y 13-year-old daughter has been diagnosed with a hemangioma. It looks like a wart, and about the size of a pencil eraser. It’s just above her left armpit on her shoulder.

My six-month-old daughter started to have seizures. She had 3 on Thursday, 20-30 on Friday, 2 on Saturday and none since then.

I was not able to pass urine after having a pacemaker put in. I was sent home with catheter attached to a bag. I have a follow-up appointment with the urologist. What if I still can’t pass urine after the catheter is removed? I’d prefer not to have surgery. What are my options?

I have a couple of broken ribs. The pain is so bad that I can hardly move. I can’t sleep at night and I can’t take a deep breath. Is there anything I can do to help my ribs heal quickly or ease the pain? I’ve been told that there isn’t really anything that can be done for this.
