More on the Hypothalamus  

Thursday, January 29, 2009

Good Morning Pammie Fans,

So I've been up all morning reading up on this hypothalamus dealeo. I really like this LINK so take a look if you have time. I have copied that web pages summary of what the hypothalamus is here....

" The hypothalamus is a small area at the base of the brain, weighing about 4 gm out of the 1400 gm brain weight of an adult human, yet it performs a wide range of functions that are vital for the survival of the individual. In general, the hypothalamus acts as a integrator to regulate and coordinate basic functions necessary for life, such as fluid and electrolyte balance; feeding and energy metabolism; wake-sleep cycles; thermoregulation; stress responses; and sexual behavior and reproduction. "

So the question today is, "how badly was the hypothalamus damaged?" It's clear that we all need this thing and now we just need to pray like crazy that mom's hypothalamus hasn't been affected too badly.

Stay positive, pray for my momma, your Pammie and stay tuned. I'll post some more throughout the day as I learn more from the docs.

Love

Ryan

    Almighty and Eternal God,
    You are the everlasting health of those who believe in You.
    Hear us for Your sick servant ,Pam
    for whom we implore the aid of Your tender mercy,
    that being restored to bodily health,
    she may give thanks to You in Your Church.
    Through Christ our Lord.
