We are on the right track with Madeline...her pancreas enzymes are back in the normal range. But even after that happens the pancreas hurts for a few days, so she still needs pain medication and fluids to get through this stage. She is getting morphine to deal with the pain.

Even through all this, she is showing a sense of humor...after pushing her button (which administers morphine), she held it up to her mouth and says, "Coming right up, Captain!"

As usual Madeline is showing us strength, courage, and is an inspiration to everyone. She is one tough cookie.

Here is a picture of Madeline visiting with a dog they bring by as a type of therapy for the kids.
