Community Cat

Connection

Yoda

Yoda, my name is, and fall head over heels for me, you will! So maybe I'm not THAT Yoda, but I do have some special abilities, which include (but are not limited to) power-eating, irresistibly cute purr-meows, and a bright eyed come-hither snuggle-me stare that is not unlike a Jedi mind trick. I've also won countless titles across the galaxy for being the most lovable roly poly in my weight class! You'll see what I mean when I flop onto my back and show you my belly. I should probably mention that I am a proper Lady of only six years, just in case my name gave you a different impression. Anyway, as much as I would relish a lap to melt into and a window to gaze out of, what I need most is unconditional love and a tender heart who will be patient with me. It's been too long since I've had a true home and I get a little touchy at times, so I would especially like to have cat-sensitive purrents who don't have any youngsters running around. I know I can be the apple of your eye if you'll come see me, so I'll expect you as soon as the doors open! You are my only hope, and I AM the cat you're looking for.

Are You Prepared for Hurricane Season and Other Storm Emergencies?

(StatePoint) Hurricane season is in full swing, running from June through November. Unfortunately, no one can stop a tropical storm or hurricane from happening and both types of weather events are increasingly impacting larger portions of the U.S. However, there are steps you can take that will help you weather a storm and better ensure the safety of your family.

Be sure to keep your phone fully charged as long as your home has power and consider having an external battery pack on hand as well.

• Assemble an emergency supply kit that includes water, flashlights, nonperishable food, first-aid supplies, • Gather and protect important batteries, a radio and medication. household documentation, including birth certificates, • Create a family emergency plan passports, marriage licenses, and make sure everyone knows mortgage statements, deeds, what to do and when. insurance policies and medical files.

But rates of vaccination among U.S. adults remain low, lagging well behind expert recommendations and federal goals. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends that all adults 65 years or older receive pneumococcal vaccination.

If you are 65 or older, talk to your doctor to see if you are up to date on your CDC-recommended adult vaccinations, and take a personal risk assessment at Lung.org/ pneumococcal, developed by the American Lung Association in partnership with Pfizer.

A guide for health and well-being for you and your family. Eye conditions that can affect children While a loss of visual acuity is often associated with senior citizens, various diseases and conditions of the eye can affect children. The American Academy of Opthalmology says many conditions and diseases can impact a child’s vision. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical to improving a youngster’s eye health and helping him or her see and feel better. Learning about certain conditions and how to recognize their accompanying symptoms can help parents ensure kids get the treatment they need. Amblyopia Often referred to as “lazy eye,” amblyopia may be characterized by reduced vision in an eye that has not

received adequate use during early childhood. Amblyopia may result from misalignment of a child’s eyes or from one eye focusing better than the other. If left untreated, the weaker eye can continue to weaken until it is rendered useless. Sight in the affected eye can be restored if treatment is begun early, says Prevent Blindness America. Glasses, eye exercises or surgery may be prescribed to help fix the underlying causes of the condition. Astigmatism Astigmatism is a condition wherein objects viewed at both a distance and close up can appear blurry. Experts say it occurs from the uneven curvature of the cornea or lens, which prevents rays of light from entering the eye and focusing on a single point on the retina, otherwise known as a refractive

error. Prescription eyeglasses often fix astigmatism. All About Vision also says that refractive surgery may correct astigmatism. Color blindness (color vision deﬁciency) The main symptom of color blindness is difficulty distinguishing between colors or making mistakes when identifying colors, particularly those shaded red and green. Typically by age five, children with normal color vision will be able to identify groups of colors, so if a school-aged child is having difficulty or showing disinterest in coloring, he or she may benefit from a colorblindness test. The National Eye Institute says color blindness is much more common in males than in females.

can be symptoms. Medication and surgery are required in most cases.

Strabismus Strabismus is a condition of misaligned eyes. It occurs when the eye muscles fail to work together and the eyes turn inward, outward, upward, or downward. By the age of three to four months, an infant’s eyes should be able to focus and be straight and parallel.

