Just Say HIE

• BONUS EPISODE: HIE, Seizures & Epilepsy

  Join us for this BONUS EPISODE, as we bring our Medical Advisory Board educational series to our Just Say HIE podcast. This conversation was previously recorded and aired in April 2021 during HIE Awareness Month. Topics covered include neonatal seizures, the connection of HIE to seizures and epilepsy, what types of epilepsy babies and children with HIE are at risk for, including the discussion on Infantile Spasms, Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome, and Electrical status epilepticus in sleep (ESES). Tips are discussed on how to build productive relationships with your child's neurologist, including developing a proactive plan of how to contact them in case you suspect a seizure or have a concern about a movement. We are so grateful to Dr. Hannah Glass and Dr. Renee Shellhaas for sharing their expertise, their dedication to the HIE community in research and in clinical practice, and their involvement in the Medical Advisory Board with Hope for HIE.

• BONUS EPISODE: Tongue, Lip & Cheek Ties

  Join Medical Advisory Board members, Nancy Calamusa and Dr. Scott Siegel as they share about the impact of lip and tongue ties on speech, swallowing and feeding, when surgical intervention may be necessary, and why follow up therapies are critical for success. Tongue, lip and cheek ties are a hot topic in parenting groups. There's a lot of misinformation on the potential benefits, impact and drawbacks to getting these types of connective tissues revised. Without proper pre and post-procedure therapy, especially for children with HIE and other children with feeding and swallowing disorders, it can sometimes cause more harm than good. Learn from the experts on who may or may not be a good candidate from pediatric feeding and swallowing expert, Nancy Calamusa, MA, CCC-SLP, and pediatric oral-maxillofacial surgeon, and pediatric dentist, Dr. Scott Siegel, who often work in tandem to ensure children can benefit from this procedure. This episode originally aired as a part of Hope for HIE's Medical Advisory Board educational video series on Facebook, which you can view here.
