Sorry for the lack of updates-- Kirsten and I have been swamped with spending time with Madeleine while also planning our kitchen and preparing for construction (starting on Tuesday). In any case, I'll provide a quick update on Madeleine and then promise to provide better information this week. Madeleine was transferred to Hospital Services for Children (HSC), a rehab hospital. This was a major step as it indicates she's stable enough to leave the ICU. She's stable and is doing very well at HSC-- though she's run a bit of a fever this afternoon.
We'll know more about any potential infection tomorrow though everyone's inclination is that the fever is in reaction to a number of vaccinations she received at the end of last week.
That's all for now-- I know its not much. I just wanted to get up a quick post and a promise to provide better information this week. Thanks again to everyone-- we're getting closer to getting her home!

Thanks for the update. I (as well as my sister-in-laws) have been waiting VERY patiently for this update! So glad to hear that she was moved! Keep up the amazing attitude - even when you don't feel like it - she will be coming home and she can't wait for the new kitchen! xo Auntie Carrie
I know the rehab hospital sounded like a step back since it was not home, but I think it sounded like the next best step, as she had been so sick - even though improving - if something were to happen again soon, this facilty alows her to get immediate attention in a more equipped environment.
I know it must seem like a delay in the process of her coming home, but she will be coming home in a more stable state. Its like I tell my patients in the hospital, "this step will enable you to STAY home once you get there because this allows you to a little bit more time to heal. And even though your family is ready to have you there now the time will pass quickly as you focus on continuing to heal." Easier said than lived though.
The kitchen project will defintely help your time pass at home. You both are amazing and truly seem to be right on target with continuing on in this journey. Constant thoughts and prayers. Sarrah Byrne
