Getting back on your feet
The importance of treating vascular disease
C Want to know more?
harles McClanahan, 66, knew
he needed to see a doctor
when he couldn’t walk to the next
room without experiencing pain and
discoloration in his legs.
“I would have to sit down and
rest for 15 minutes after a trip to the
mailbox,” McClanahan said. “It really
started to interfere with my everyday
life.”
His primary care physician referred
him to Glenn Lambert, M.D., vascular
surgery, who diagnosed McClanahan
with peripheral artery disease with
claudication.
Peripheral artery disease affects
blood flow in the arteries. Arteries
carry blood from the heart to the
muscles and organs. Diseased
arteries become narrow or blocked.
Claudication, which is pain in the calf
or thigh that occurs after walking, is
due to inadequate blood flow to leg
muscles. Peripheral artery disease
can cause the artery that normally
supplies blood to the muscle to
narrow so that less blood can flow.
At rest, enough blood flows to the
muscle to meet its needs. However,
when walking, the working muscle
needs more blood. The narrowed
artery may not let enough through.
According to Dr. Lambert, in severe
cases of the disease, amputation may
be required.
About a week after meeting
Dr. Lambert, McClanahan was on
his way to Norton Audubon Hospital
for a right femoral artery angiogram,
an angioplasty and stenting of the
left common iliac artery to open the
blockage.
“I went in for the procedure at
6 a.m., and I was on my
way home a little after
noon,” McClanahan said.

“I’ve been walking around
pain-free since that day.”

“Mr. McClanahan has had
wonderful results from the procedure,”
Dr. Lambert said. “I am extremely
pleased with his progress.”
Charles McClanahan is still amazed
at the advancements in technology
and the dedication of the physicians
and staff members who treated him.
“I never once doubted Dr. Lambert,”
McClanahan said. “He is one of the
nicest guys I’ve met, and he knew
exactly what to do to get me back on
my feet!”

Norton Healthcare introduces newest da Vinci Surgical System
Norton Healthcare recently installed the newest da Vinci Surgical System at Norton Suburban Hospital.
The first-generation technology was introduced in Louisville in 2005 at Norton Hospital.
“The latest model of the da Vinci integrates 3-D high-definition and robotic technology to virtually extend the
surgeon’s eyes and hands into the surgical field,” said Christopher Schrepferman, M.D., urology. “Surgeons most
often use the system for prostatectomies and gynecological procedures, including minimally invasive hysterectomies.”
The da Vinci system also is used for the treatment of gynecologic cancer, uterine fibroids, endometriosis and pelvic
prolapse. For more information about women’s da Vinci procedures or to find a da Vinci surgeon, call (502) 629-1234.

breast cancer Because there usually is no noticeable lump or finding
on a mammogram, IBC can go undetected until it reaches
an advanced, difficult-to-treat stage.
Symptoms usually develop quickly – over a period
of weeks or months. Swollen lymph nodes also may
be present under the arm and/or above the collarbone.
However, it is important to note that these symptoms may
also be signs of other conditions.
“IBC tends to grow rapidly and advance quickly,”
Dr. Seeger said. “It is important to notify your physician
immediately if you notice any changes in your breasts.”

A new era in breast health has emerged with the ability
to assess risk, recommend diagnostic tests, monitor and
provide chemoprevention or other options for women
at high risk for breast cancer. The Pink Ribbon Clinic
offers a unique venue for women seeking counseling and
direction for breast cancer prevention, helping transform
awareness into action that can reduce the risk of
developing cancer. Concerned women who have a family

After breast cancer
Exercise helps heal body, mind and spirit
A caretaker by nature, Anne Cooksey learned to
take care of herself by providing end-of-life care for
her mother-in-law.
“Although a mammogram was on my things to do,
I kept putting it off,” Cooksey said.
After her mother-in-law passed away two years
ago, Cooksey scheduled a mammogram. Her results
showed two suspicious spots resulting in a breast
ultrasound and then an open biopsy to remove
a larger tissue sample, which confirmed a very
aggressive form of cancer. Fortunately, the cancer
was diagnosed at stage 0 – the earliest possible

stage – which meant it had not spread within the
breast or to other parts of her body.
“I had a lumpectomy, followed by a full six-week
course of daily radiation therapy,” Cooksey said.
“I was sore and slow afterward.”
Her doctor told her about the Exercise After Breast
Cancer class at Norton Audubon Hospital. The class
uses low-impact exercises, strength training, yoga,
guided relaxation and music therapy to promote
physical and emotional well-being during treatment
and beyond. Classes are taught by oncology-
certified nurses who are nationally certified cancer
exercise specialists and understand what breast
cancer patients are going through.
“These classes have helped me improve my range
of motion, flexibility, strength and stamina,” Cooksey
said. “I’ve rebuilt my confidence and made some
good friends too.”

Diamond in the rough
K imberly Hicks has three beautiful children, but her
third baby came into the world with quite a story.
Hicks experienced sickness throughout her first two
pregnancies, so when she was ill and dehydrated during
her third pregnancy, she didn’t think much of it. That
changed when her water broke at just 22 weeks. She
rushed to her local hospital fearful that it was much too
early for her baby to be coming.
“A baby has a slim chance of survival when born at
22 weeks,” said Jonathan Cohen, M.D., neonatal specialist.
“With each day that passes, the baby’s chance for survival
improves.”
Although the chances of survival were in question,
Hicks wanted to continue her pregnancy and give her
baby every chance possible for a normal delivery. Her
doctor immediately transferred her to Norton Hospital,
where she had access to a high-risk obstetrical team and
her baby would be just steps away from the specialists

Kosair Children’s Hospital. Hicks was put on bed rest,
and doctors performed ultrasounds and took blood work
every three days to monitor the baby’s development.
Six weeks later, Hicks gave birth to a baby girl, exactly
three months early.
“They told me it would be a roller coaster,” Hicks said,
“and they were right.”
Diamond weighed 2 pounds and was breathing on
her own, but because she was premature, she needed
the specialized care offered at Kosair Children’s Hospital.
Diamond spent 21 days of her three-month stay in the
NICU on a breathing machine.
“The nurses told me there would be good days and bad
days, but that when the good days started to outnumber
the bad days, that’s when things would get better and
easier,” Hicks said.
They were right. Today Diamond is a precocious
19-month-old who loves being the center of attention.
“The staff at Kosair Children’s Hospital are God’s gift to
these children,” Hicks said. “Because of them, I have my
beautiful baby.”

Sister Ann Molony
A faithful volunteer retires
For the past 15 years, Sister Ann Molony has been
rocking babies as a volunteer in the neonatal intensive
care unit (NICU) at Kosair Children’s Hospital. She retired
this year, after devoting her life to children.
A native of Covington, Ky., Molony taught school for
25 years, including nine years teaching first grade at an
all-boys school in Boston. She had 75 boys in one class.
She also worked in an orphanage in Memphis.
Molony is a Sister of Charity of Nazareth and a recently
commissioned Kentucky Colonel. Four days a week she
nurtured many of Norton Healthcare’s tiniest patients.
“They need to bond to someone,” she said. “Some of
their parents live out of town and can’t visit often; the
babies need love.”
There is no way to calculate how many children’s lives
Sister Ann has touched during her years of service, but
she insists she is the one who has benefited the most:
“I’ve had a lot of rewards,” she said. “I have a lot of
memories.”
To make a donation in Sister Ann Molony’s honor to
support the critical services provided by the Kosair Children’s
Hospital NICU, call the Children’s Hospital Foundation at
