This was our first visit to Dr. McCloskey in his new practice. He had left Mary Bridge Children's Health Center due to a contract disagreement. Good for him! I'm sick of watching doctors get assimilated by HMO's and the like to be turned in to Borgs. I'm glad he had the integrity that many doctors seem to be lacking. His new office is nice, more patient oriented and has a much calmer and friendlier atmosphere.

Cindy still has Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVC's) so she was hooked up to a holter for another 24 hour test. They used a different type of Holter this time. It is a digital one and it is about the
Dr. McCloskeysize of a pager. The older ones were tape and about two times as big as a walk man. But the thing quit running and I could not get it started up again. We had to drive back to Tacoma and get her a new holter the next day. So I had to make three trips to Tacoma this week.

Cindy is hooked up to her holter as I type this. After it's been on for 24 hours I'll take it off her and mail it in. Dr. McCloskey will give us the results in about a week. While we were in Tacoma we went to the mall and got Cindy's Santa photo done. She was wearing her holter while sitting on Santa's lap. The picture turned out ok what do you think?
