Cardiologist

This could be our last visit to the cardiologist!!! Unless our high risk doc feels like he sees something the cardiologist needs to look at he thinks that Maddy's heart looks fine now. The way he put it was if he had not seen us before he would say it looks normal. He thought it might be still slightly shifted back in the chest just a bit, but couldn't even say that for sure. If had definitely rotated back into the correct position, the anatomy looked good, everything looked normal. So we are praising God today for this great news and all of you can praise him with us. This is an amazing blessing from God. We are still praying for her feet of course because we don't know what is going on with them, but that is not as huge of a concern as the heart for us. At least, not right now. Thanks for all your prayers and keep praying for us.
Other news: We had Abbey fixed on Sunday. We went to a mobile vet clinic in Lewisville. She was pretty groggy the first night. She hate the cone collar they put on her to keep her from chewing at her incision but she has adjusted to it much better than the first day. She is supposed to wear the collar for 5 days. We have to keep her in the crate when we aren't around so the last couple of days have been miserable for her poor thing. I will be home the rest of the week though so she won't have as much time to spend in the crate.
We are planning to head for Colorado on Saturday, weather permiting. I think Aaron can get enough time off for us to spend about a week at each side of the family. That will be awesome. I've got lots to do before we leave--cleaning, finishing Christmas shopping, packing.
I am finished with every class but history. Tonight I have to go to get my paper back and listen to a student presentation. I think the final is online. I have studied some just in case, but I don't think I'll be taking it tonight.
We are praying Jennifer's sonogram goes great today.

Thanks for the prayers for us, too. Our sono went wondefully, and we are having a BOY!! Guess that pee test isn't 100% accurate anymore!! I posted a blog about it.

hooray! Thanks so much for keeping us updated on Maddy. Still praying for you three. Sorry about Abbey. That sounds pretty miserable for her. Lilly was sick the other night and threw up 8 times! It was slightly ridiculous. I stayed in the living room so I could be near her. Felt bad, bad as per usual doggyness, she was just fine the next day.

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.
