WELCOME KYLIE<br />
ELIZABETH<br />
FAMILIES AT OBRAS HOSPITAL<br />
Kylie Elizabeth (AKA<br />
"The Cutie") was<br />
born late Tuesday<br />
night (8/28). She is<br />
Erin and Brandon<br />
Leahy's first baby<br />
and grand baby #3<br />
for us. She decided<br />
to come a little<br />
early (3 weeks) so<br />
is a very petite 4 lb.<br />
13 oz. and a mere<br />
17 in. and every bit<br />
adorable. There will<br />
be some ongoing adjustments for us all as<br />
she has a hole in her heart that will need<br />
to be repaired in about three months, and<br />
she has Downs Syndrome, which Brandon<br />
has already reframed as "Ups" syndrome.<br />
For now everyone is resting up, and the<br />
family hopes to be home by the weekend.<br />
To be continued... Grandpa Dan Leahy<br />
Each summer Dean Cyndy FitzGerald goes to<br />
Guatemala with the Faces of Hope medical mission<br />
team to serve children with cleft palate, cleft lip,<br />
and severe burns. Ashley and her grandmother<br />
returned for follow-up this summer and recognized<br />
Dr. FitzGerald and her puppet friend, Clifford, on the<br />
first morning of clinic. Cyndy provides play and art<br />
therapy, as well as literacy development in her work<br />
with Guatemalan families. <br />

CONGRATULATIONS!<br />
Don’t expect Griffin James Carver to participate in any<br />
class discussions at the upcoming residential cohort.<br />
The newest LIOS Graduate College ‘student’ hasn’t<br />
filled out his official application but he’s welcome<br />
anyhow. Griffin is the son of second-year LOD student,<br />
Larke Brost, and her husband, Jon Carver. Griffin<br />
politely waited until his mother finished her June<br />
classes before making an appearance on July 3. He<br />
will accompany his mother to the next RC. •
