fishing with my grandparents in Key Largo when your wife had a babyyour daughterand your wife got so mad she chased you around the house with a knife. Strange isn't it the things I know?

Diary of by Shelley Potter : As usual, paperwork always seems to hold things up. A delay in getting Rob into the insurance company's computer has kept his doctor from being able to make the much needed appt. They should know more by tomorrow. : Mary was informed today that the doctor at the Univer. of Washington will not guarantee that he will do the transplant surgery without blood.....so they're obviously not going there now. She's been told that there are only 2 places that will operate without blood, the Texas Heart Institute in Houston and the UCLA Medical Center in Calif. She's working with the Anchorage liaison committee to get more information on the UCLA clinic. Rob's doctor is on vacation this week (wouldn't you know!). And the Providence Clinic in Seattle that recently opened, which specializes in bloodless surgery does not perform transplant surgeries. : Mary is in MUCH better spirits today. Even though they can't go to the Providence clinic in Seattle, she's been getting some very good information from them on the hospital in Houston. (And the woman at Providence who coordinates this stuff is a sister!) Dr. Coolie (?) is still a surgeon at the Houston hospital, but he no longer performs transplants. However, his partner does and has an excellent reputation. Now they'll just wait for their Anchorage doctor to return to the office on Monday and let him know they want to work making the arrangements for Houston.

We are accepting applications for two heart failure/transplant fellows each academic year and will soon be advertising for the positions for the 2002-2003 academic year. Heart, Heart-Lung, and Lung Transplant Program Stanford has been recognized as the pioneering center for heart transplants. Dr. Norman Shumway and his colleagues developed the experimental basis for transplants in their early work, which laid the groundwork for the first adult heart transplant in the United States at Stanford in January of 1968. Since then, many innovations have originated with the Stanford program, which continues to advance new techniques in surgery. The Stanford team has conducted more than 1000 heart transplants. In 1981, the first successful transplantation of the lung was performed at Stanford by Dr. Bruce Reitz and his colleagues as a heart-lung transplant. This was made possible by the use of the immunosuppressive drug, cyclosporine, and previous laboratory research performed at Stanford. The Stanford team is the longest continually active team performing lung transplantation, and new advances continue to be made in our research laboratories. At Stanford, more than 150 patients have received a heart-lung transplant, and recently, more than 120 patients have received either a single lung or double lung transplant. Innovations, which have been introduced in the transplant field from Stanford, have included:

"Hubble has a heartbeat," Nasa spokesman Rob Navias said after astronauts from the Columbia space shuttle fitted the new component and mission controllers turned the power back on. The spacewalkers had to work quickly so that Hubble's power could be turned back on before it was damaged by the extreme cold of space. Signs of weakness had been detected in the existing power unit. The new one is to last until the telescope is taken out of service in 2010. Element of risk There was no guarantee that the power would come back on once the unit was installed - although Nasa was always confident it would. Astronauts John Grunsfeld and Richard Linnehan took about four hours to remove the old power unit and fit the new one. It was a tricky job, delayed by a leak in Grunsfeld's spacesuit and involving 36 connections in cramped conditions.

heart transplant By Robert Merion, MD A heart transplant is performed to treat heart failure due to disease or injury. A donor heart is removed from a person deemed brain dead. The heart is then transplanted into the recipient. Who is a candidate for the procedure? A heart transplant is only offered to people who have irreversible, chronic heart failure. This may be due to a variety of causes, such as: coronary artery disease damage to the heart muscles congenital heart disease valve disease graft failure that requires another heart transplant Heart transplants can be done with success from infancy on through the 60s. Potential candidates are evaluated by a multidisciplinary team. The team may include: transplant surgeons medical heart specialists called cardiologists social workers nurses transplant coordinators The team considers many factors. The person's general health and suitability for major surgery are taken into account. So are risk factors, such as: emphysema poor leg circulation smoking liver or kidney problems and other conditions that may be treated before the transplant. Treatment of these problems improves the chance of success and reduces complications. Only a few conditions would absolutely rule out a heart transplant. These include:

Cardiac Rehabilitation Heart Transplant Heart Valve Surgery High Blood Pressure Mitral Valve Prolapse Myocarditis ... Women at Risk Understanding Heart Transplants A heart transplant is suitable for only a few people with certain kinds of heart disease. It is a complex procedure that requires a skilled, experienced surgical team and a highly motivated recipient. In most cases a heart transplant is recommended only when there is no other hope of survival and the possibility of the operation's success is high. The best candidate for a heart transplant is a person under 60 who, except for his or her heart, is otherwise healthy and whose liver, lungs and kidneys are strong. A supportive family or group of friends is also very helpful. Most often, the donor heart comes from a healthy person who died in an accident. The donor heart is rushed to the hospital, the recipient's chest is opened, the diseased heart is removed, and the donor heart is put in its place. During the operation, a heart-lung machine takes over for the recipient's heart. Most successful recipients recover and go on to live relatively normal lives. Approximately 80 percent are alive a year after the procedure, and some have lived for more than a decade. Aside from the hazards of open-heart surgery, the greatest obstacle to healing is the body's own immune system response. To the immune system, the new heart is an intruder, and the body will ordinarily reject the heart unless drugs are administered to suppress the immune system. Skillful dosage adjustment is crucial, since a suppressed immune system renders the patient susceptible to infection. The patient will need to take reduced dosages of these medicines for the rest of his or her life.

//var DOCUMENTGROUP=''; //var DOCUMENTNAME=''; //var ACTION=''; Heart Information Center Heart Transplantation The first heart transplants were performed in the late 1960s. But it was not until the use of anti-rejection medicines in the 1980s that the procedure became an accepted operation. Today, heart transplantation provides hope for a select group of patients who would otherwise die of heart failure. Established in 1982, the transplant program of St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital and the Texas Heart Institute (SLEH/THI) is one of the most experienced, successful programs in the world. Its surgeons have performed more than 870 transplant procedures. The key to the program's success is an experienced, highly skilled transplant team that includes surgeons, cardiologists, nurses, operating room personnel, social workers, psychologists, dietitians, rehabilitation specialists, and many other professionals. The team works to meet every need faced by transplant candidates, including emotional, family, and financial needs.
