Isabelle Bentley

This is a picture of my dad when I told him I was pregnant with Jack.  So I recreated it the next year with him and Jack. And now it's just a running joke so I did it with him and Izzie. I love that he humors me. There are not many people I'd feel comfortable asking to do this silly stuff with. Cuddling with grandma.  Owning to the nature of the farm - animals need care 24/7... my parents are not always able to both make it events in MA. My dad missed Izzie's baptism & bbq.  So I brought Izzie's baptism to him.

Someone turned 9 months old today! UTV ride. We also got the complete neurological write up from Children's today. Read it if interested: I had the pleasure of seeing Isabelle Bentley in the Stroke and Cerebrovascular Disorders Program in conjunction with my attending physician, Michael Rivkin. Isabelle was referred for initial consultation regarding her chief complaint of abnormal MRI. History is provided by her mother and review of the medical record. Although you are familiar with the patient's history, please allow me to relate pertinent portions of it for our records.  The patient is an 8 month-old girl with history of Trisomy 21, AV canal s/p repair in March, and hypothyroidism presenting for evaluation of an abnormal MRI. Isabelle was born at 36.2 weeks.  Prenatal imaging notable for AV canal and ventriculomegaly.  Diagnosis of Trisomy 21 made prenatally.  Isabelle had a head US shortly after birth that was notable for grade II IVH...

Izzie went for her first ride in a carriage.  A little too small for this but grandpa put shims in so she can touch the floor now. 

After an appointment that went obscenely long, we skidaddled up to New York to visit my parents for a few days. 

Izzie did great on the drive to and from NY.

We went to visit my parents - Izzie's first time in NY.
