The monitor is protection against Sudden Infant Death or crib death GRAND BEND AND'DISTRICT NEWS Monitor keeps both baby and It looks strange - two long black wires hanging from a darling baby girl in a pink dress - but those wires may just save the baby's life. The wires can be plugged into a monitor which will sound an alarm when the baby stops breathing, thus lowering the incidence of Sudden Infant Death or crib death. Ann Russell of RR 2, Dash- wood demonstrated how the monitor works on her baby Jill at a meeting of the Grand Bend Women's Institute, last Thursday evening. Five years ago Ann lost a baby as the result of what is called crib death. The coronor's report indicated that the baby suffocated, simply because he stopped breathing. A great -deal of mystery still surrounds Sudden Infant Death. There doesn't appear to be any factors indicating when it might occur. It just seems as if the baby falls into a deep sleep and'forgets to breath. Ann says. Three years ago when Ann had her daughter, Elizabeth. the monitors were not available. Fear of SID made Ann watch Elizabeth con- stantly. "I'd stay ap all night, and fuss over her all the time," Ann says. But things are much better now with Jill, because Ann's fears have been a Iliviated thanks to the monitor. "Jill's a lot better baby, just because we're not always watching her," Ann adds. When Ann was expecting Jill she asked her gynecologist about the crib monitors. Her doctor im- mediately made an ap- pointment with the SID clinic across from St. Joseph's Hospital in London. Dr. Patrick O'Neal heads the clinic, and donations from concerned members of the public have made the monitors available. "No one questioned us about why we wanted the monitor," Ann says. . Immediately she and her husband Doug were given lessons on operating the monitor. They were also taught artificial respiration and cardio pulmonary resuscitation. The CPR method was practised on the specially made doll. Resusci- Baby. As soon as Jill was born, she was attached to the monitor. Now she is two tnonths old, and Ann plugs her into the machine whenever she is in her crib. Two small sticky circular pads called electrodes are fastened to the baby just below her arm pits and wires , run to the monitor which looks like a radio. As long as the baby is breathing regularly. a reassuring red light blinks on and off. But should she stop breathing for 20 seconds. a buzzer sounds. It is hoped that the sound of the buzzer is enough to startle the baby into _ breathing again. Sometimes the parents' need only to move her to arouse her. But in some cases, artificial respiration is needed to -get the baby breathing again. Fortunately, this hasn't happened to the Russells. Jill will be attached to the morytor until she is six months old. The machine is supplied free of charge by the SID •clinic. but the parents have to buy a case of the sticky pads which cost about $35. Right now Jill wears the wires all the time. They can be removed and snapped back on to the sticky pads, but because she is so young, snapping them back on may cause bruising. Ann says that there many conflicting stories about SID. Some doctors believe it may be hereditary and run in families. While some support the use of the monitor, others say that having a machine and wires attached to the baby makes for a bad mother -baby relationship. Ann, however, says she fully reccommends the monitor. Jill is a happy, Soccer team Grand Bend Senior Soccer team better known as the "Colonials" are holding onto their unbeaten record.

"Where are you from" was always the first question you asked a desk - mate in University, and fortunately most of the people i came across during my years at Western knew of Grand Bend. Usually the reaction was "Grand Bend' Are you ever lucky " Then they would add "I've never known anybody who lived there all year round." And then after a moment's thought came the third response - "But what do you do there in the win- ter." Thank goodness i learned how to cross-country ski last winter so now i finally have a reply for that one. But there are many things that make living in a reset during the off s. .ewn very interesting. For example, you know you're living- in a resort during the off season when you open the medicine cabinet and you can't find the hand -aids for the ten half -used bottles of sun tan ``lotion that fall out in your You realize that the season's over and it's time that the sun tan lotion bottles take the back-rbw to other medicines. Sort of a "cabinet ,ehpf fj " —tam happens whew you Try t'oget intayour - garage during the Off season. You trip over lawn chairs. battle with inner -tubes and fall into a canoe before you can find anything else. . You know you're living in a resort during the off season when you call up . some friends on a Sunday af- ternoon in , nid-November and they seem reluctant to come for a visit Especially when you remember that it was no trouble finding friends who were eager to visit last July when the boat was in the river. the water skis were ready. and the steaks were on the harbeque.
