It was a very long day, but we finally got home around 7:30 PM. Maddy's surgery to remove her old port and replace it with a Broviac catheter went well. Maddy is quite sore, but hopefully will bounce back quickly before her next chemo treatment on Thursday. With this new catheter, Maddy will not have to get anymore needle pokes, but it is a lot more maintenance since it is partially external. Russ and I will get our lesson on how to do dressing changes and take care of the catheter to prevent infection when we go back to the hospital on Thursday.
It has been a long week and it is only Monday! We are glad to be home and hope to get a good night's sleep without the beeping of IV machines...
Thanks to everyone for continuous prayers!
I am glad to hear that all of the Lamberts are home again. I pray for a restful night of sleep for all of you. Thinking of you all!

Dear Maddy,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your new quilt. Oh how special to feel the love from your classmates and your wonderful teacher, Miss Hurst and her Mom wrapped around you. I bet a lot of nurses and doctors were impressed! You look great! Enjoy your family and the feel of your own bed :-) You are in our thoughts and prayers.
P.S. I just saw Mrs. Clark on the news at McDonalds in Archbold at the Valentine supper!!!
The Garrow family continues to embrace you with our prayers everyday! Maddy, Delaney misses you so much and sends her love. Sweet dreams...now that everyone is sleeping where he/she belongs! :)
ReplyDeleteMy health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever.

Welcome home, Maddie!!!! I am so glad that you made it back home! We are praying you get stronger today and are ready for tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI love the verse the Garrows shared. This verse is on a paper right above my computer.
God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and a sound mind.
