No April Fools News: Tax Season Is Upon Us!
www.ReferralsHelpKids.com

TAX DAY — UGH!!!

I recently read where we were working from January 1st through June 30th of each year to pay all of our taxes.  Before that, 100% goes to the government in some form or fashion. It pays for some kind of government worker, work program, social program, defense, project,  health care, common good. Whatever you want to call it, April 15th is TAX day, the deadline for filing your federal income taxes. | PDF

So in celebration of this particular time of year, let’s talk TAX relief. If you received last month’s letter from me, you would recall our goal of trying to raise $25,000.00 for Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles, CHLA. But – we need your help, and I believe you can benefit from the TAX relief.

Just down the street from where I am typing this, Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles has a whole house of kids fighting for their lives. For them and their parents’ taxes are not “top of mind,” health is. Living is. Surviving is. As you may have heard, Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles is front and center in the fight against nasty diseases that destroy or cut short the lives of Children. We are thankful to have such a fantastic facility close by, doing such great work to help heal and save young people.  So even though we are trying to figure out how much we owe the taxman, many are simply hoping they can be here to actually pay taxes. So we here at Entar have resolved to do what we can to help.

Please know that my team and I are eager to help anyone you know wanting to make a move. So much so that we are willing to make an offer that your referrals will LOVE – AND – the Kids at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles will love too. 

Your referrals help the kids!

If you or a friend are thinking about selling, make sure to choose a real estate company you can trust! A real estate company with experience, proven results, and a give-back philosophy!

Why I support Childrenʼs Hospital Los Angeles

I grew up right here in the Greater Los Angeles Area, born in Los Angeles County at St. Francis Hospital. I remember when I first heard about a young person close to our family suffering from a nasty disease and getting treated for that at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. It was then that I began to pay closer attention to the work they do at that hospital. Since then, I have learned that it is a collection of hard-working health care professionals, most making their home right here in the Los Angeles area, all coming together for a common cause. That cause is to help young people overcome unfortunate health issues that life sometimes throws our way. Being a Los Angeles Area California native, I take pride in supporting in a way that I can do the good work these people do at Children’s. My team rallies around our annual goal of raising money and donating portions of our income to help Children’s in their quest to heal young people when they need healing. My team and I are committed to providing outstanding results for buyers and sellers referred to us by our past clients. I have discovered that Children’s Hospital Los Angeles shares a similar commitment to their patients. And since their services survive on sponsorships and donations, we are happy to contribute and proud to support them.

Sincerely,

Corey Chambers

After a Broken Arm, Parker Is Back In the Swing of Things

The 5-year-old’s family credits a team of fracture experts at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles for helping their daughter recover from a playground accident.

By Candace Pearson

 It was a fine June day when 5-year-old Parker made her confident way across the monkey bars at her local park when her hands suddenly slipped and—bam!—down she went. Parker landed on her right arm and didn’t get up.

Parker’s parents, Christy and Justin, rushed her to a nearby urgent care facility where a doctor determined that she had broken her upper arm bone (humerus), just above her elbow. Finding out later that this is one of the most common breaks in children Parker’s age was small comfort to her parents. Their child was hurt and needed help. Parker’s recollection is a bit more straightforward: “I fell. I broke my arm. I cried for about 20 minutes.” The urgent care staff recommended immediate transfer to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, where a dedicated team of pediatric orthopedic experts takes care of thousands of children with broken bones every year. “All children with broken bones—whether they need surgery or not—benefit from seeing a pediatric specialist,” says Robert M. Kay, MD, Medical Director of the Children’s Orthopaedic Center, which has been consistently recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of the nation’s best pediatric orthopedic programs. “Our entire staff is incredibly experienced in caring for children, and that makes all the difference in the outcome.” That’s not the only difference. “Children’s Hospital took what was an unexpected event for us and made it so much easier with their knowledge and their procedures,” says Parker’s dad, Justin. “As a parent, you hope you never need Children’s Hospital, but you’re relieved you’re there.”

Kids Come First

Justin and Christy especially appreciated that they were “Mom and Dad” to the hospital staff, who made Parker their No. 1 focus and empowered her by asking for her opinions. “They brought the calm,” says Christy. The pediatric facility has been designed with kids in mind—from the bright primary colors to the fish tanks, cartoon characters, and videos—but the child-centric philosophy goes beyond the physical environment. “We involve the child in what is happening to them and treat them respectfully,” says Dr. Kay. Parker couldn’t agree more. “The doctors and nurses were really nice,” she reports. In any given year, 2-3% of children sustain a fracture, and they are the fourth most common injury among children under the age of 6. The most common cause: falls, with the most serious breaks, usually resulting from car crashes. The Children’s Orthopaedic Center’s the full spectrum of broken bones, from commonplace to complex. The staff includes pediatric orthopaedists and surgeons, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, radiology technicians, and cast technicians. Also on hand are in-house occupational therapists and orthotic specialists, who provide custom-fitted crutches, boots, and braces as needed. The Fracture Clinic handles care for patients with broken bones who don’t require surgery, which accounts for about 95% of cases in the Children’s Orthopaedic Center. Parker was part of the other 5% who need surgery and are treated by the Center’s pediatric orthopedic surgeons. 

