To all my recent angel babies and their supporters of AAMC NICU, this letter was really meant for you and I would very much like to share it... What a wonderful Christmas present!!!  I am so looking forward to working on the next calendar (our 5th one!!!) in January..stay tuned for details!

Dear Linda,

 As promised, following is an update on how the NICU has used the generous funds you donated to the department through the Angel Calendar sales.

. With a portion of the funds donated, the NICU purchased a new exam chair and new baby scale.  These items will make it easier for the nurses to perform their daily check ups on our babies.

.They purchased ten Medical Syringe Pumps to help staff to deliver precise medications and feedings to our tiny patients.

.Eight nurses were able to attend an educational conference, so they are up to date on the most recent treatments and protocols for NICU babies.

.An Armostrong Medical Crash Cart was purchased.  A crash cart provides the necessary medical supplies and equipment for transportation and dispensing of emergency medication/equipment for supplies and equipment for transportation and dispensing of emergency medication/equipment for life support protocols to potentially save a baby's life.

The NICU has seen un upsurge of babies in the past 5 years.  AAMC is Maryland's second largest birthing hospital with more that 5,200 births annually - where over 500 of these babies end up in the NICU each year.  As you can see, thanks to geneorisity, the NICU has greatly improved the care they are able to provide our tiniest patients because of the new equipment they were able to purchase.

Thanks so much, Linda, for your kindness, generosity, and all around great spirit!  You are truly an angel to the NICU.

Happy Holidays!

Sincerely,

Lisa Michelsen

CHLDREN PHOTO SESSION AT THE FARMHOUSE STUDIO!!!!


What a wonderful day it was today, great start to the weekend!  I had a morning session at the farmhouse studio, here in Davidsonville with two boys, ages 5 1/2 and 3 1/2...as they aptly told me...remember, the 1/2s count!!!!  We started out in Farmer Tim's Pumpkin Patch...the Strawberry Farm is always a great place for boys to explore.  As you can see the following image is worthy of a Gap Ad!

 

 

And, after exploring the barn and discovering the TRACTOR, they were so relaxed and in their element!!  Really, what boy doesn't love barns, tractors, woodpiles and straw!

 

 

 

Onward March!  Check out the sleeve!  I couldn't resist this photo.  Boy on a mission!!!

 

 

And then it was back to the farmhouse where they explored the pond to see if they could spot a frog.  Unfortunately, today the frogs were fast asleep.  But this photo tells all..the bond and love between 2 brothers!  Captured my heart!

 

And, here they are...laughing!  Could it be they were laughing at Ms. Linda's Ninja moves??  Oh, sure, they were but that's OK because Ms. Linda got the perfect shot!

 

 

And, now we have rounded out the session by returning back to the farmhouse and getting some wonderful shots on our Southern porch!  He wasn't posing, just checking something out!!!  Great fun!

 

 

That one image says it all!

 

 

Boys will be boys...playing under the Crape Myrtle tree!!!

 

 

And, finally, he points to the sky to see the flock of Canadian Geese showing off their fly-by just for him!  Great session!!  Great boys!
