July - What We've Been Up To

Some boating:

Staying cool - this summer has been hot!

Color Running:
A 5k that douses you in colored corn starch every kilometer - this race was so hot and on the MN State Fair grounds (really boring scenery)





Bounce house:


Our most recent excitement:

Last week I got a call at work from Craig telling me to get home quick to take him to the hospital. Luckily we had a neighbor home who drove him in and I meet him there. After several tests it was determined that he had appendicitis (it was about 8:30 pm by that time)! The surgeon was called in and he had do another appendectomy on a teenage girl first so Craig didn't go into surgery until 10:30 pm.  He got up to his room for the night at about 12:30 am.  He got to home the next afternoon but has been pretty sore since then. His appendix did perforate a little bit so we are on infection watch, but we are happy he seems to be recovering ok. I ended up cancelling a work trip because he can't lift Maggie for two weeks! Obviously I took pictures...

Here is Craig in the ER after he downed his bottle of contrast for the CT:

The day after surgery:

All better:)

I work for Covidien, which is a really large company, but it's newer and not many people have heard of it so imagine Craig's suprise when they started covering him in Covidien products in the pre-op area:

The finger pulse ox sensor and monitor-

and the leg compression system (prevents pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis):


I actually don't work on either of these products but it's still fun to see:)
