Jinx

Well, we did not reach our goal! Maddy continued to not feel well and started to have a lot of pain and discomfort during the night, but she was not running a fever. We finally broke down and called the doctor when Maddy could not even sit up or sleep and at 3:30 AM, Maddy and Russ were headed back to the hospital. I got Julia taken care of and then headed to the hospital later in the morning. Maddy's symptoms are pointing to some kind of infection. They have Maddy on three different antibiotics and morphine for the pain. She had a CT Scan this morning and they are watching for any signs of the infection. Unfortunately, because she has no immune system, those signs don't always show up until the white blood count starts to recover. Maddy is feeling better and her pain is under control. We are now hoping to get things figured out, so we can come home soon!

  2. Praying for you and so is my Mom in Illinois. Hang in there Maddy, Russ, Julia and Dorothy. May you feel Jesus near and may he supply the wisdom the doctors need to find and fix what ails you, Maddy.
