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.
