and another cast down and another cast down and another cast bites the dust...


This morning Maddy's foot was way up inside her cast again. Not good since she just had surgery to correct it yesterday. So we called Scottish Rite and they told us to come on in. The doctor had to stretch her foot back into the corrected position again, which she did not enjoy, but she did pretty good. And yest, that cast looks huge because it is huge! He put three layers on. He also had to bend her knee to keep it from sliding down. That was a little disappointing because we'd been working on getting them straight but that is better than wasting a surgery. I don't think this one is coming off. If it does, I will be shocked. So, if all goes well we should have a two week break from SR, which will be refreshing since we went there four times this week.
We tried out the jogging stroller tonight--just on a walk--but it is awesome! Pics of that later.

Maddy is looking so great!! I can't wait to see her. I am so glad that you have the patience and persistence to stay on top of her casting, I am sure that someday you will look back and be so glad that you were so careful about making sure everything is right.

I am so sad that another weekend has passed me by with no chance to get up to Carrollton to see you guys! :-( I'm glad that the surgery wasn't too traumatic for all involved and that hopefully the cast situation has been resolved for a few days. Enjoy your stroller...the weather has been awesome the past couple of days!

AWESOME!! She's looking great. Cool that you have the stroller, too. Hope that's enjoyable for you both.

I am so glad Maddy is handling all this doctoring and casting so well. With a running family like yours, a jogging stroller is a must have. It would collect dust around here....I'm ashamed to say.

Wow. So many casts for such a tiny person.

Getaway to Ticks Bend....I Mean Beavers Bend State Park

 Back in April, we decided we needed to do a short family getaway after the semester was over. The last time we'd been on vacation just to vacation (not going to see family in CO) was when we went to San Antonio when Maddy was 3 months old. We found Beavers Bend State Park close to Broken Bow, OK and decided to go there. We booked a cabin in the state park and eagerly awaited the day we could take off for our getaway. We left on Sunday afternoon and stayed through Tuesday afternoon. It was short, but so fun and relaxing. We had no computer and no cell phones while we were up there. We just got to enjoy being around each other and the beautiful scenery.  We built a fire and roasted some marshmallows. Also popped some jiffy pop. Aaron had never done one of those before.  This is a 100 year old cabin they had at the visitor center. I like the mud chinking ( I think that's what it's called). A couple named Comma and Mabel lived in the cabin when the CCC was building t...

Another Sonogram

We went to the high risk pregnancy doc today for another sonogram. This time he could see all four chambers of the heart, the pulmonary valve, etc. In his words it looked "dramatically better". He feels there is still some slight compression on the heart and that we need to continue watching it. As of now he cannot see anything that is causing it and the MRI did not see anything either. He also felt that the hands were okay. They are not clenched fists at least as he first thought, meaning that the fingers aren't overlapping each other. Her hands are still in fists and she won't open them but he said he has had other babies that have not opened their fist in the sonogram but the hands have been normal at birth, so we still have a lot of hope for those little hands. He was able to get a better look at the face today, no cleft palate, so that is a huge blessing. The feet are still concerning. They are definitely clubbed but she is also not moving them. She is moving her...

Fall-The Best Season of All

 I love fall! I used to be a bigger fan of summer when we lived in Colorado but I have always liked fall and it has definitely risen to the top of my favorite season list since moving to Dallas. Fall means that I actually can go outside and enjoy being outside again. That is especially a relief after this summer. It is so great to be able to take Maddy on a walk in the middle of the day if I want to....and it's a great way to get her to take a nap without a big wrestling match. Fall also means the Texas State Fair, which means all the fried food you can eat, fun with family, and lots of fun animal shows to entertain the two kids--I mean the kid and the kid at heart when it comes to animals.. I usually spend some of the fall season missing the crisp air a beautiful changing colors in Colorado, but this year we actually got to go back to visit Aaron's family for fall break so we got to have a little taste of that as well. Here are some great pictures from our fair ...