A guide for health and well-being for you and your family. 5 baby formula myths debunked (BPT) - The MythBusters on TV's Discovery channel tackled hundreds - if not thousands - of myths in their 19 seasons on the air, but many questions still surround one topic never covered: infant feeding. Baby feeding has many pervasive myths, especially about infant formula. Here are five of those myths debunked by Rallie McAllister, MD, MPH, family physician and co-author of The Mommy MD Guide to Your Baby's First Year: Myth 1: Breast is best. Fact: It depends on the mother and her baby. Baby formulas are a completely acceptable, doctorapproved and time-tested option when feeding baby. Breastfeeding is hard. It seems like it should be natural and easy, but so often it isn't. A recent study conducted by Perrigo Nutritionals found more than half of moms experience issues when it comes to breastfeeding baby with low breast milk supply being the top concern. Additionally,

while only 18 percent of new moms expect to introduce infant formula to baby during the first three days of life, in reality 45 percent relied on infant formula during those first days. If you experience breastfeeding challenges, look to formula as an ally - it can be used as a supplement while breastfeeding to provide some relief or used exclusively depending on mom and baby's needs. Also, know that you can find help and support. Consider talking with a friend who has nursed her babies, your pediatrician, a lactation consultant or a local La Leche League.

Or if you're "old school," wash them in hot, soapy water. Rinse them carefully to remove any soap residue.

his or her formula at a consistent temperature. In other words, if you start warming it you'll probably have to continue warming it.

Myth 3: Babies prefer warm formula. Fact: Not necessarily. It's perfectly fine to feed your baby formula at room temperature (as long as it's freshly prepared), or even a little cool from the refrigerator. Your baby is most likely to prefer

Here's an easy way to warm your baby's bottle: Set the filled bottle in a container of warm water and let it stand for a few minutes. Check the temperature of the formula on the inside of your wrist before feeding it to your baby. It should feel lukewarm, not hot.

TUE., WED. & FRI. 9AM-6PM THURS. 10AM-7PM â&#x20AC;˘ SAT. 8AM-3PM

Myth 2: You have to sterilize your baby's bottles. Fact: You do not need to sterilize your baby's bottles. This is another time saver for you! You should sterilize new bottles and nipples before you use them for the first time. Simply put them in boiling water for five minutes. After that first time, however, you probably don't need to sterilize them again.

A guide for health and well-being for you and your family. Myth 4: Measuring formula isn't a big deal - just "eyeball it." Fact: The instructions for preparing your baby's formula are important. Follow the directions on the label carefully. If you put too little water in your baby's formula, it can give baby dehydration or diarrhea. If you put too much water in the formula, you're watering it down and your baby isn't getting enough nutrients. It's critical to measure carefully each and every time. Myth 5: Brand-name formula is best. Fact: Nationally advertised, brandname formula and store-brand formula are practically identical but have different effects on your family budget! Did you know all infant formulas sold in the United States must meet the same FDA standards and offer complete nutrition for baby? That means

store-brand formula is nutritionally comparable to nationally advertised brands. In fact, store-brand formula is clinically proven to support baby's growth and development and proven to be just as well tolerated by your baby as those other brands. So, what's the main difference? Store-brand formulas cost less because they don't spend millions of dollars on marketing. Think about all the ads you see on TV and all the samples that get handed out in doctors' offices. In the case of those big brands, those marketing costs are passed on to you in the form of a higher price tag on each container of formula. Once you get into the groove of feeding your baby, it will all feel like second nature. And then it will almost be time to give up the bottle!

During this visit you should ask for a referral to an allergist close to where you're going to college, as well as a complete copy of your records, including medications, lab work and allergy arrangements for your dorm room test results. and meals.

"For most teens, going away to college marks their first time living on their own," says allergist Bradley Chipps, MD, president of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI). "In addition to moving to a new place, many teens must learn to manage their own schedule, diet, exercise and health. Young people may find their allergies and asthma neglected due to other, seemingly 3.

5. Have an emergency plan Anyone at risk for a severe, lifethreatening allergic reaction, known as anaphylaxis, needs to always have immediate access to epinephrine auto injectors. Almost every fatality from food allergy involves lack of timely use of epinephrine. Even when you're at the gym or out with friends, find a way to keep two doses of epinephrine on hand. Allergists are the best trained professionals to diagnose and treat allergies and asthma. To make sure you're fully prepared for the fall, contact your allergist or, if you need help finding one, visit the ACAAI allergist locator.
