The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, November 14, 1984 - Page 7 Balloons, Krazy Glue cure girl's medical woes NEW YORK - A 2-year-old girl whose life was threatened by a malformed blood vessel in her spine has been cured by a series of operations using balloons and a medical Krazy glue, doctors said yesterday as she left the hospital for home. "WE NEVER thought she's get this far," said Sally Zellner, 31, of Phoenix, as her daughter , Carrie, was released from New York University Medical Center. The youngest patient ever to undergo this procedure in the spinal area, Carrie now is cured after three operations over six weeks, said Dr. In- sup Choi, a member of the surgical team. Choi said Carrie was born with an ar- terial-venous malformation of her spinal cord - in effect, a hole in a vein in her upper spine through which blood could flow directly into an artery. THE ZELLNERS were not aware of the problem. "She was, in our eyes, perfectly normal," said Zellner. Then, in April, Carrie fell out of her carriage. She began to hemorrhage; her mother revived her with mouth-to- mouth resuscitation and took her to the hospital. Doctors at Phoenix Children's 1 Hospital who examined the child determined that the birth defect, not 'We thought she was going to die.' - Sally Zellmer Carrie' s mother the fall, was the cause of the bleeding. In August, she hemorrhaged again, and "we thought she was going to die," said her mother. WHEN SHE was brought to New York in September, Choi said, blood was flowing through the vein very quickly, and it had swollen. The pain, he said, was "severe." Her right side weakened so much that she could not raise her right hand; if nothing had been done, and she sur- vived hemorrhaging in the future, a lack of blood to her right side would have stunted her growth, Choi said. To block the blood flow, doctors in- flated a tiny latex balloon in the vein. The they tried to plug the hole with an injection of a compound which is "basically Krazy Glue," Choi said. The hole was not closed, but they decided not to risk another operation. CARRIE RETURNED home to Phoenix. But 10 days ago she hemorrhaged again, and again she was taken to New York. A second glue injection was made, this time closing the hole. Before the operation, doctors who placed a stethoscope to Carrie's neck could hear the blood rushing through the vein, like water rushing through rapids, Choi said. After the surgery, the noise stopped. The pain also stopped, and there was no need for the painkillers that had rob- bed her of her natural vivacity. Her right side remained weak, but Choi said she would regain her strength and could expect to lead a normal life.

The lyrics are pretty funny (God, my best friend's on a shooting spree/Stop, Debbi, you 're em- barrassing me!),but despite the exten- sive charm of the sentiments, the syn- thy stupidity of the production makes this joke far too obvious. Still, this one debit aside, this is an immensely entertaining collection, big fun for camp fans and morbidity affec- tionadoes. -D.H. Andrea Lucchesini - Liszt: Piano Music (Angel EMI) In a new Angel EMI Digital release, 19-year-old Tuscan pianist Andrea Luc- chesini makes his debut recording with an album of all Liszt piano music including the b minor sonata, La Campanella, Ricordanza, Hungarian Rhapsody No. 6 and the 4th Grande Etude de Paganini. The album is actually a mixed bag of results. At times the Italian pianist's performances suffer from a lack of emotion and a tendency to treat the works as mere technical vehicles, when there are real emotional melodic "meat" and heartthrobbing moments. Then, at other points Lucchesini is right on target with rich, con passione elements and perfectly brought out left hand melodic treatment with right hand accompaniment. This is clearly evident at many points in the b minor Sonata. His careful attention to detail in the melodic recapitualtion in the end of the piece was fabulous. Throughout the album, his precise finger work, especially with regard to the fiendishly difficult thirds scattered throughout the piece, is fascinatingly spellbinding. The other items on the disc bring mixed results also. Lucchesini provided two very enjoyable accounts of two of Liszt's Paganini Etudes, which are also extraordinarily difficult. The Paganini Etudes are a set of six showpieces for the piano which Liszt composed upon themes from Paganini's Violin Caprices, which in their own right are equally difficult for the violinist. Lucchesini played No. 4 commonly called "La Chasse" and No. 3 the very well known "La Cam- panella." Both were played with im- peccable taste. "La Campanella" was a very refreshing new interpretation, which lifted by spirits about the piece. He seemed to play it almost as if it were a set of variations, in sections, instead of as one long thread, which is how most pianists play it. He took it at a slower tempo, which was fine. It wasn't because his technique couldn't afford to play it fast, Lucchesini certainly doesn'tthave a thing to worry about in terms of technical problems. It was more in order to provide an original, unique approach which is very com- mendable, needed and helpful in Liszt. One only wishes that the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 6 was a successful. It wasn't, and it may very well be due to the fact that the music is so hackneyed and shallow, full of clicheed phrases and musical statements. Lucchesini performed again technically proficient, however the overall taste was one of lackluster music making. It was dry and restrained emotionally. One or two flubs really isn't enough to damage the overall enjoyment of this album for the listener. The Paganini Etudes, and the "good" moments in the Liszt Sonata are enough to provide more than adequate enjoyment.

"I was very reclusive and always 'highly emotional," she once remakred 4I didn't feel I was allowed to express it, so I would cry and scream in front of "the mirror and be very sexy.

They also types her s a sitcom actress: But she studied drama at the Actors Studio and was ready for the challenge of the 1976 "Sybil," a two-part TV special. Her electrifying performance as a young woman with 16 different per- sonalities brought Field an Emmy Award and her first real respect from filmmakers. After an interval as leading lady in Burt Reynolds' movies and life, she emerged as a star of first magnitude inNorma Rae. Field lives quietly in suburban Tar- zana, Calif., with sons Peter, 15, and Elijah, 12, who were born during her five-year marriage to high school sweetheart Steve Craig. "I'm a low-profile person," she said. "There are times when I seem more visible, but I'm probably as low-key as anyone in the business. "The times when I seem to be high profile are when I'm promoting a pic- ture," she continued. "But my real life concerns my home and my kids. Like most people, the things I like to do are read a book, watch TV or go to the movies and eat popcorn." Including: JOIN US AT THE U-CLUB SATURDAY NOVEMBER 17,1984 j'72 . 'V { ' 1L 'i " t.
