Maddy Fletcher, M.D.

On Wednesday morning a trauma patient arrived at the Fletcher Hospital E.R. Maddy Fletcher, M.D., the doctor on duty, quickly bandaged the patient, Minnie Mouse, and administered medication.
 Minnie was sent to recovery for a few hours where she was issued standard hospital garments. Sorry Minnie but they don't make hospital garments in extra extra tiny.
Minnie was given another dose of medicine and an outlet cover. Maybe her accident had something to do with an unfortunate encounter with electricity?
 Minnie was then transferred to.....?
 Oh my! This doesn't look good for Minnie. Is this the hospital morgue?
 Oh! Ha ha! Thank goodness. Minnie was just being measured for a bed. A perfect fit!
 Minnie was then taken to some kind of play therapy session. In this picture the therapist offers Minnie an orange plastic fish and instructs her, "Grab this. Try to grab it."
 Minnie is taken from play therapy to ICU (right outside the door) to spend the night.
 The next morning, Minnie is doing so well she is transferred to a regular room upstairs. (At one point it seemed that  Minnie was having some kind of cardiac arrest episode because the doctor started yelling and beating on her chest. However, that was quickly over.)  The nurse offers Minnie a Hershey's Kiss. Minnie must have been nauseated from all her medication because she didn't want the chocolate.
 So the nurse ate it for her.
 Later in the day, Maddy Fletcher, M.D. puts Minnie through a series of rigorous tests which involve Minnie hold puzzle pieces.
 Ehhhh...she's fine. Minnie is released from hospital care and the doc gets some much needed R&R on Minnie's bed.
 On Friday morning, Minnie returned for a check up. Dr. Maddy removed Minnie's bandages. We haven't seen Minnie back in the hospital so it looks like she's made a full recovery!

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.
