This is the 2nd Annual Memorial dinner that the Brandon Soccer League is hosting in
memory of Pierce Allan Helms. Baby Pierce was born October 26, 2009 with a heart defect. At the time, Mississippi hospitals were not medically able to help Pierce. We flew from Missis-sippi to Washington D.C. for surgery and then to Little Rock, Arkansas to wait for a heart transplant. Pierce passed away while waiting for his
new heart. This dinner is to continue to raise money for our Batson Hospital Cardiac unit, which now is proud to say that they have heart
surgeons and a transplant team. It has only been two years since Pierce was born and so many changes have happened. Lets continue to help our ONLY CHILDRENS HOSPITAL in Mississippi. All proceeds from this dinner go to The Batson Cardiac unit. Tickets are $20.00 in advance and $25.00 at the door. This covers your dinner that is by Annie D's, concert, and many great speakers form Batson Hospital on February

“I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart)
I am never without it (anywhere I go you go, my dear;
and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my
darling)
I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no
world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and
it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and
whatever a sun will always sing is you
Here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the
root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of
the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)”
― E.E. Cummings
13 | The Richland Record | February 2012
I learned about Congenital Heart Defects (the #1 birth defect worldwide!) when my youngest son was born and I was told , quote, “your son has a lousy heart.” Those words were followed by, “there is nothing we can do, take him home and enjoy him.” Okay, I am thinking, “it’s 2008, what do you MEAN, you can’t fix his heart!?” People in general perceive CHD’s to be something like a minor hole in the heart, something that can be grown into, or “fixed”. The reality is that these children, SOME of them have the option of surgery, but not without lots of risk. Christopher is one of the ones that surgery isn’t an option for. His condition of dilated left ventricular non compacted cardiomyopathy means that that when a fetus is in utero, their heart is sponge-like ?(non-compacted)?. When they are ready to be born the heart will compact and become more solidified like a muscle. CJ’s heart did not do that - resulting in the cardiomyopathy (weakness of the heart). It affects his right and left ventricles where it is very hard for his heart to pump and function correctly. Nothing is missing, out of place, or backwards. It’s the whole heart, all big, stretched out, and stiff. We took him home at 45 days of age and he was admitted into hospice the next day. The doctors told us that his prognosis was six months or less. We had to learn to accept that each day may be his last. It is a very hard thing looking into your beautiful child’s huge eyes and knowing he is just on loan for a short while. God is the only reason I made it through that period of time, and I never let go of my faith that God would make my baby whole and it was a win win situation for him no matter what. The footprints prayer, well that was me, God literally carried me through. I remember people saying "they don’t know how I could sleep at night". Well, in the beginning it wasn’t easy and the pulse ox was a huge comfort as I could listen to it beep and know his heart was still beating. But somewhere along the way, I grew more confident, and eventually the pulse ox got dusty and I felt peace in knowing that Christopher was going to be okay. Some people called it denial, some people called it an amazing act of faith - I tend to agree with the latter. I trusted God and with that trust came the biggest peace that is very hard to describe. We celebrated Christopher’s birthday weekly and monthly, cake and all. Eventually, his expiration date came and went, he still remained a hospice patient, and we were still taking it one day at a time. His first birthday arrived and I cannot express to you the joy I felt that whole MONTH. The day we were promised NEVER to see was here!!! We had a huge celebration, and continued to give all honor and praise to the Lord. Christopher continued to get older and when he was 15 months old his hospice nurse decided it was time to take a look at his heart (we weren’t allowed any more ECHO's) with Christopher being a hospice patient and they “didn’t want to keep getting our hopes up”. The doctor told us that his heart had slightly improved but that he was still hospice status. Two days later we received a call from him that our visit left him feeling like it wasn’t finished and he took another look at his ECHO. He also had all of his colleagues review it and Christo-pher’s heart had improved so much that in his good conscience, he could not recertify him for hospice! Okay after trying to put into words how I felt on his birthday, this is even more difficult to describe. Our language does not have a strong enough word. I can tell you that God does reward trust and faith and Christopher is a living breathing example. In February 2010, it was discov-ered that Barth Syndrome is the cause of Christopher's cardiomyopathy. Barth syndrome is a rare, sex-linked genetic disorder of lipid metabolism that affects males. Typically, boys with Barth syndrome present with hypertonia (low muscle tone) and dilated cardiomyopathy (labored breathing, poor appetite, and/or slow weight gain) at or within the first few months after birth. Other important features of Barth syndrome include bacterial infections because of neutropenia (a reduction in the number of white blood cells called neutrophils), muscle weakness, fatigue, and short stature. Although most children with Barth syndrome manifest all of these characteristics, some have only one or two of these abnormalities and, as a result, often are given incorrect diagnoses. It is very rare, less than 200 known cases worldwide. So much that if people would hold hands from one end of the world, all of the way around, only one of those people would be a boy with Barth syndrome. There is no specific treatment for Barth syndrome, but each of the individual problems can be successfully controlled. We are currently fundraising to attend the 2012 BSF family and medical conference June 25- 30 in St Pete beach, FL. Scientific & medical sessions provide updates on the latest info regarding Barth syndrome; family sessions that consist of 2 days of clinics staffed by Barth syndrome experts for families to learn about the latest care for those with this condition. There are opportunities to contribute to research by participating in Barth syn-drome medical database and bio repository. Theses resources are not usually accessible to most families dealing with Barth syndrome. However by bringing a team of experts to one location, families can benefit from the multitude of experience gathered in one location for the days of this conference. Our attendance will ultimately advance the awareness, diagnosis and treatments for children suffering from Barth syndrome. Christopher is now 3 years and 8 months old, his 4th birthday is rapidly approaching and I am basking in every minute with him. I still know better than to take for granted my time with him as we don’t know when god will call us home. It is a true miracle that my Christopher is alive today. God is still in the miracle business. Also, doctors have to tell you what they have learned in the text books, but that doesn’t mean God or the child in question is reading that same book. I don’t know God’s plan, but I know that the least I can do is to con-tinue to honor and praise Him, while also helping to spread CHD awareness. I could not stress enough for pregnant moms to educate themselves on pulse oximetry screening, I believe this was an instrument in saving Christopher's life shortly after birth! MORE ON BARTH SYNDROME: The main symptoms of Barth syndrome include: Cardiomyopathy dilated or hypertrophic sometimes with left ventricular non-compaction and/or endocardia fibroelastosis Neutropenia chronic, cyclic or intermittent Skeletal myopathy with general fatigue Growth delay that can be substantial until late teenage years What is Barth syndrome? Please note that there is great variability between different patients. There is also great variability with regard to any single individual over time. Car-diomyopathy and/or neutropenia may not always be present at diagnosis and may vary with age. Boys with Barth syndrome often look deceptively healthy Major clinical problems Congestive heart failure Gross motor delay Growth delay until late teenage years Exercise intolerance, lack of stamina Risk of serious bacterial infections Risk of fatal arrhythmia Other clinical observations Fetal death / stillbirth Feeding problems Frequent diarrhea Recurrent mouth ulcers Hypoglycemia, especially during early childhood Characteristic facial appearance (large ears, deep set eyes, myopathic facies), nasal quality to speech, waddling gait, positive Gower’s sign High incidence of minor congenital malformations Osteoporosis Chronic headache and body aches, especially during puberty Mild learning disabilities Cardiolipin abnormalities 3-methylglutaconic aciduriaYou can read more about Barth syndrome at http://www.barthsyndromefoundation.org/And you can follow updates on Christopher here: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/cj08/mystory Written by: Kristi Pena
