Spring Break (Day #8)

God is good ALL the time, ALL the time God is good!
Today was a GOOD day...

Maddy was finally able to open her eyes today and keep them open without pain. They are still watering, but we can handle that. An eye doctor is going to come tomorrow just to check her out, but hopefully she is on the road to recovery.

Maddy was due for a dressing change so she took a nice long shower today. (A reminder that we often take the little things in life for granted until they are taken away.)

Maddy's blood pressure has been holding steady so they have decided to back off of the medication to see how she does on her own.


Dad and Julia, armed with hand sanitizer and masks, came to visit this evening. It was so good to see Maddy and Julia together. They were huddled around the iPad playing games together. (Thanks to everyone who made this possible!)



Thanks to everyone for continued thoughts and prayers! They truly do help us get through each day.

P.S.- Maddy wanted me to let Mrs. Hurst know that Dad did share the cookies. Also, she wanted to let Megan know that the monkey has slept with her every night since we got to the hospital.

    So glad to hear your eyes are feeling better and that you could play tonight with Julia and your I-Pad. A lot of people have been praying for your eyes and for that pain to go away. Yeah God!!

    I hope you have another good day tomorrow! Even a GREAT day!

    Love you,

  4. Such wonderful news about Maddy's eyes! I am glad the girls were able to be together again, they need each other.

    Maddy, yesterday when I went to get my hair done in Perrysburg, my sylist noticed my green bracelet and ask me about it. I told her all about you and what you have been through and your green bracelets and green shirts. Her response to me was that she had never known a little girl who was loved so much by so many people. She said that she too would say prayers for you. You have touched so many people without even knowing it.

    I hope each day gets better. I am grateful to your mother for keeping us all updated. I cannot wait until she posts that your counts are coming up too!! I have prayed a lot for that to happen.

    Take care and rest well!
