Quaid Twins Fighting for Their Lives
Christmas looks dark for actor Dennis Quaid, 53, and wife Kimberly, 36, as their twins, 21 day old Thomas Boone and Zoe Grace Quaid fight for their lives once again. The Quaid twins were among three patients who were given 1,000 times the amount allowed on a patient of a medicine named Heparin at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, California.
According to the free encyclopedia, Wikipedia.org, Heparin has the highest negative charge density of any known biological molecule. While I don’t know exactly what that means since I am no doctor, that does not sound good at all.
Heparin is a blood thinner or anticoagulant. One of the only known treatments for an overdose is protamine sulfate, which according to Wikipedia, also must be added to the overdosed patients at the same amount at which the Heparin was given. My question is, how will two tender, newborn babies whose bodies are just starting to get used to the environment, fight 1,000 cc’s of Heparin and then 1,000 cc’s of protamine sulfate? Poor angels!
I myself was the victim of an irresponsible nurse myself at age 15 when she accidentally overdosed me with Venadryl. Clearly my life was in danger although not even 10 percent as much as these tiny babies’ lifes were. It was a memorable night for me because of what I cannot recall. My body had such reactions that I have been told, I had the entire medical staff working on me while I offered them insults, under the influence of the medicine.
Clearly, we must hold the hospitals accountable when things like these happen. Everybody commits mistakes, but when it comes down to dealing with lifes, mistakes cannot be overlooked. How can hospitals hire such inept people like the ones that gave these babies the overdose?
With that comment said, I will like to point out that Black dresses are it again. An elegant Black dress is always chic for a dinner or party occasion and would fit perfectly with the supercold Decembers countries north of the Equator usually have. But be careful what you wear when you buy a Black dress,grandma’s old wool is not in, leather is. Depending on the occasion also, a Black or Red hat may or may not be reccomendable. With so much partying to be done, you have to look your best and that’s what I am here for.
I will not mention any female target of desires this week, because my only desire is for the Quaid twins to be able to surpass this new, uphill battle the two angels will face. I will pray to The Lord so that their lives are saved and that his parents may find Him through this, so far terrible, experience, and that this Christmas really brings a miracle to the Quaid family. I beg you to join me in my prayers.
Until next week!
I know that you probably came expecting to read some article by me with some attempts at jokes or something, but this is far too serious to make some fun and to leave out.

good thinking, this is no time for jokes and nasty comments. I hope that the twins would get better.
