Nine months into my pregnancy and approaching home base, we were still without a name. I'll never forget the moment when we choose our son's name. We were driving up to the North Georgia mountains for our anniversary, and I was reading from a Lewis Grizzard book (how fitting.) I'm not sure what possesed me to grab this book on the way out the door, but it must have been fate. In one chapter...

The aim of ovarian stimulation is to stimulate the growth of several follicles in order to increase the number of eggs for fertilization. GnRH-agonists like Lupron are designed to suppress the pituitary gland's natural tendency to allow only one follicle to mature in each cycle. At the same time, a Lupron IVF protocol prevents the ovaries from ovulating at an inconvenient time during the cycle. Useful as Lupron might be, this drug is very expensive and is known to cause uncomfortable menopause-like side effects. The function of...

We saw Abraham and Sarah had Isaac at 100 and 91 years respectively and he came out a perfect child. God blessed these older couples with perfect children. The bible says every good and perfect gift comes from God. James 1:17. God will not bless you with the gift of a deformed child if you ask Him...

 Unfortunately I see a growing trend in our nation to move away from that awareness. Instead of relishing a purpose and the joy of pursuit, people have become conditioned to do less and less while demanding more and more. They’ve been trained to look to others, even the government, to take care of them. They have become passive and dependent, lackluster, idle, and despairing. What a sad state!   In America 65% of those who do work are merely tolerating their job or career. They are marking time and hanging on, wishing for retirement. They view work as a negative, have caged themselves in, lost touch with the desires of their inner self and settled for a life of mediocrity.   The Correct View of...

Stem cells are immature cells that are able to produce other blood cells that mature and function as needed. Stem cells are the most important cells needed in a bone marrow transplant. Stem cells, when transplanted, find their way to the recipient's marrow and begin to differentiate and produce all types of blood cells...

  Micro Discectomy Spine Surgery Microdiscectomy, also called Microlumbar Discectomy (MLD), is performed for patients with a painful lumbar herniated disc. Microdiscectomy is a very common, if not the most common, surgery performed by spine surgeons. The operation consists of removing a portion of the intervertebral disc, the herniated or protruding portion that is compressing the traversing spinal nerve root. Years ago, most spine surgeons would remove a herniated disc using a rather large surgical incision and surgical exposure without the use of a microscope or telescopic glasses, which would often involve a long hospital stay and prolonged recovery period. Today, many surgeons use a microscopic...

Perhaps you've had two or three children (or none at all) and you've decided not to have any more children. You have several methods of birth control to look into, from the pill to rings to implants placed under the skin. Of course, none of these methods are foolproof, and they all have failure rates. Many women who have made the decision not to bear any more children have undergone a more radical procedure commonly known as 'tubal ligation'. In this process, the patient's fallopian tubes are tied off or blocked in some other way. Medical science, however has turned what was once permanent into an almost routine thing to reverse tubal ligation. In the sterilization process, the fallopian tubes are...
