Madeline is finally home! We are enjoying our family being together again. Thanks for all your love and support.

Madeline is taking her formula and eating a little. Good progress so far!

Good Morning! Madeline is doing well and tolerating her formulas. We are going to back off her TPN (the nutrition she gets through her IV) and try and get her to eat. After not eating for two weeks, it is a little difficult to have much of an appetite. But the TPN has done its job. Madeline weighs the most she ever has in her life due to all the fats and nutrition she has gotten. Hopefully we can have Turkey day at home. If not we will survive. : )

Madeline is having a pretty good day. She is having almost no pain and she has taken 2 ounces of formula today. Unfortunately, she had a head cold now that she is dealing with. Hopefully this won't delay her going home any. Mimi came to visit today. Here is a picture of them today.

We have started some pedialyte and she seems to be taking this pretty good. We will be trying some formula tonight to see how she handles it.

Better Day

Happy Birthday Mimi! We love you!!

Madeline has had a pretty good day. She got a continuous drip of pain meds and a button to push when she feels she needs more. I like this because she can control it. She is in good spirits and seems more relaxed with the medication.

Madeline got to see Mickey Mouse today. Mickey Mouse even gave me a big hug. This brightened our day!

YUCK!

This pancreatitis isn't going to let go without a bang I guess. Madeline had a bad night and have gotten considerably worse since yesterday. Her blood work is showing some unstable levels and we feel like we at square one again. A week and a half in to this and we are going backwards. YUCK YUCK YUCK is all I can say.

Tuesday

Madeline is doing well...had some fluids today which is good news. We taking Ryder to the hospital tomorrow to see his sissy. He misses her very much. Hope to be home soon!

Sunday

Maybe a step forward today...???
No pain meds needed today.

Afternoon update

Madeline seems to be doing well except a little pain that comes and goes. Here are a few more pics of Katie and Gary visiting us today.

Friday, November 13th

Happy Birthday Pappy! We love you!

Madeline is in good spirits this morning. We had about 13 medical students come in our room to ask me questions about Madeline. Madeline loved the attention. It went really well and I enjoyed talking with them.

Madeline needs pain medicine from time to time. Things look promising and as soon as the tummy pains go away, we will start eating.

I plan on updating more often. Keep checking in!

Here is a picture of Uncle Gary with Madeline. He is always a constant support for us and comes in everyday to see Madeline. We are lucky to have our Uncle Gary!
