Weekend, MRI, etc.


We had a good weekend. Jessica came up to see Tricia and they came over on Saturday for a cookout at our house. We cooked some home-grown beef steaks and they were delicious. We also went to a great bbq place with them for lunch on Sunday. Our church watched Fireproof for services on Sunday to kick of their marriage series based on the movie. Jessica hadn't seen it so they came to church with us. We also had dinner with Dr. Griffith on Friday night before she left for the summer to go to Vancouver to visit her daughter for the summer.
Yesterday Maddy had an MRI. We have been trying to decided what to do about getting a neurosurgeon and decided to have the MRI to see if it was necessary to get one. I called the pediatrician today and they had gotten the results back. The results showed that the cord looks tethered so we will be going to see a neurosurgeon on July 9th. It is a pain because there are only two neurosurgeons in our network and they are both in Ft. Worth. I am also still trying to work out an appointment with another ENT to see about her ears. I will call tomorrow and see if they got the medical records and if we can go ahead and make an appointment.
Classes started for both Aaron and I yesterday. My online class looks pretty easy. I do have to do a 12 page research paper. Aaron teaches Biology from 8-12 M-Th. His class only lasts the month of June. Mine will go through August 3rd.
Not much else going on here. We will go see the hand specialists at Scottish Rite on Thursday so please be in prayer for that appointment.

I love seeing Maddy's legs!! It seems so weird to see her out of casts. They look very good, more stretched out than at birth. Will be praying for all the appts. to come.

No rest for the weary. I can imagine the frustration dealing with all the appointments, and classes. Brandon

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...

More Miss Maddy pics

Here are some more pictures of Maddy. I know everyone is eager for pictures. We got to put her first little outfit on last night. She got out of the incubator bed and into a regular bassinet so she can now wear clothes and have her own blankies and stuff. It is great.
