New innovative asthma treatment

Living with asthma can be challenging in the Atlanta area.  According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, Atlanta was rated as the number 9 asthma capital among the 100 largest U.S. cities.  For five to ten percent of asthma patients with severe asthma, breathing can be even more difficult. Fortunately, there is a new treatment called Bronchial Thermoplasty that is available here in Gwinnett County. It is helping these patients breathe better. Eastside Medical Center is one of four hospitals in Georgia that offers this new treatment.

Miracles and medicine

On Wednesday, June 26th, 2013 (one day after we celebrated his 37th birthday), my husband, Marcus Hunter went into cardiac arrest while playing basketball at the gym.  My husband died for a while that day – as in no pulse, no heart rhythm, V-fib, etc. Those words were all associated with my husband on that, the scariest day of my life.

There has been a whole lot of celebrating going on in Snellville. The City of Snellville officially became 90 years old on August 20, 2013. On August 20, 1923, a charter was signed and Snellville, Ga became an official town. Two events were held to celebrate its rich history.
