Cotton is one of the most common and kid-friendly fibers because it’s comfortable, breathable, and durable. Keep in mind that all-cotton knits can shrink as much as 10 percent with repeated washing. If cotton items fit perfectly when your child tries them on, buy a size larger. “To make school clothes last longer, have your kids change into play clothes when they get home,” says Diana Ennen, the mother of three, from Margate, Fla.  excerpt from ConsumerReports.org

As reported by Rong-Gong Lin II of the LA Times
On Aug. 15, 2006, Alicia Cole entered Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center for a routine surgery — removing noncancerous growths from her uterus.

Several days after the procedure, it was clear something was wrong.

The actress’ abdominal area was red and swollen. She had a temperature of 103 degrees. At one point, the inflamed incision site oozed a brown fluid.

A hospital record dated Aug. 21, 2006, said Cole had a postoperative wound infection, according to a state report.

But it would take four more days before doctors made a presumptive diagnosis that she had necrotizing fasciitis, better known as flesh-eating disease, according to the state report. On Aug. 25, she underwent the first of five surgeries to remove dying flesh and infected tissue.

“All this area was on fire,” Cole said, pointing at her abdomen. “I was being eaten alive.”

The diagnosis of flesh-eating bacteria — an infection that destroys muscles, skin and underlying tissue — was confirmed on Aug. 31.

“They took me back and strategically cut apart my abdomen and left butt cheek to the point where I basically looked like a shark attack victim,” said Cole, now 46. “I had a big cavernous hole where the center of my body was.”

A friend of Cole’s filed a complaint with the California Department of Public Health regarding the hospital’s infection control practices. Cole later followed up, and state health officials visited the medical center Oct. 10, 2007, to examine hospital records involving her case.

The state later cited the hospital for failing to report the case to the Public Health Department, which requires that any “unusual occurrence” that threatens the health of patients be reported to public health officials.

State inspectors also wrote that the hospital failed to follow its policy on monitoring and controlling hospital-acquired infections. They said a review of the minutes from the hospital’s infection control meeting held on Aug. 22, 2006, showed no discussion of Cole’s postoperative infection.

In a written response to the state, hospital officials said they would report such cases to public health authorities in the future. They also said staff discussions on Cole’s illness were held at her bedside.

Hospital officials declined to talk specifically about Cole’s case, but said no other patients contracted necrotizing fasciitis when she was in the hospital. They said they sympathize with patients who acquire infections while at the hospital, adding that the facility ranks as “above average” in the state for “surgical infection prevention.”

Nonetheless, hospital officials said they are beefing up oversight of infection control issues.

In the meantime, Cole, who has had roles in movies and television shows, is still recovering from her wounds and suing the hospital.

Ideally, she said, hospitals should be required to report infection rates to the public. She supports such efforts in the state Legislature; similar efforts died last year along with the proposed comprehensive overhaul of California’s healthcare system.

“If you go to a restaurant, you can decide where you want to eat by looking at the letter grade in the window,” Cole said. “I would like to see that for hospitals.”

Two years later, Alicia Cole says she’s still recovering from her experience at Providence Saint Joseph. The hospital says it ranks ‘above average’ in the state for surgical infection prevention.

Margate, FL — 07/17/2008 — Most of a child’s fondest memories happen now. It’s summertime, school is out, which gives kids hours and hours of time to play and do what they enjoy doing most. It’s also the perfect time to instill a love of reading. With no stress of school assignments, children can finally sit back and enjoy a good book. And one excellent choice is Zip, Burp, and Hula, with the newly released matching coloring book and paint by number book.

Zip, Burp and Hula is a wholesome children’s book, which sparks the imagination, is fun to read, and works to develop reading and coloring skills. The delightful 32-page educational tale helps children understand that it is sometimes hard to be yourself; but with the help of a few wonderful friends, it can be done. It’s beautifully illustrated and perfect for beginner readers at the 2nd grade level. The colorful pictures also make it the perfect bedtime story that kids will be asked to be read over and over again.

The story takes place when the main character, a Chameleon, tries to discover who he truly is. Many children will be able to relate to that same concept as they grow older and experience all the many challenges of childhood. Zip goes out on an adventure to discover himself and his purpose in life. He befriends a zippy dragonfly, a burping bullfrog, three dancing wasps, and a wise moth. The Chameleon looks to his loving friends and the adventures begin as together they search for the answers. You grow fond of the characters and children delight when Zip finally figures out a way to do what he was supposed to do and change colors. It also has a Christian theme, whereby they seek God’s support in facing these challenging movements.

Author, Cindy Johnston, has written several children’s books. Johnston had two books selected in the top four finalists in the Heartland Writer’s Conference in 2000, with Zip, Burp, and Hula awarded second place.

Zip Burp and Hula is published by Virtual Word Publishing, http://www.virtualwordpublishing and available at the publisher’s website, Amazon, and www.kidsbooksandmore. Discounts are available for schools, churches, etc. Plus, the holidays are right around the corner. Order early.

Kids today need more books with good inspirational messages and Christian values. Zip, Burp and Hula is just that book.
