Shaken Baby Syndrome

I've heard a couple of radio commercials recently about Texas that led me to do a little research. The first commercial included the fact that Texas ranks fourth highest in the nation for teen pregnancy.  I found the following statics at the Texas Department of State Health Services (http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/famplan/tpp.shtm) site rather interesting:

How Often Does a Teenager in Texas Get Pregnant?Every 10 minutes, a teen in Texas gets pregnant. 

Every 10 hours, a 14-year-old teen gets pregnant. 

Every 3 hours, a 15-year-old teen gets pregnant. 

Every 1.5 hours, a 16-year-old teen gets pregnant.  

Every 52 minutes, a 17-year-old-teen gets pregnant.  

Every 35 minutes, an 18-year-old teen gets pregnant. 

Every 28 minutes, a 19-year-old teen gets pregnant. 
What are the Outcomes? 

Every 48 minutes a teen has an abortion.

The other radio fact I heard regarded Shaken Baby Syndrome.  Texas has the highest mortality rate of infants as a result of shaking.  According to the National Shaken Baby Coalition a baby can fall 3 stories and not get as seriously injured as a shaken baby!!

Ben and I were hypothesizing correlations between the two facts (Teen Pregnancy and Shaken Baby Syndrome) then started talking about our own daughter.  We started discussing how many times Ava has tripped or ran into something or fell off of something.  

Just as Ben started to say, "...and Ava's still okay'" we looked down the hall of our camper towards Ava.  Ava was playing independently, sitting on the floor in her bedroom, putting a puzzle together...wearing her bicycle helmet.  

...Maybe I SHOULD get her checked out.
