Quick Update from Children's

Not much to report right now. Madeleine is about the same as she was on Wednesday meaning she's still fighting a cold and they're pretty convinced its just a virus. They have her on oral anti-biotics to prevent a bacterial pneumonia. She's running intermittent fevers and is generally grouchy-- pretty much like anyone else with a bad cold. The difference is that she's still on increased oxygen consumption and that's the factor keeping us from going home. We're hopeful that once she starts to turn the corner, she'll wean quickly from the oxygen and get on out of here. That being said, she hasn't turned the corner yet.

That's all-- nothing too bad just slow and frustrating. We wouldn't expect anything else!

Oh man, sorry Madeleine is back in the hospital. Hope she beats this cold quickly and gets back home. By Tuesday!

Thanks for the updates. I look forward to checking in each day. We love the pictures, she is such a doll! My students at school ask me daily to check and see if there are any new pictures of her. XOXOXO to Madeleine on her fist b-day.