 

When surgery is the answer

“You train to become a pediatric orthopedic specialist to be able to identify that small percentage of cases where a broken bone needs surgery, and without that intervention, the child could lose form and function of the limb,” explains Parker’s surgeon, Nina Lightdale-Miric, MD, Director of the Pediatric Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery Program. All of that expertise is critical because children’s bodies are still developing, making them particularly vulnerable to  fractures that can occur at or near the growth plates at the ends of bones, which Dr. Lightdale-Miric calls “bone-making factories.” While a child’s bones are more fragile, they’re also more rubbery than an adult’s. They crack but don’t separate. “They’re like brand new green twigs,” says Dr. Lightdale-Miric. “At the end of the tree limb, the twigs bend but don’t snap.” The danger is, if a fracture is severe or a growth plate doesn’t heal properly, the bone could stop growing or grow at an angle, creating a disability. “If you are not a kid specialist, you can’t see what a kid specialist can see,” says Dr. Lightdale-Miric. “The more experienced you are, the better you are at getting children back on the playground and onto successful lives.”

An exceptional level of care

Parker went into surgery the morning after her arrival at Children’s Hospital and everything went smoothly. She even got to pick out the colors of her cast—pink, which is her favorite, and orange, her mom’s, with a sprinkling of purple glitter. At every step, the family felt well cared for. A discharge nurse expedited medication at the hospital pharmacy and gave the family a schedule of follow-up visits over the next eight weeks. Volunteers walked the parents everywhere they had to go throughout the brief stay. “We weren’t some special case,” says Parker’s dad, Justin. “This is the level of care everyone receives.” “We can’t thank the staff enough for all the thoughtful ways they cared for Parker and for us,” adds Christy. For Dr. Lightdale-Miric, gratitude goes both ways.  “Patients like Parker make me a better doctor,” she says. 

Looking forward

Because Parker was seen at an experienced pediatric institution, she and other kids like her enjoy certain advantages. Patients treated by the Fracture Clinic’s experts typically wear their cast for a shorter amount of time and have a better chance of regaining full motor function and a lower risk of needing additional surgery. “The next week they checked on me, and the next week they checked and the next,” Parker said in a video she recorded to help other children not fear the hospital. Parker is happily back on the playground today, stronger than ever. “It’s okay now,” she says of her arm. “Is this cast going to go on my arm again? No thank you, cast!”

Boo! Halloween Greetings from the Corey Chambers Team
Boo! Halloween Greetings from the Corey Chambers Team

The month of October can be a spooky month, maybe even a scary month with monstrous problems. Yikes!! Well maybe not, but words like that seem to be popping up everywhere as kids and adults alike look forward to Halloween.
In fact, according to The USA Today, adults spend more on themselves to celebrate Halloween than any other day during the year. I get that. Especially if they want to hang out with the kids to go trick or treating, or to a Halloween party of some kind.  For many homeowners and homebuyers though, they are truly scared. Scared to death of how in the world they are going to get out of their house and into their next one (the trick).  My Treat: As a result of working with Many families over a 20-year time span, we have developed a special program to help home sellers and homebuyers. We will guarantee the sale of their present home at a price agreeable to them and in the unlikely event their home does not sell, we’ll buy it. Now that is a how you turn a trick into a real treat.  |  VIDEO

Hemophilia hasn’t slowed down 3-year-old Braxton — thanks to doctors from CHLA

By Matt Villano

Your Referrals Help Kids

Roughly 20,000 people in the United States live with hemophilia, a bleeding disorder in which blood lacks the requisite protein to clot normally. Few have lived with the condition for as much of their lives as 3-year-old Braxton.

Braxton was diagnosed within days of his birth. Since then, doctors from Children’s Hospital Los Angeles have worked tirelessly to ensure that he and his Woodland Hills, California, family live relatively normal lives. The journey hasn’t been easy, but his parents, Brenda and Marty, say they’re thankful for the expert care—and gentle education—CHLA doctors and nurses have given them along the way.

“There were times when this has been scary and we’ve had no idea how we were going to get through it,” says Brenda. “Today we’re the parents of a happy and relatively healthy little boy.”

Early detection, diagnosis

CHLA Your Referrals Help Kids!
CHLA Your Referrals Help Kids!

Braxton was born with a big bump on his head—a curious symptom that prompted his pediatrician to send him to CHLA for further evaluation. Within two hours, Emergency Department doctors figured out he had hemophilia.

Braxton and his family were referred to Guy Young, MD, Director of CHLA’s Hemostasis and Thrombosis Center and Attending Physician in the Division of Hematology, Oncology and Blood and Marrow Transplantation.

