March for Babies Mon, 21 Apr 2008 10:53:16 CDT
It has been a little more than a year since Kathy Harvey’s life was turned upside down - but in a good way. In February 2007, the Glasgow woman - who was a little more than 33 weeks into the average 40-week pregnancy - gave birth via cesarean section to healthy triplets at The Medical Center at Bowling Green. Harvey had begun having contractions while she and her husband, Brad, were watching the Indianapolis Colts and the Chicago Bears battle it out in the Super Bowl. She gave birth to Addie Grace at 11:28 p.m. that evening, followed by Chloe Palmer at 11:29 p.m. and Braden Allen at 11:30 p.m. “Our whole lives have changed since we brought home the triplets. We had a lot of sleepless nights, and the bottle stage was extremely difficult,” she said. “Brad was working nights when we brought home the babies. I had to take care of them at night, Brad had them during the day. We’ve gone through thousands of diapers and wipes.” Although they don’t have a lot of time to do much besides taking care of the babies, Harvey said she and her husband wouldn’t change a thing. “We no longer get out often, but we never would have known about all the joy, smiles and laughter they have brought us,” she said. Now the Harveys are giving other families hope as the ambassador family for the local March of Dimes 2008 March for Babies, formerly known as WalkAmerica. The 3-mile walk will begin with registration at 9 a.m. Saturday, followed by the walk at 10 a.m. at Phil Moore Park. The event will also include a light breakfast and lunch for walkers, children’s activities and music. Proceeds will benefit the March of Dimes, community director Sue Criss said. “Part of it will stay in Kentucky and the rest will go to our national office for research programs and advocacy,” she said. In the March for Babies, teams and individuals sign up to participate and turn in money the morning of the walk. Last year’s event raised $64,000. This year’s goal is $70,000, Criss said. “We’re expecting about 800 walkers,” she said. The Harveys were honored to be asked to be this year’s ambassador family. “We were overwhelmed with joy. We felt a great gratitude to be asked,” Harvey said. “We know that a lot of families depend on the March of Dimes for help and prayers to be answered.” Just being able to have the triplets was an answered prayer. After five years of trying and failing to conceive, the couple decided to try in vitro fertilization, in which the egg and sperm are fertilized outside the body, then placed in the uterus. The procedure was successful, but the pregnancy was difficult. Harvey gained 60 pounds, had to go to the hospital at least four times to stop contractions and saw doctors weekly to make sure she and the babies were doing well. It was all worth it, Harvey said. “They enjoy walking around the house. They love books. They love going outside,” she said of the kids, who are 14 months old now. “They love being around us and family. Their faces light up when we chase them. They chase our dog, Lola, around the house.” Harvey has advice for parents and parents-to-be of multiples. “First and foremost, take every day with God’s grace and know that prayers can be answered. Trust in all the doctor’s advice, and seek a specialist when needed,” she said. “Most important, stay together with all decisions needed to be made. Raising multiples is a joy in itself, but always keep a scheduled ‘tag-team’ with your loved one. Keep your head up and always know that God has a plan for all.” — For more information, call the March of Dimes office at 746-5411 or visit the organization’s Web site at www.marchofdimes.com.

Grad student enjoys health care field Mon, 21 Apr 2008 10:53:17 CDT
Kate Wright enjoys helping students live and learn. As coordinator of Western Kentucky University’s Living and Learning Community, she helps students in the College of Health and Human Service - which includes a variety of majors, including nursing, social work and family and child studies - navigate their way through their programs. Living and Learning Community is done in partnership with Greenview Regional Hospital. In the second year of the two-year program, students are set up with mentors from Greenview. “About 30 to 35 come in as freshmen. They live in the same residence hall and take a group of linked courses together,” she said. “I provide academic and social support for them.” While helping other students, the 22-year-old graduate student recently finished a thesis about the effects of fatigue on postural balance and will soon complete her master’s degree in exercise science. She plans to begin pursuing a doctorate of physical therapy at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. “I graduate May 9,” she said, smiling. Wright said she has always known she wanted to have a career in health care, so she decided to study nursing. Then, a friend who was studying physical therapy told her about exercise science. The major seemed a perfect fit for Wright. She said she can do a variety of things with an exercise science degree, including teaching, lab research, personal training, coaching, occupational therapy and cardiovascular rehabilitation. “I was a big athlete and was always interested in athletics,” she said. “I really liked learning about physiology, and it applied to what I knew. It was a common interest.” After earning a bachelor’s degree in exercise science from Auburn University, she worked with the U.S. Olympic Committee before moving to Bowling Green. “My dad did some stuff with them in the ’80s and ’90s,” she said. “I interned with them for six months in performance services and sports medicine.” In the past, she has held physical therapy jobs at two outpatient clinics and a hospital. Wright currently works part-time as a physical therapy technician at Greenview. “I do acute care with patients right out of surgery,” she said. “I walk them, help them do exercises in bed - whatever the doctor and physical therapist have decided to do.” Wright said interacting with patients at Greenview and students at Western is what she likes best about her jobs. She is happy to help Living and Learning Community participants. “I didn’t have someone I could call (as an undergraduate),” she said. “I’m older, but I’m not so much older that they don’t feel like they can’t talk to me.”
