Interventions such as chest Physiotherapy, assisted cough, and nocturnal noninvasive ventilation may be considered. However these interventions will only increase the quality of life with no effect on survival for patients with Werdnig-Hoffman paralysis or SMA type I. Some of the medical complications associated with these treatments include pulmonary infections, spinal deformities and respiratory failure. Prognosis The prognosis for children with Werdnig-Hoffman paralysis is very poor. Median survival is about 6 months and 95% of children with the disease have died by the age of 18 months.
Good communication skills are essential for childcare professionals, because they help them to develop relationships and demonstrate that they care. We communicate with parents, professionals and children. Ways in which we do this are:- • Daily Diaries – all children have a daily diary. Their key person will write in what the child has ate and drank, how long they have slept for, when their nappies have been changed or if they have had any accidents and what activities they have participated in throughout the day. The staff will also write in any messages for the parents, e.g.
Some playgroups and preschools Childminders. Surestart. From 1st September 2010 the goverment extended these hours from 12 to 15 hours for up to 38 weeks of the year. The free entilement provides access to early childhood education and care ensuring that all children have opportunity to benefit from early years education. Day nurseries often based in workplaces and run by business or voluntary groups providing care and learning activities for children from birth to five years old.
One positive issue is that co-sleeping helps to promote breast feeding. McVea mentioned that breast feeding studies had been shown to lower the risk of SIDS in infants (as cited in Mitchell, 2009), but others, such as Alm (2007), have said that breast feeding has not effect on the likely-hood of an infant suffering from SIDS or not. No matter the argument, breast feeding is still encouraged with newborns, as it does help with growth and development. “There is a very strong connection between sleep and sudden infant death syndrome”(Daltveit et al., as cited in Alm, 2007). In 1993 Scragg et al.
It came back a year later that only 60% of these children that were treated were successful, while the rest failed, but it is stated that this medication is not for everyone and does have severe side effects. Some of the side effects are that of more sleep for the medicated, where as the unmediated can get less sleep. With Ritalin a child can become more depressed, but the pro would be the ability to focus more in school. In my personal opinion, you can medicate a child to death, but you need to understand the cause of the behavioral problem, before you can remove the cause. Just proving a child with medicine but not really knowing for what is not the answer.
Because of the injury I will never run, surf, stand for longer than 10 minutes, or hike again. These use to be my favorite things to do but the outcome far outweighs what would of happened if the clerk would of just filed my shot records correctly. Because of this injury it has saved my life a couple of times that I know of. The day I had my hip replacement surgery is the day that my unit left for Iraq. Of course I was upset to not be able to go and be with my brothers and sisters but the injury held me back and that’s life not much I could do about it.
When I first held my baby girl, who was perfect in every way, I didn't feel a strong attachment right at first. It didn't feel like she was really mine, this precious, seven pound four ounces looking at me. I had been very adamant about my decision to breastfeed, and so we began as soon as we could. It was a somewhat slow process; the two of us bonding and falling in love, the kind of love that only a mother and child can have. To be honest I am not exactly sure of the moment that it happened but it was not more than a couple days when some of the shock of this new responsibility had worn down and I fed her we would look
Surveys show that teens rely on naps to make them more refreshed. You should only take at the maximum a 45 minute nap anything more than that disrupts your biological clock and this is what causes you to wake up angry or irritable from a nap. Other factors also play a role in getting good night’s sleep. For example, caffeine plays a huge part in not getting any sleep, 31% of adolescents surveyed said that they cannot sleep after drinking a caffeine drink before bed. Technology also has a huge role in not getting to sleep.
Task 1 I currently work at a private day nursery working with children aged 12 weeks to 5 years. Since working there my knowledge and understanding of good communication is developing and growing. During a session with my line manager I was able to express my knowledge of good communication, by answering the following questions; 1.1: Identify the different reasons people communicate? There are many reasons people communicate, one of these reasons is to build relationships. These relationships are with work colleagues, parents/carers and the children I work with.
Some long term effects are breathing difficultys,deafness, heart failure, feeding problems and vision problems. The life expectancy of someone with this condition is very low because they barely make it through birth.Of the surviving children, approximately:28% die in first week, 44% die in first month, and 86-91% die in first year. Part 6: The only treatment available for surviving infants is surgery to correct physical defects. Surgery is only attempted when the infant reaches a certain age. There is no cure for Trisomy 13.The only special care needed for this disease is sleepless nights, correct alignment of the body,with having a cleft chin, a baby needs a special nipple for feeding.
