Q: The ushers are there to seat guests and control the flow of foot traffic into the venue as people start arriving. Let the usher know whether you're a guest of the bride or the groom. According to tradition, the bride's side is to the left of the aisle when facing the altar, while the groom's side is to the right. If you don't have a preference for where to sit, you can fill in an empty seat on either side of the aisle. Guests of honor may be assigned a special seat. In this case, you'll present a token (like a small card) to the ushers, who will then escort you to your seat. This row is typically saved for guests who are speaking, reading or otherwise participating in the ceremony but don't have a role in the wedding itself. Being up front allows them to get up and return to their seats without difficulty. Elderly guests and those with disabilities will also be invited to sit in the front row. For outdoor weddings, guest contributors may be seated off to one side to prevent confusion. Mom, dad and any siblings that aren't in the ceremony will take their places on the inside of the aisle. There, they'll have a clear view of the proceedings and occupy a symbolic position closest to the married couple. Honored step-parents, godparents and longtime family friends should also be offered a seat in the second row. Unless you're a close relation, plan on filing into the one of the rows in the rear. This might include additional siblings, grandparents, aunts and uncles and cousins. Close friends may also be given a seat in one of the forward rows to allow them to be with rest of the family. All other rows will be reserved for the general audience. Family seating may overflow into the middle section depending on the size of the venue and the number of relatives in attendance. Other outside guests can round out the third and fourth rows, assuming there's still space and it's alright with the family. Once the first three or four rows have been designated, guests are encouraged to claim any seats that are still open on either side of the aisle. That way, there won't be any gaps that make it harder for latecomers to get situated. Be prepared to squeeze in beside the person next to you rather than leaving seats unfilled. Attendees who come in later should gravitate to whichever side has more vacant seats. If you happen to arrive after the family has been led in or the ceremony has started, it's alright to seat yourself. Just be sure to take a position near the back of the chapel, where a late entrance won't be as conspicuous. Find a place to sit quickly and quietly to avoid disturbing the other guests. Clamoring to fill in an empty seat closer to the front of the venue will only draw unwanted attention.
A: Have an usher show you to your seat. Leave the first row open for easy access. Reserve the second row for parents and family. Make room for extended family in the third and fourth rows. Fill in the remaining seats from front to back. Slip into one of the back rows if you're late.

Q: By far the best way to treat simple, uncomplicated newborn jaundice is by exposing your infant to filtered sunlight either through a polarized window or shade in your home or by taking him outside in a covered stroller for five minutes twice daily. The infant should not be exposed to direct sunlight, but can benefit from sunlight filtered through a shade or glass specifically treated to allow blue light through while blocking ultraviolet rays. Some pediatricians are reluctant to recommend this due to the harmful effects of sun rays on sensitive infant skin; however, all over the world this is still the preferred treatment as long as parents are mindful of the amount and type of exposure. Breastmilk is important to your baby because it encourages bowel movements, which help to remove bilirubin from the baby's system. The more your baby feeds, the more milk is produced and the more bilirubin your baby excretes. Your doctor may suggest an increase in feeding. A breastfed baby may be upped from eight to ten feedings per day. Supplementation may also be suggested. The newborn should be kept hydrated to help excrete bilirubin from their body. A formula supplement to breastfeeding may be necessary to keep your newborn hydrated. Excess loss of water can occur through the newborn's skin. Consider working with a lactation professional to ensure the baby is feeding properly. A lactation professional can also help with supplementation. Your doctor may order light therapy for you baby either at home or in the hospital. Your baby will be placed under special lighting that emits blue-green light. This changes the shape and structure of the bilirubin molecules so that they can be excreted in urine and stool. The baby will be weighed each day and the levels of bilirubin in your newborn's blood will be checked often. Your baby will wear a diaper and protective eye patches during treatment. The light isn't an ultraviolet light. A protective shield filters out ultraviolet light that may be emitted. Light therapy may be supplemented with the use of a light-emitting mattress or pad. If standard phototherapy doesn't work, the doctor might suggest the baby be placed on a fiber optic blanket; an additional bank of lights might be added. Physiological jaundice (the most common form) almost never requires treatment beyond phototherapy. An exchange transfusion may be ordered by your doctor if the bilirubin levels in your baby's blood remain high. Your newborn will receive new blood through a small plastic tube inserted into a blood vessel. The bilirubin-heavy blood will be replaced with bilirubin-free blood reducing levels quickly. Your baby's condition will be closely monitored throughout the transfusion process. An exchange transfusion can take several hours. When the transfusion is completed, your baby's blood will be tested for bilirubin. If the levels haven't dropped enough then the baby will undergo another transfusion. An intravenous transfusion of an immunoglobulin might help to prevent the necessity of a blood transfusion. It introduces a blood protein to the infant that that can reduce levels of antibodies. An intravenous transfusion of an immunoglobulin could decrease jaundice and eliminate the need for an exchange blood transfusion.
A: Treat uncomplicated jaundice with filtered sunlight. Increase daily feedings for your baby. Lower your newborn's level of bilirubin with phototherapy. Replace the baby's blood with blood from a matching donor.

Q: Depression can lead to other mental and physical problems. It is important to share what you are experiencing with your doctor. Your doctor can rule out physical causes for your depression. You could also go to a therapist and find ways to deal with your problems. Even a school counselor is a good place to start. Get a referral, if necessary. Your general practitioner may be able to recommend a psychiatrist or psychologist who can better treat your depression. Doctor's appointments go fast. Here's how to plan and get the most out of your time: Write down your symptoms. Write down key personal information, including major life events that may contribute to your thoughts, beliefs, or feelings. Write down your medications, include any vitamins or supplements. Write down any questions you have for your doctor. Questions for your doctor could include : Is depression the most likely explanation of my symptoms? What treatments would you recommend for me? What kind of tests do I need? How can I best manage my depression with my other health conditions? Are there alternative or complementary treatments that you recommend? Do you have any printed materials that I can take home? Do you have a website that you recommend? Do you have a local support group that you recommend? The doctor will likely have questions for you too. Be prepared to answer the following: Do any of your relatives have similar symptoms? When did you first notice your symptoms? Do you only feel down? Or does your mood fluctuate? Have you ever had suicidal thoughts? How is your sleep? Have your daily activities been affected? Do you use any illicit drugs or alcohol? Have you been diagnosed with any mental illnesses before? Ask a trusted friend or family member to accompany you to your appointment. They can help you remember to share things with your doctor, and can help you remember what your doctor shared with you. In addition to a psychological evaluation, you can expect a physical exam, including measuring height, weight and blood pressure; and laboratory tests, including blood count and thyroid evaluation.
A:
Make an appointment with your doctor. Prepare for your appointment. Ask someone to come with you. Go to your appointment.
