Pictures of Kate Pre and Post Surgery

Hi Everybody,
Here are some pictures from before and after Kate's surgery. She is doing well. Other than the incisions behind her ears and a good chunk of her hair missing, you wouldn't even be able to tell she just had surgery. She is definitely back to her old self today.

This is what the device looks like that was implanted in Kate's head. Two were implanted - one behind each ear. They have to remove some of the bone in her skull in order for it to fit in a little head. Surgery took about 6 hours.

Here's Kate picking out colors for her processor that will go on the outside of her head. Part of it will stick to the implanted device in her head by a magnet and another part of the processor can either be worn behind her ear or clipped to her shirt. I'll post pictures of Kate wearing them after her next appointment.

Anna and Matthew having some fun with the hospital equipment while we were waiting for Kate to get out of surgery.

Patti trying things out too. I think you missed your calling Patti.

This is the evening after surgery. Kate started surgery at 8 a.m. and was finished around 2 p.m. We got to leave the hospital around 5:30 p.m. that night. Here we are at the hotel by the pool area.

Enjoying ice cream...her first meal of the day in the game room area of the hotel.

Hanging out before bedtime.
This is the next morning (Wednesday morning). We had just got back from the clinic getting her big bandage removed and meeting with her surgeon. He said she did excellent through everything and everything looks about as good as it can be. She has about a 2-inch incision behind each ear.

Happy girl now that she knows we're packing up and heading home.

Half way home...we're eating supper in Fargo before the final trek home. She did awesome traveling and slept the majority of the time. We're so proud of our little trooper!

Thank you so much for all of the support and prayers that you all have sent Kate's way. It means so very much to all of us. Patti and Anna, a special thank you for spending the day of surgery with us. The time went by so much faster with you there and Matthew had a blast. Hopefully the worst is over and we can look forward to the next part of our journey...getting the processors turned on and Kate hearing for the first time! Our next trip to Mayo is in 3 weeks, April 14 and 15, when they will activate her implants. Please continue to pray that all goes well. I'll keep you all updated. Thanks so much and take care.
Love,
Christy

Fisher family news

Well, I thought it was about time I posted an update of our crazy life and how it is going. First I apologize for any phone calls I didn't return etc the last few weeks, just seems like I was going in about twenty different directions.
We have sold our house. It is scheduled to close on May 3rd. It is to a younger couple from Colorado- he is an engineer and works for one of the many oil companies around these days. We had started looking for a place to go and were amazed at how little was out there in the price range we were hoping to stay within. What we did find all seemed to be split foyers with lots of steps etc. I have a client who is moving to Hawks Point and wants to wait until after July 4th as they are having a family reunion. I just love her home and so we talked to her kids and ended up making an offer and allowing her to stay until July 15th. We will be moving in to Pat's folks house that we own as our renters are moving out of there and it will be empty. We will just move minimal stuff in there and the rest of our stuff we will be able to move into the garage & basement at Elizabeths. The house is located on the corner of 12th Ave W and 12th St West., a block south of where we lived just after Todd was born and when Traci was born. Up in the Trinity area. The house is a rambler with a beautiful open courtyard that has panels for the winter months. We are pretty excited to get back into town and even though it will get a little crazy - I am sure it will all work out. Just for everyones information - both our kids did offer to let us live in their basements. We felt that was a little too much to ask.
Well hope that brings everyone up to date for now & we will keep you posted. If I have a nervous breakdown before this is all over I am sure one of the kids will post.
Also was glad to hear the little uodate on Katie - hope all is well. Let us now - we are all praying for you all.
Love Kathy

Kitchen update





Jake here are the lastest pictures i promised you. As you can see the project and Robbies games have kept us pretty busy. We only have the flooring and then a few small items left to do so then we can start enjoying it. Audrey and the kids took off this morning for Rodchester and she made sure she left me a long enough TO DO list to keep me out of trouble. I will try to keep you all informed on Katie as soon as I hear any news. Please keep her in your prayers. Patty, Mathew is sure looking forward to seeing you and Anna on Tuesday. Everyone take care.
Love Papa

Thursday @ 10:00 am

Just a reminder that the deadline to have your bracket in is tomorrow, Thursday @ 10:00 am. By the looks of it there are still ALOT of you that are not yet signed up. Remember, this is the type of thing you can win and you do not need to know much about it. If you have any questions or problems let me know. Also, if you are already signed up and see a sibling or parent that is not, call them and yell at them to get their poop in a group.

UPDATE TO NCAA POOL

Todd said,"I have changed the settings so you are now allowed to submit up to 5 brackets per user name. This way anyone with kids can enter them in as well. Just make sure that their name is somewhere in the bracket name. Also, if your own child beats you that is an automatic round of drinks at the next family function."

Lee, your dog is not eligible.

This will make it easier for everyone of all ages to have an entry. Mary and Audrey, that includes you.

Get your picks in!

Tournament Time!!!

We have had some interest that we start a family NCAA basketball tournament pool. Therefore, I have set up a group at Yahoo.com so we can all have a little fun with this years tournament. Patty and my mom have decided that the winner will get a prize not yet determined but will come from Grandma Morey's oil money. This should be a lot of fun and provide a little reward for the best picker. Try to get everyone in your family in and lets really make this an exciting tournament.

To get entered, first you must have an account at Yahoo.com. If you do not its not hard to sign up for one. Its free and very quick and easy. Then here are the steps to follow:

-Go to http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/t1
-Click on "Join a Group"
-Click on "Join Group"
-Enter the following group ID: 79403 password: boomer
-Enter a creative name for your bracket and click "Save and Continue"

You are now entered in the group and can go ahead and pick your bracket. If you have any questions or problems let me know at 701-290-7574. Make sure you save your bracket after it is all filled out or it will not count anything during the tournament. Also make sure you have your Champion picked and a final tie breaker score picked.

Good Luck to everyone and lets get this thing rolling.
