That means he officially prepared for his duties as older is sibl- ing, now that the new baby is here. waited a long time The When his mom went to the hospital to get the baby, he wasnt afraid, because he had been assured in the class that someone would take care of him. He also knew exactly where to go in the hospital to visit his mother because he already had seen the room in which she was staying. He had even had a ride up and down on the fluffy bed before his mom did. He had pushed the button on the control by himself. Wendy Bishop, his teacher, had it was like old stuff when he went to the nursery with his dad to see his own baby. So taken him and his classmates to the big nursery window to see the babies, all snuggled in their cozy, glass boxes. So it was like old stuff when he went to the nursery with his dad to see his own baby. Teacher Wendy showed Adam how to wash his hands before holding a new baby. He stood on a stool so he could scrub with soap all the way to his elbows (just like the doctors do) and not just to his wrists. This is so the baby doesnt get any germs. Babies dont go home from the hospital and sink their mouths into a Big Mac, Wendy explained. They dont have any teeth, so they just drink milk for awhile. Sometimes Adam can help feed his baby. Putting a diaper on the baby is too hard for Adam to do alone, but he can help because he knows how it is done sort of. He helped the teacher, put a diaper on his favorite stuffed lion, Leo. She also put a plastic bracelet around Leos ankle, just like the one the nurses at the hospital put on his baby after it was born. This was to make sure that this baby was the right one for his mom to take home. Even though Mom spends a lot of time taking care of the new baby, Adam knows that he himself is an important person because he is a certified big brother. His parents are Joel C. and Elana Barrow, 121 E. 6850 South. The big brothersister class is held at the hospital twice each month. - A HAND . . .

Pelvic reconstruction, a surgical procedure offered at University of Utah Hospital for women suffering from gynecologic cancer, helps end the complaint: The cancer was cured, but the patient didnt feel life was worth living. For women with vulvar cancer, surgery can be very mutilating, said Christopher Jolles, M.D., assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology and head of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at the University of Utah Health Sciences Center. Sexual activity often is rendered impossible. Now we can plan for reconstruction at the time of surgery to accomplish sexual rehabilitation, he said. While operating to remove cancerous tissues, Dr. Jolles reconstructs the pelvic area, using skin grafts from the womans legs and lower abdomen. Benefits of the surgery are more tions manager.

Bringing tissues from a normal area, which isnt damaged from previous treatment, to an area where youve removed tissue may actually improve the healing process, he explained. Pelvic reconstructive surgery is one of several specialized treatments offered by the UofU gynecologic oncology program, directed by Dr. Jolles and Kathy Rodman, R.N., gynecologic oncology nurse specialist. In addition to treating cancer, they are concerned with the pyscho-logicand social aspects of therapy for women suffering from cancer of the ovaries, uterus, vulva, cervix, placenta and vagina. These forms of cancer are rather rare: 4 percent of American women develop uteran cancer, 1 percent ovarian cancer and .5 percent contract cervical cancer. Patients range from 20 - 90 years old, however, so you have to really individualize treatment, noted Ms. Rodman. woman with For a several young children at home, Dr. Jolles and Ms. Rodman will design a therapy program that allows the patient to spend as much time as possible with her family. For an old widow, they will insure she has someone to stay with her and provide care. One of the programs allowing for such flexibility is outpatient chemotherapy. Whereas most women with gynecologic cancer are hospitalized for two to three days to receive chemotherapy, patients at University Hospital can be treated in six hours at the outpatient clinic. There is no one standard protocol. Some patients receive one injection daily for five consecutive days with the next seven off, while others receive one multiple injection every three to four weeks. Outpatient chemotherapy allows most patients to work or at least part-timrather than devoting a year of their life to getting chemotherapy, said Dr. Jolles. The psychological barrier of being brought to the hosptial, the anticipation, the waiting is gone. The continuity of care also helps the patient emotionally, added Ms. Rodman. Were able to treat all r- full-tim- e, stages of the disease from diagnosis through stabilization or cure. Ms. Rodman administers all chemotherapy herself in a room specially furnished with a lounge chair, television and magazines to encourage relaxation. Often, a husband or other relative will visit with the patient as she embroiders or knits. Were finding that psychological reactions determine patients responses to chemotherapy more a than medications, noted Dr. Jolles anti-nause- Since the outpatient chemotherapy program began two years ago, he and Ms Rodman have been investigating which drugs are the most effective against nausea, a common side effect of chemotherapy. Eleven patients have received platinum, adnmycin and cytoxan, the most nauseating drugs, with different agents added. Questionnaires, anxiety profiles and observation are used to test the womens psychological reactions.
