Tuesday

Madeline is about the same today...we are starting some light feeds to try and speed up her recovery. She is still fighting some pain. She has been vomiting some, so we are trying to decide whether to stop the feeds overall for a bit. We are watching her bicarb levels, which took a little dip overnight. They went from a 23 to a 19. It is important to keep these bicarb levels up to reduce the risk of acidosis. The fight continues....

On another note, we are in a nice new room, with a great view of Dallas. Our doctors and nurses have been wonderful, which always makes a difference during our stay here at Children's.
