Back at Home

Madeleine was released from the hospital today and we're rather confident that we've gotten her breathing/bradycardia issues under control. The doctors still want to conduct a milk scan on Monday morning to be sure that there are no major problems but we think that the changes we've made have solved the immediate issues. To recap, we've made the following changes:

- We're adding rice cereal to thicken the formula when she bottle feeds.
- Reglan has been added to her regimen to help with her reflux.
- We're going to be much more conservative when bottle feeding-- when Madeleine shows that she doesn't want to eat, we're going to use the feeding tube rather than push her too far.

With these three changes, we're pretty confident that it will solve the breathing and heart issues that were affecting Madeleine and led to her admission to the hospital. Assuming that the milk scan doesn't reveal anything major, we're hoping to leave for Michigan after the test tomorrow morning. (the doctors have already cleared us pending the milk scan.)

In short, we're ecstatic and hoping to be in Michigan late tomrrow evening.