Dr. Young diagnosed Braxton with severe hemophilia, the most common type of the disorder. At the baby’s three-month check-up, he noted that the biggest concern for Braxton was bleeding on his brain, a condition that could create pressure in his skull and cause brain damage or death. The doctor then explained to Brenda and Marty what symptoms a young baby would exhibit during a bleed: inconsolable crying, refusal to eat, swelling in the joints. In a shocking coincidence, Braxton began exhibiting some of the symptoms at home that very night.

Brenda and Marty brought him back to CHLA, where doctors determined that he was experiencing two separate brain bleeds. Luckily for Braxton, Dr. Young and his team were able to respond immediately.

“We have that discussion [about symptoms and what to expect] with every hemophilia family and every year we get a few patients who come in with bleeding around their brains,” said Dr. Young, who also serves as Director of CHLA’s Clinical Coagulation Laboratory and Professor of Pediatrics at the Keck School of Medicine of USC. “I’m not sure we’ve ever had a patient come in with strong symptoms like that on the same day.”

Dr. Young and his team came up with a treatment plan. Patients with hemophilia are missing a protein in their blood—a protein colloquially referred to as Factor 8. This protein helps blood coagulate and clot—when it’s absent, you bleed longer before your body recovers.

The most common treatment for patients missing Factor 8 is to introduce a synthetic version of it; initially doctors (and later Brenda and Marty) administered this medicine through a Broviac line. Eventually, around his 10-month birthday, Braxton had surgery to put a port in the right side of his chest. Currently, Brenda and Marty inject the protein here every 48 hours or so.

Adjusting to a new reality

Your Referrals Help Kids at CHLA

Because Braxton was diagnosed at such an early age, Brenda and Marty were able to incorporate day-to-day realities of his treatment into their lives as parents of four. Grappling with the psychological and emotional aspects of raising a child with hemophilia was much more of a slog.

 

 

Education came first. Though hemophilia is congenital and passed along the mother’s lineage, Brenda had no family history of the disorder and therefore no experience with it. Her only knowledge of hemophilia was in relation to Ryan White, a patient in the early 1980s who contracted HIV during a blood transfusion. Marty didn’t even know that much—until he started reading literature from Dr. Young and the National Hemophilia Foundation online.

While this material broadened their knowledge, it also spiked their anxiety. Babies are curious by nature, and sometimes they fall. Both Brenda and Marty became terrified that any little scrape or bruise would trigger a complicated bleed that threatened Braxton’s well-being and required immediate hospitalization. They envisioned a kid growing up in kneepads and helmets.

“I remember thinking, ‘How are we going to keep this kid alive without sticking him in a bubble?’” says Brenda, 36. “I was truly terrified.”

The more they read, however, the more comfortable they became. One piece of literature said it’s good for hemophilia patients to lift weights and be active. Another encouraged parents of kids with hemophilia to back off while kids learn balance and how to walk. Marty joined some support groups where other parents shared stories that put his mind at ease.

Even Dr. Young shared some reassuring news.

“Severe hemophilia is manageable,” he said. “With the exceptions of having to do regular treatments and having to be vigilant about signs and symptoms of bleeding, patients with hemophilia can live relatively normal lives.”

One of the only things Braxton won’t be able to do: Play contact sports. For Marty, 32, a football fanatic and football coach at a Los Angeles-area high school, this was tough news to digest.

Marty admits he had dreamed of Braxton playing football, and immediately struggled with the reality that these dreams never would come true. Marty kept most of these struggles to himself. Then, one day, after a regular check-up at CHLA, he came face-to-face with the need to let them go.

“We walked out of the hospital room, out the double doors and right by a little girl who was very sick and whose mom looked like she hadn’t slept in weeks,” says Marty, looking back. “In that moment, I recognized I was being so stupid and selfish about football. I realized I just needed to be happy Braxton was going to be OK.”

What’s next

Since those first two brain bleeds, the 3-year-old hasn’t had another.

At some point, Braxton will need another surgery to remove his port; from that point forward Brenda and Marty will have to decide if they want to put in a new port or switch to a new medication that necessitates only one shot per month.

Today, Braxton runs, jumps, climbs, swims, and dances like any other toddler. He’s super-happy. He chases his siblings—who are 12, 10, and 9. He falls down. He gets scratches and cuts. Sometimes he even bruises. With the help of his medicine, each of these minor scrapes and bruises has healed perfectly and uneventfully. And so long as Brenda and Marty watch Braxton for signs of internal bleeding, Dr. Young believes the boy should be fine.

And Brenda and Marty certainly will remain vigilant. The two have become active members of the local hemophilia community, and were outspoken participants in raising awareness in conjunction with National Bleeding Disorder Month this past March. Both parents say they are committed to never letting their son’s condition define him.

“We don’t ever want him to think he’s different from other kids or that he can’t do things other kids can do,” says Brenda.

Marty agrees.

“There’s a little helicopter parent in all of us, and if you have a kid with hemophilia, you’re always going to be worried about the worst thing happening,” he says. “The reality is that every kid needs to learn to fail.”
