R.I.P. Nathalie Anne "Dixie" Swienton
Obituary for Nathalie Anne Swienton:
Nathalie Anne “Dixie” Swienton, 79, of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma passed away Tuesday, March 22, 2016. She was born November 19, 1936 to Royal Herbert Doughty and Ruth Bernice (Black) Doughty in Ladysmith, Wisconsin.
Nathalie married the love of her life Andrew Warren Swienton on July 27, 1957 in Ladysmith, Wisconsin. They celebrated 49 years of life and marriage together.
Nathalie worked as a telephone operator for Bell Telephone, as an agent for Airways, and as an accounting clerk for Sears Roebuck until her retirement in 1990. Nathalie loved being a housewife and mother to her children. She loved to collect cobalt glass and snowmen. She was an avid reader, loved working crossword puzzles and traveling with her family. Nathalie also loved doing volunteer work for the Broken Arrow Public Schools System. Most importantly, Nathalie loved spending time with her grandchildren. She was also a faithful member of Trinity Lutheran Church.
Nathalie will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Herb and Ruth Doughty; her husband, Andy Swienton; sister and brother-in-law, Merle and Don Daniels; and brother and sister-in-law, Sam and Harriet Doughty.
Nathalie is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Andy and Jamie Swienton of Green Bay, WI; daughters and sons-in-laws, Pam and Frank Barrett of Muskogee, OK, DeeAnne and Chris Gilling of Pewaukee, WI, and Jean and Kelly Brassfield of Broken Arrow, OK; grandchildren, James Stevens of Muskogee, OK, Andi and Bryce Clark of Muskogee, OK, David and Blair Stevens of Sand Springs, OK, Kali and Pat Bell of Columbus, OH, Michael Gilling of Pewaukee, WI, Andrew Swienton of Green Bay, WI, Ryli Brassfield of Broken Arrow, OK, Hunter Swienton of Green Bay, WI, and Caden Brassfield of Broken Arrow, OK; great grandchildren, Margot and Dean Stevens of Sand Springs, OK, and Myles and Maxton Clark of Muskogee, OK; brothers and sisters-in-law, Hal and Doris Doughty of Eau Claire, WI, Paul and Bernice Doughty of Haugen, WI, Dan and Terry Doughty of Eau Claire, WI, Bernard and Carmen Doughty, St. Paul, MN, and Brendon and Karen Doughty of Wisconsin Rapids, WI; 21 nieces and nephews and many other family members and friends.
Nathalie will be reunited with her loving husband Andy Swienton at 9:00 a.m., April 2, 2016 at the Holcombe Cemetery on HWY 27 south of Holcombe WI. A "going home" celebration will be officiated by Pastor Bill Plautz. Following the graveside service there will be a memorial celebration meal starting at 11:00 am at the Fill-Inn Station, 104 W Columbia St, Chippewa Falls, WI. In lieu of flowers, we are asking family and friends to make donations to the Swienton Scholarship Fund, which will fund Tanzania students to attend Morogoro International School. Donations can be made at www.gofund.me/Swienton or make checks payable to Jean Brassfield with Swienton Scholarship Fund in memo line and mailed to First National Bank, 120 E Commercial St, Broken Arrow OK 74012.
Rest in peace.

Dangerous Doughty
Dangerous Doughty--a quantitative study of disproportion between the size of endotracheal tubes and splits in tonsillectomy gag blades:
Abstract
The Doughty split tongue blade is used routinely with the Boyle Davis mouth gag during tonsillectomy. If the width of the slot in the blade is excessive, then the endotracheal tube may herniate through the slot in the blade and become fixed and inseparable from the blade. We report two cases of paediatric tonsillectomy where this potentially serious complication occurred. The slot widths of disposable and reusable Doughty blades were measured and specifications were obtained from several manufacturers. All disposable paediatric Doughty blades and some of the reusable blades were found to have excessively and potentially dangerously wide slots. Compression testing of endotracheal tubes by the manufacturer demonstrated marked increases in deformability on warming to body temperature. Ensuring that the slot width of the Doughty blade is not excessive for the endotracheal tube used is essential and we give recommendations.
Please direct all question regarding the Doughty blade to Jay (coincidentally enough that was his nickname at drama camp).
