Maddie is doing really good today. The doctors are very excited about her progress. They took her breathing tube out and put a device in her nose to help her lungs fully expand as she breathes. She is very responsive. When I talk to her, her heart rate and blood pressure go up. This is good because it means she is responding to me. She is also making good eye contact. Phil's mom is here spending time with Katie and Jack, his sister Jacque left today but she has been very helpful too.
Maddie has good color. Right now she looks like a baby elephant with the device in her nose helping her lungs. She has these wires coming out of her belly that the nurse called "jumper cables", I almost fell on the floor when she said that. They are hoping those will be removed Sunday. She still is not ready to take a bottle yet. She will stay in the PICU until she eats and they are comfortable with what she eats.
Thanks again for all the prayers and well wishes. We hope by Christmas this will all be a memory. Just so you know Katie and Jack are doing VERY well. This morning I let them make pictures for Maddie to hang on her crib. This can't see her untill she is out of the PICU. TTFN!!!
P.S. Bummer for the Irish, what a loss in quadruple over time!!!!
