Quick (but good) update

Kirsten pulled morning duty this morning so I don't have any pictures/video to report. I'm going to the hospital tonight and will either post pics/video tonight or tomorrow morning. On the medical front, we have good news to report. The Doctor (new attending Dr. is Dr. Scavo) ordered a test to determine if the intestinal ileus could be related to an infection. The test came back inconclusive last night and a new test was ordered this morning. Kirsten and I were a bit worried last night but the test came back with improved results and it appears that, at this time, there is no sign of infection. This is obviously good news and fits with the rest of her physical outlook-- she's comfortable, is still eating the small amount each day, and isn't displaying any other signs of infection (temperature, blood gasses, etc.) The Doctors will continue to monitor the results but right now, all looks good.

That's all as far as a medical update is concerned. A huge thank you goes out to all that have donated to the March of Dimes walk. I raised the goal again since we reached $1000 quite easily. Don't feel obligated to donate-- we just ask that you consider donating here if you'd like to provide support (the link is under the picture of Madeleine on the right). Thanks again-- have a great day.

I think you're going to have to raise the bar again...

Glad there's no infection. I will continue to wish away the ileus from up here in Boston ;)
