4 weeks old today!


Miss Maddie is 4 weeks old today!  I'm completely unable to wrap my mind around everything that has happened in the last 4 weeks but feel so grateful we've made it this far.

Yesterday Maddie got her left chest tube out.  This is her major change for the next few days - they are watching her closely to make sure the fluids dont reaccumulate.  If they do and start to cuase her trouble breathing again, she'll get a new chest tube.  If her fluid drops or drains out of the right side at a good pace, we'll start trying to feed her later in the week and continue to wean her toward extubation. 

Dillan is living with us full time at the Ronald McDonald house.  We are adjusting and so happy to have him with us.  Last night we got to hold Maddie again and then I came back and slept with Dillan in my arms - the first time i've been able to hold both of my babies in the same day. 

Sporting her leg warmers.  So darn cute

Our first full look at her angry repair incision.  Its healing great
