Pacemakers in Animals


Dear Mr.D.

Hello, my name is Ashley. I am Danielle's friend. I was wondering, do they ever put pace makers in horses? I have a horse, her name is Confetti. Does it cost the same amount to have them put in animals as it does to have them put in humans? Would they be bigger for a horse, and are they smaller for a cat or a dog? I heard your voice on the sound blaster! It's COOL! Can you recycle pace makers?

Ashley


Dear Mr.D,

It's me Danielle! Today I heard your sound file. Mrs.Weeg just told me that you can put pacemakers in animals! Who would spend so much money to put a pacemaker in an animal? In the book you sent us it says somthing about temporary pacemakers. Who would get a temporary pacemaker? Anyway back to the animals. When a person dies can you use their pacemakers for animals? Do animals use smaller pacemakers? How much does it cost to put a pacemaker in a animal? Write back!

Your friend,
Danielle


Dear Mr.D,

Hi!!!!! How are you? I am fine. My name is Cate. I am 11 years old. I am interested in learning about the information you know about hearts. Here are some questions for you.

  1. Is there anything that can hurt people with pacemakers ?
  2. What kind of research do you do when you go out of town ?

Your friend,
Cate


Dear Mr. D,

We did it we did it. I know how many times your heart beats in a year.

I did the math in my head. NOT. Ha Ha. Well, got to go.

Sincerely,
Heather


Dear Mr. D,

Thanks for your answers! I made you a sound file I haven't got to hear your sound file yet but I will listen to it tomorrow! What do you do all day when you leave town? What kind of research do you do all day? Where do you work? Write back soon!

Your friend,
Danielle


Dear Mr.D,

It's me Danielle! I have a couple of questions for you! Who needs a pacemaker more men or women? Is there a machine that can tell when you are a small child if you will need a pacemaker when you get older? How young is the youngest person ever to get a pacemaker? Can a diseases prevent you from getting a pacemaker? What disease is it? Write back!

Your friend,
Danielle

P.S-Will you please start traveling this way!


Dear Mr.D,

Hi!! How are you ? I'm fine. I just did a voice record for you. So did Kim, Heather, and Ashley. I had fun doing it. I have not yet got to hear your voice file yet but, I know that it will be the coolest. You have been going around a lot what have you been doing on all of your trips ? In other words what has been some of the research that you've been getting if you got any ? What are some things if their is anything that will damage or even destroy the pacemaker ? Will something happen to someone with a pacemaker if they get near an electric pole ? Well, I have to go.

Ashleigh
P.S. - Please write back


Dear Mr.D,

Hi!! How are you ? I'm fine. What animals get pacemakers besides cats and dogs ? Also how old was the youngest child who received a pacemaker ? Who was the person who first invented the pacemaker ? What did some of the older models look like if there were any ? Who seems to to need more pacemakers men or women ? Can you recycle a pacemaker ? I have a lot of questions.

You are late on your homework like Ashley said you have a C-. I understand though that you are only one person and there are so many people writing to you and asking questions. I'm a nice person so now you have an A+ 100%!!! :-):-):-):-):-):-) So have you beeen swamped with mail. It was nice to hear your voice on the phone but, it was even cooler that we heard you on the computer. We all hear our voice differently then everyone else hears our voice so I think my voice is stupid.

Sincerely,
Ashleigh
