Good morning all-- after last night's long blogs, I wanted to provide a quick update this morning. First-- I just changed the blog to allow you to leave anonymous posts as it is easier and quicker if you don't have a google account. (by all means, open a google account-- you're welcome Matt Ghering-- but don't do it on our accord) Still, if you choose this option, please write your name in the post so that we know who's leaving messages. We just want to make it as easy as possible for you to comment.
Okay, onto Madeleine. So far so good this morning. The nurses saw some signs of the NEC improving or at least stabilizing so that's a good thing. They are awaiting additional X-Rays and blood updates this morning to confirm that the night was indeed stable and potentially getting better. Additionally, the neonatologist -- Dr. Lotze-- is meeting with a cardiologist this morning. They are going to conduct an EKG and will determine a course of action for the PDA (heart duct issue.) That's all for right now-- we'll know more definite information later this afternoon.
One note from Kirsten-- we don't recommend googling any of this stuff-- its all pretty scary. If you do, please don't tell us. We're relying on our doctors to give us the pertinent information. Sometimes, especially in this Information Age, too much information is definitely bad.
Have a great day.
Kirsten and Brent

Good Morning,
I'm thinking of all three of you each day and sending lots of love your way. You are both amazing and Madeleine is very lucky to have you!
Love,
Alison
Hey Bushey Family,
Congrats on your beautiful baby girl! The only things I know about giving birth are what I've seen in the movies. There is supposed to be some kind of wacky doctor there to keep things interesting. The woman is supposed to get mad at the man for "doing this to her". And next thing you know, out pops an 18 month old baby. Ahhhh, movies. I think they're a bargain at $9.50.
It seems your experience has been slightly different. But, I can take comfort in knowing that you two are in charge. I can't think of two more loving, caring and capable people to take on the role of being parents. When you get home, let me know when I can come over and meet Madeleine, entertain you and drink all your beer.
You guys are in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi Kirsten, Brent, and Madeleine--congratulations on the new addition to the Bushey family. I've been thinking about y'all since I heard the news, and am thankful for the blog to know what's going on. I hope that Grady and Savannah aren't driving you too crazy, and if you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask. Also, when you're ready for food, please let me know. I'll have a pot of red beans and rice with your names on it. Take care, Danielle
Hey Kirsten - all 3 million of us out here in Oregon are thinking about you! Take care of the family! :-) You are one amazing Mama!
Hi guys! We are all praying for you in Costa Rica.

HI Guys,
Thank you for the update. As a NICU nurse I know that these are all scary things but I am sure she will be fine. It sounds like you have a great team over there caring for Madeleine. Keep your prayers strong and soon enough she'll be home with you. We send our love and Prayers,
Kellie and Sean
Praying for the three of you and proud of you also. Thanks for thinking of your family and friends and keeping us informed on the progress Madeleine is making. When that freezer gets empty let your family know, we'll get it loaded back up.
