Well, Thursday night I went home while my mom stayed at the hospital with Maddie so I could spend a few hours with Katie and Jack for Katie's birthday. I already had her birthday presents wrapped and picked up a small chocolate chip cookie. We had dinner together and laughed a little before I went back to the hospital. It was nice. THANKS Grandma Bacho!!!! And Linda for helping out with Katie and Jack while Maddie was back in the hospital.
Late Friday evening I was driving Maddie home. She had gained some of her weight back and was eating better. She did catch a cold. Because of a few issues with Maddie's diaphragm, she can not catch a cold. So it was caught early enough and did not turn into pneumonia. To help keep it from turning worse she is on an antibiotic for ten days and breathing treatments for 3 weeks. At this point we go back to the doctor to find out how she is doing. They did do an echo on her heart. I heard the doctor say it looked so good you can't even tell it was repaired from the inside.
So although the last thing I wanted to do is make that horrible drive back to the hospital, it appears to have been the best thing for her. I am still getting up every 3-4 hours to feed her to make sure she is getting the most calories possible. I am sure one day I will get some real sleep. We go back to the family doctor Monday or Tuesday. I have to call to find out when they can see us. We'll see what he says.
On top of all that was going on Friday afternoon about 4pm we get a call from the school telling us that Jack has a really bad case of pink eye. Unfortueately, Jack had pink eye one other time this year. I already had the medicine for it at home that he could be treated right away. His eyes were so bad the one was almost swollen shut. Today it looks ten times better, just a little blood shot. I really don't know how much we can handle at one time but I do not want to find out.
Hope everyone is trying to enjoy the Holiday Season!!!! TTFN
