Good Friday turned out to be very good for Maddy. We went to the hospital to have blood work done this morning. For some reason, the nurses could not get a blood return from her catheter. (This has happened before, and they have to inject a certain medicine that sits in her lines for atleast two hours or more and opens them up.) This wasn't a good start. Maddy agreed to have them draw blood from her arm to get things going. Her blood work came back and looked great. She did not need any transfusions and her white blood cells were high enough that the doctor said we could stop the shots! WOOHOO! The nurse put the medicine in her lines and we said we would draw it off at home so we didn't have to wait in the hospital any longer (Russ and I are getting pretty good with all these medical procedures.) : )
We are having some family over for Easter this weekend. Maddy is excited about seeing her cousin, Casen, who is 1. She will have to have blood work done again on Monday and go to the clinic if she needs a transfusion by then, but we are going to take advantage of these next couple of days.
We hope everyone has a wonderful Easter and is able to spend time together enjoying the holiday!

What a "Good Friday" it turned out to be. So glad that you are able to celebrate at home together with your family!
ReplyDeleteMaddy,
A little birdie told me that you were shoe shopping yesterday. Hope Mom bought you a fun pair of shoes!
Happy Easter, Lambert family!
Mrs. Thiel
Dear Maddy and Family,
ReplyDeleteI agree, WOOHOO! No shots over Easter! I heard you had quite a visit from the Easter Bunny on Thursday! How much fun that must have been!!! Hope you haven't eaten all that candy yet!
So you went shoe shopping???? What did you get??? Did you get some cool flip-flops? Hopefully it will warm up enough to wear them or even go bare footed!
Tomorrow, Easter, I am going to sing the Alleluias extra loud just for you! Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
HAPPY, HAPPY EASTER to all of you! Don't eat too much chocolate!
Love and Prayers,
Miss Heckel
Hi Lamberts,

Have fun with your little cousin, Maddy. I hope you are enjoying your stuff from the Easter Bunny! And, did you get some of those zig zag shoes like you wanted?? I bet you did. What color?
Enjoy your day tomorrow with the family.
