Madeline has finally broke her fever today! The antibiotic that we needed to give her caused a serious reaction that kept us up most of the night last night. She was itchy and and her face began to to swell. It was pretty scary. But the antibiotic knocked out the 103 degree fever that was lingering. She has also started to take some of her formula today and got some nutrition. We are limited to what we can do with Madeline due to her kidney disease she suffers from. There are many medications we have to avoid. So today has been a sleepy non active day and a recovery day after last night. We got visitors today from one of Madeline's very best friends! Brooke, her mom Emily and her brother Corey came also! They brought all kinds of goodies for Madeline. Thank you Yarish family!!

Madeline Earlier Today Before Fever

Today is day 6 of Madeline's hospital stay. She was diagnosed with pancreatitis with high liapase levels. Her levels are now back to normal but she is fighting off some left over pain from the pancreatitis. On top of that she has developed a 103 fever today that we are trying to manage. They have drawn blood and are doing a few cultures to figure out where the fever is coming from. Madeline, as always, continues to be positive and an amazing fighter. Children's provided a "Costume Shop" for kids to pick out a costume. Madeline has picked Bat Woman! Can't wait to see her dressed in it! I will post some pics soon. More health updates to come.
