10 month update




So pedi appt. was this afternoon. Maddy weighs 12 lbs. 3.5 oz. She also apparently could have a slight infection in her left lung so we stopped by Walgreens on the way home to get the prescription filled.So the doctor still isn't happy with her weight of course but I think he, like us, has hit a brick wall of bewilderment and loss and is starting to have to say that maybe this is just how she is. We will go back to the endocrinologist for a check up and follow up blood work (fun fun) at the beginning of March. Her blood work from December indicated that her calcium levels were slightly high. This is probably do to her arthrogryposis but it could also indicate a problem with kidney function. So please be in prayer about that for us over the next couple of weeks.

On another note some blogs of interest that have recently come to my attention:

Hmmm, I guess maybe she is just going to be small. I only weighed 35lbs when I was in the first grade! My parents were always kinda worried, I even remember going to the Dr. for just a "look see". I bet she will be fine. Will be praying.

She is a tiny little thing for sure. Hope she continues to check out fine at the endocrinologist. Praying for her to continue to grow and develop and most importantly, continue to bring joy to her wonderful parents! Hope she feels better soon!

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.
