Celebrate ‘Your’ Independence… TOO! | Blog Video

^{July 4th 1776 is a momentous day in history for all FREE}

Owning real estate, especially your own home, is a sure-fire celebration of independence. In today’s market, many homeowners really want to make a move but are finding themselves in a catch-22 – whether to sell first or buy first. They don’t want to end up getting stuck owning two homes or none at all. I am sure you will join me in saying we can’t blame them. I also believe that you agree that this is true for ourselves and others; homeownership is good for ALL. The more who can buy a home, the more who can sell a home, the more our economy benefits. And as Jimmy Carter said, “To be true to ourselves, we must be true to others.

Fortunately, I have a special program for Home Owners wanting to move and Buyers wanting to buy in Today’s market that turns the tables on this CATCH 22.

Over the last 20+ years of selling real estate, I have been able to develop and successfully implement a program that allows me to guarantee the sale of a property. Yep, you read that right. Actually guarantee in writing the sale of a home. Obviously, a program like this gives sellers GREAT PEACE OF MIND (a true celebration of independence from fear). I guarantee, upfront and in writing, that if their home does not sell at their price and within their time frame – I will step in and buy it myself.

The conditions are simple: the seller and I must agree on the price and possession date. Buyers benefit too because we are able to ensure they get the home they want and back up their purchase with a satisfaction guarantee: if they are not happy with the home, we will buy it back. This obviously is a win-win for all involved.

This is where you come in.

Your friends, neighbors, work associates, and family members who may be considering a move can now do so and celebrate true independence from the fear of getting stuck with two homes or none at all. And remember… Your referrals help the Children… As I share with you each month, we are on a mission to raise $25,000 for the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles Helping Hands Fund. We do this by donating a portion of our income. Children’s does great work in helping kids overcome cancer and other life-threatening diseases. In fact, Kids under their care are 300% more likely to enter into remission IF they can get into the recovery center. BUT the Recovery Center depends on Sponsorships and Donations to keep rolling. So, YOUR REFERRALS REALLY DO HELP THE KIDS…

Why I Support Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles

I grew up right here in Los Angeles. Born right nearby 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 any way that I can 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 Hospital in its 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 similar commitments to their patients. And since their services survive on sponsorships and donations we are happy to contribute and proud to support them.

A Baby Girl Makes a Comeback

By Marla Lehner | Note: Names have been changed to protect patient privacy.

Ann was born perfectly healthy at a local community hospital, but about 90 minutes later something unthinkable happened: When a nurse came to check on her, Ann was discovered completely unresponsive. She had stopped breathing and gone into cardiac arrest.

“They don’t know how long she’d been like that,” says her mom, Janet. “They couldn’t revive her, so they intubated her and put her on a ventilator—and gave me a pretty bleak outlook.”

Determined to find the best care for her newborn, Janet began calling her network of friends and family members. A friend referred her to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. That evening, she spoke to Philippe Friedlich, MD, MSEpi, MBA, Chief of the Division of Neonatology and co-Director of the Fetal and Neonatal Institute at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. He arranged for Ann to be transported to CHLA.

“The transport team is incredible,” says Janet. “They totally checked Ann out before they would move her. It wasn’t like they just came to pick her up; they knew what they were doing right out of the gate.”

Because Ann had been deprived of oxygen, she was immediately put on hypothermia therapy—known as brain cooling—a neuroprotective treatment that lowers a baby’s body temperature to 92.3 degrees Fahrenheit and reduces the risk of brain injury. CHLA is a leader in studying the impact of brain cooling on infants.

“What CHLA has that some hospitals don’t is a neurocritical care team and a comprehensive program tailored for babies at risk of neurological injuries,” says Dr. Friedlich, who holds the Teresa and Byron Pollitt Family Chair in Fetal and Neonatal Medicine. “We have specially trained neonatologists and neurologists who can come to the bedside 24/7, and more advanced interventions than any other place.”

A waiting game

“Ann came to CHLA really sick,” recalls Tai-Wei Wu, MD, Director of the Therapeutic Hypothermia Program. “She had severe lactic acidosis as a result of low oxygen or blood flow. She was supported on a breathing machine and multiple medications to stabilize her vital signs. Even before arriving at CHLA, neuroprotection by cooling was started, which is crucial because we know to cool as early as possible after injury improves outcomes.”

Doctors at CHLA also performed an MRI on Ann—a feat few institutions are capable of doing on a newborn during brain cooling.

“We pride ourselves on the ability to safely bring patients to the MRI suite while they are receiving neuroprotective treatment,” says Dr. Wu. “Importantly, we were able to rule out other brain pathologies that could mimic Ann’s condition. Using advanced neuroimaging techniques, we were also able to quantify brain temperature and confirm that brain cooling was effective. This is precision medicine at its best.”

Due to Ann’s critical condition, Janet was not able to hold her for over a week, so she waited by her daughter’s side in the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation Newborn and Infant Critical Care Unit (NICCU).

“I didn’t know if she was going to live the first week,” she says. “I was just floating through that time.”

Still, Janet says she knew her baby was getting extraordinary care. “In the NICCU, there are a lot of other kids that look like yours, with a serious condition, so you know the doctors and nurses know how to treat your child.”

Ann “has a superstar personality,” says her doctor, Tai-Wei Wu, MD. 

A thorough evaluation

Once Ann was warmed up, she slowly regained consciousness. Over the next three weeks, Ann was seen by specialists in cardiology, pulmonology, neurology, audiology and much more.

“CHLA offers nearly every pediatric medical specialty, and a major strength is the training and experience of our nursing staff in neurocritical care,” says Dr. Friedlich.

Ann’s care team worked to determine any potential cause for what had gone wrong after her birth, even though there were no complications during delivery.

“We went through extensive testing to make sure her cardiorespiratory systems were normal, which also included her ability to regulate breathing during sleep,” says Dr. Wu. “We turned over every stone to make sure she was OK—and so Janet could be at ease bringing Ann home.”

For Janet, the warmth she received from everyone she encountered at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles made her feel well cared for. A single mom, she went home each evening to be with her older daughter, but always checked in with Ann’s team.

“I called Ann’s nurse every night,” she says. “That’s when they gave her a bath and dressed her. The nurses would go through the clothes I’d brought, so when I arrived the next morning, she’d be in a cute little outfit.”

The final hurdle was to ensure Ann could nurse or eat from a bottle. She received physical therapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT), and underwent a swallow study.

Before Ann was discharged, Janet was connected with the Newborn Follow-up Program, which provides developmental assessment for children with complex conditions after they leave the hospital. Through the program, Ann was connected to ongoing PT, OT, speech therapy, behavioral health services, and more.

A bright future

Now 3 years old, Ann continues to hit developmental milestones in her own time and has an unstoppable spirit. “She’s got a superstar personality,” says Dr. Wu. “She’s like the Energizer Bunny, always curious, always on the go. Her smile and energy light up any room she enters. It has been a privilege to follow her growth and development. I remain really optimistic about her future.”

In gratitude for Ann’s care, Janet and her family generously support the Fetal and Neonatal Institute. “I remain forever indebted to Dr. Friedlich, Dr. Wu, and Dr. Rachel Chapman [Medical Director of the NICCU], and their amazing team of advanced professional practitioners, fellows, residents, nurses, and specialists who saved my amazing Ann,” she wrote in a note accompanying a recent donation.

The NICCU team is gratified by Ann’s positive outcome and grateful for her mom’s support. “When we can intervene at the right time, it feels amazing to be able to minimize the impact of a possible brain disorder,” says Dr. Friedlich. “That’s what we live for. And for the team, it’s wonderful that they feel the family’s support.”
