New Plan

As one might expect, the Doctors conducted a bunch of tests on Madeleine in the past 24 hours and they're now waiting to see if anything grows in her cultures. While we wait to see if anything shows up, Madeleine is receiving IV fluids but they've stopped feeding her to give her intestines a break. Assuming everything continues to be fine-- and Madeleine is doing well-- they'll start giving her pedia-lite (essentially sugar water) tomorrow and then on Friday they'll start her back on formula. She'll spend the weekend in the ICU at Children's and, if everything remains calm, we'll re-convene on Monday and determine when to move Madeleine back to HSC.

In short, this just looks like a week delay. It is frustrating that she's gotten sick again and moved backwards but we're hoping that this is a temporary set-back (how many times have I typed that?) and we'll get back on schedule next week. That's all for now-- just wanted you to know the latest information. Thanks again for your support.
