todays update...

Mads had a good night sleep last night. Slept from about 9 until 6. Had an xray done this morning and they say that it looks pretty good. some gas still in there. Dr. Pena said that he does not want to start food again yet. Today she will do clear liquids and see how that goes. They expect the stool sample results tonight or tomorrow morning. The resident said that what they are looking for is a bacteria that is a result of the antibiotics that she was on after surgery. Something about your good flora being messed up.

We are assuming that we will be staying at this fine home away from home several more days. If there is no food today then hopefully that will happen tomorrow. I am confident that they will not let her go within 24 hours of eating as they will want to make sure that everything is working. The resident said as she left " see you on Monday". I almost cried!!! Do you think that 5/3rd bank will give us a reduced mortgage this month since we have not been home???!!! The days go much slower with the isolation because we can not go to the playroom or do anything fun. Child life has been good about bringing crafts and games to the room. Trying to keep all of us from going stir crazy!

Madison seems pretty comfortable. She is still not interested in drinking anything. I am wondering if she is fearful that she will get sick. She has only complained about belly pain a few times today. We will keep you posted as we get any new info.

Thanks for the prayers,
nikki

That good flora is important...When she starts eating again, I wonder if she would enjoy a few yougurts..that would add to the good flora. =)

Nikki,

Feel free to babble all you want - it helps us stay connected. Your mom is right - try to get a nap. I am so amazed at what God is doing for you in Ohio. I know it's been hard and difficult, but I also know a lot of your strength is coming straight from above. Isn't it great we have direct access, no middle men!
There are also several others, besides your dad who would like nothing better than to be there with you.
I will be passing through, or I should say around Cinncinati on Monday on my way to Lynch, KY with Mel Derr and a few teens for a short mission trip. We will wave. :)
With many prayers and much love,
Mama Mae
