The Heart of Lincoln

by

By CECIL PERGRAM

Times Editor

Marissa, John and Lincoln Shockey

On April 23, Lincoln Shockey, of Rosslyn, turned 3 years-old.

When someone looks at Lincoln, they would hardly be able to guess he suffers from a rare heart  defect called Hypoplastic left heart syndrome, meaning the left side of his heart is critically undeveloped and that he is essentially only has half of a heart.

Lincoln has had to undergo multiple surgeries overcome numerous obstacles in the past because of his condition.

The last time the Clay City Times featured Lincoln in an article he had just celebrated his first birthday after enduring multiple surgeries. Those surgeries included two surgeries in a series of three that were needed to make his heart function as best as it possibly can.

At that time Lincoln still needed the Fontan Operation, the final surgery in the series of three.

The Fontan procedure is palliative, not curative,  but in many cases it can result in normal or near-normal growth, development, exercise tolerance, and good quality of life.

Lincoln’s parents John and Marissa Shockey and the rest of the Shockey family which includes Lincoln’s four older brothers Korey, Aiden, Flynn and Sam are happy to report that last August, Lincoln underwent surgery and completed the Fontan Operation, the third a final surgery in the series of three, that he needed to make his heart function the best it possibly can.

Marissa Shockey says Lincoln’s Fontan procedure didn’t come without complications causing the family to stay in Philadelphia at the the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia for two months after the operation.

“We don’t even know what it was he just had some kind of bacterial infection, he had a fever and we just had to treat it,” Shockey said of the complications. “Again, we still don’t know what it was and it can pop up again at anytime.”

“He is done unless something goes wrong. The way I like to explain it to people, it is essentially the same way you would treat a hospice patient,” Shockey said. “The only thing we can do is the surgeries and interventions and without them, he wouldn’t be able to live. That’s kind of like hospice, your trying to make life compatible for as long as you can and the best you can, with what you’ve got to work with.”

“Thirty years ago there was no fix at all. That’s how new some of these fixes are but he looks perfectly normal and healthy but at any moment a simple cold could put him back in the hospital.”  Shockey said.

Shockey says that with recent medical advancements there are now more surviving adults with CHD than there are children and that Lincoln still continues to have routine yearly check-ups done at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia one of the top hospitals in the nation for children with his kind of heart defect.

Shockey says she has recently became the President of the Kentucky Chapter of the Pediatric Congenital Heart Association and she continues to be advocate for families and children who born with a congenital heart defect.

“It’s a support group and educational group for families with kids with any kind of heart defects,” Shockey said. “I’m trying to get the word out to get volunteers and to just let people know that it’s available for families because there’s a lot more kids with heart defects than people realize.”

Shockey says CHD is the number one birth defect in the nation and 1 in 100 has a heart defect though in most cases are not as severe as Lincoln’s condition which is more rare and affects only 1 in  about 5000 children.

If you would like for information about Lincoln Shockey or about the Pediatric Congenital Heart Association you can contact Marrisa Shockey President, Kentucky Chapter at mshockey@conqueringchd.org or by visiting website conqueringchd.org/kentucky.

Powell Family Health invests in state-of-the-art radiology equipment for clinic

by

By CECIL PERGRAM

Editor

Sarah Alexander, Sara Roberts, Sonya Thompson , Sheri Reynolds are shown in the

Powell Family Health recently invested over $100,000 to bring state-of-the-art digital radiology imaging to patients in the Powell County community.

The clinic spent the past two months during April and May renovating a wing of the clinic for this new technology.  Powell Family Health digital radiology provides the same level of x-ray service now that is available in a hospital, meaning people no longer need to drive long distances to the hospital to receive this high quality radiology imaging.

“We have seen many Powell County residents at Clark Regional for x-rays. We want to share with people that we’ve made this investment in their community” Director of Radiology at Clark Regional Medical Center Director Sheri Reynolds said. “Our mission is to make communities healthier and we can now provide the same quality x-ray to Powell County as somebody would get from a hospital.”

“Every part of the x-ray machine has been replaced with new digital equipment. Our patients now receive a higher quality x-ray than what was here previously,” Director of Marketing at Clark Regional Medical Center, Sarah Alexander, said.

“The new equipment produces a superior x-ray. It makes a world of difference with the image quality and how medical providers use the x-ray. The Radiologist is now able to magnify smaller areas of the bone in fine detail to make a better diagnosis,” Administrative Director of Powell Family Health, Sara Roberts, said.

The new imaging service is not just for patients of Powell Family Health.  Patients with an x-ray order from any medical provider can have their x-ray done at Powell Family Health.

“If a patient’s provider is located in Lexington and they want the patient to have a chest x-ray, it can be done here. They don’t have to be seen by one of our providers.  They can just bring in their order the same way they would at a hospital,” Roberts said. “People are busy.  They want convenience and quality.  I’m proud Powell Family Health can now offer both to our community.”

Powell Family Health is open seven days a week. Hours of operation are Monday-Friday 8 a.m.-to- 6 p.m. and 9 a.m.-to- 4 p.m. on weekends.

Powell Family Health is located at 68 East Elkins Street in Stanton.

For more information you can contact Powell Family Health at 606-663-2511.

By CECIL PERGRAM

Times Editor

Redding named as Powell Family and Consumer Sciences Agent.

Kendyl Redding was introduced as the Powell County Extension Office’s new Family and Consumer Sciences Agent on June 18 at the Powell County Extension Office. She comes to Powell County after spending the last three years as the 4-H/FCS Agent in Menifee County.

Family and Consumer Sciences Extension builds strong families for Kentucky through programs that educate and help families connect research-based knowledge to their everyday lives.

“We encourage people to be healthy through good nutrition and food safety, to make wise financial decisions, and to balance the demands of life and work,”

Redding said. “Our program develops  families’ skills to improve their

lives, including meal-planning, parenting, building relationships, home management, and financial decision-making.

I love working in the community and Extension has really enabled me to do just that. I have been married to my high school sweetheart, Caleb, for almost 3 years. We don’t have any kids, but we do have a rambunctious cat. I am very interested in anything health and wellness related. Some of my hobbies include running, cooking/baking, and spending time with family and friends. I look forward to getting to know the community members in Powell County,” Redding said.

Redding gradated from the University of Kentucky in 2014 with a degree in Dietetics and she is currently working on her Master’s degree in Wellness Promotion from Morehead State University.

The Powell County Extension Office is located at 169 Main Street in Stanton.
