Teen/ Adult Transition

  • Budgeting and saving
  • Paying bills: give them a bill to pay! They can sign up for a music subscription and this will give them a small bill to pay on a set date.
  • Grocery shopping: have them create a list and do some shopping and/or complete order pickups
  • Doctors/ dentists contact info and appointment scheduling instructions (like which doctor they call for each concern)
  • The last year they live at home get final dental exams, physicals, vaccines, eye exams, ect. It may be awhile before they go again.

Dilated Cardiomyopathy

The heart’s ability to pump blood is decreased because the heart’s main pumping chamber, the left ventricle, is enlarged, dilated and weak. At first, the chambers of the heart respond by stretching to hold more blood to pump through the body.
