sisters reunited
so excited
craft- time
jed playing catch-up!Yesterday evening seemed to be one of much less pain for Mads. She has even smiled a few times this morning. Today they will try to ween her off of some of the narcotics. They can tell that she is getting gas build up from the pain meds... We need to make sure that her colon is clear for the x-ray day 6 or she will not be allowed to attempt eating. The pain team said that as they take the meds down she will be pretty miserable from post op gas pain but that the only way to get the colon moving is to drop of the narcotics..one of those issues where it has to get worse before it can get better. Pray that her pain is manageable.
Ted and Danielle came with miss Olivia last night. The girls were so sweet together. They painted in bed together. Olivia was so sweet and said " i wish I was the bigger sister so that i could hold Maddie because that would make her feel better".
I went to the hotel last night and slept with Olivia. I got a good solid nine hours sleep so that was a huge blessing. Jed is snoozing after a shorter night here with Maddie. He will take a turn at the hotel tonight.
Thanks for your continued prayers,
Nikki

Such precious pictures! Love Olivia's tenderness with Maddie! So glad you got a good night sleep and hope Jed gets one tonight! We will be praying for that pain management and that the gas would move and not become trapped! I am sure they have told you this, but being up and moving gets the gas moving! How much is she able to be up and about? Love you all!
Ohhh my goodness. SO SO glad that the surgery is over and Maddie is on the road to recovery. Today is the first day that I have read your blog. WOW, what an incredible ordeal everyone is having to go through. It brought tears to my eyes, just reading everything that you all are experiancing. You know the old say, "this hurts me more than it hurts you.". SO SO TRUE when our kiddies hurt. We wish we could take the pain for them. POOR BABY!!! WE are PRAYING PRAYING PRAYING for you Maddie dear. We can't wait to have you back in Freeport (with Libby of course). SO wish that we were closer so that we could pop in an say hi and give you guys a break. HANG IN THERE we are praying!!!
All's fine here; we are having an open house tomorrow. We have 7 weeks until we move so are busy gathering boxes, tubs etc. and are starting to pack; YIKES!!!
We picked up a package from between the two doors; it's a pretty flat package from True, Inc. Also a pair of black "slipper like shoes" from American Eagle.
Miss you guys and are praying for all of you!!
