She makes the difficult adjustment to life in Colorado with the aid of rugged outdoorsman and friend to the Cheyenne, Byron Sully (Joe Lando) and a midwife named Charlotte Cooper (played by Diane Ladd). After Charlotte is bitten by a rattlesnake, she asks Michaela on her deathbed to look after her three children: Matthew (Chad Allen), Colleen (played by Erika Flores and later, Jessica Bowman) and Brian (Shawn Toovey). Dr. Mike settles in Colorado Springs and adapts to her new life as a mother, with the children, while finding true love with Sully. Furthermore, she acts as a one-woman mission to convince the townspeople that a female doctor can successfully practice medicine.

Beth Alford-Sullivan's women's track team set a School record and NCAA record in the 4x200 relay and she didn't know it. Or at least she acted like she didn't know it. It was freshmen Megan Cherry's first race. I never respected her as a coach and this video makes me respect her even less. I feel sorry for the athletes that have to run for a so out of touch track coach. Shame on you Beth Alford - Sullivan for being the worst coach to ever coach. No wonder you apply to coach every USA team you can and pay the fees. Because you can't coach!!
