DIGEST 12STEPS Stroke and Osteoporosis Screening Coming to Shelton Residents living in and around the Shelton community can be screened to reduce their risk of having a stroke or bone fracture. The Church of the Naza- rene will host Life Line Screening on February 3. The site is located at 1331 E Shelton Springs Roadd in Shelton. Appointments will begin at 9 a.m. Four key points every person needs to know: Stroke is the third leading cause of death and a leading cause of perma- nent disability. Eighty percent of stroke victims had no apparent warning signs prior to their stroke. Preventive ultrasound screenings can help you avoid a stroke. Screenings are fast, noninvasive, painless, afford- able and convenient. Screenings identify potential car- diovascular conditions such as blocked arteries and irregular heart rhythm, abdominal aortic aneurysms, and hard- ening of the arteries in the legs, which is a strong predictor of heart disease. A bone density screening to assess osteo- porosis risk is also offered and is appro- priate for both men and women. Packages start at $139. All five screenings take 60-90 minutes to com- plete. For more information regarding the screenings or to schedule an ap- pointment, call 1-877-237-1287 or visit our website at www.lifelinescreening. com. Pre-registration is required.

Caring for Kailyn Family and friends of Kailyn Mc- Irvin are reaching out to the communi- ty for their support as they raise funds to help offset the high costs of Kailyn's medical care. They are sponsoring a chowder/chili dinner and auction. The "caring for Kailyn" benefit is planned on February 5, 2011 doors opening at 3 p.m. dinner at 4 p.m. If you want to donate for the auction please call Angle at 360-427- 7242 or Carolyn at 360-426-5420. At the age of 13 Kailyn was diag- nosed with a very rare metabolic disor- der called Ornithine Transcarbamylase Deficiency "OTC" disorder for short. She has been hospitalized approxi- mately 20 times and been in the ER numerous times. Kailyn usually must be transported to Seattle Children's Hospital where she receives the correct IV medication. Kailyn currently takes 96 pills a day and 24 ounces of a special formula. Kailyn has good insurance, but the deductibles, ambulance transfers and the lost wages and expense to be with Kailyn becomes very expensive. Her deductibles are high and prescription costs alone are over $400 a month. The family has been devastated both emotionally and financially by this. Kailyn had done her best to try and lead a "normal" teen life. She was the 2010 Mason County Rodeo Queen and dedicated herself to the honor between stays in the hospital and times when she was feeling ill. Making it to high school graduation with classmates was a major victory in June. Her goals are to continue her education in as timely a manner as her health allows. Tickets are available at the door or you can purchase them at Mary Mar- tha's, Sage Book Store or Coffee Creek Espresso for $20 couple, $12 per per- son, $5 for children 12 and under. Car- ing for Kailyn UCDF Association is a non-profit organization for the purpose of helping children with OTC and other medical disorders by raising money to help offset their medical expenses.
