Good Afternoon to all of you.... loving, caring, friends and family.
Madelyn is still holding on and continuing to be the fighter that we know she is.
There is no real change, still in ICU in critical condition and they are working on addressing her overall health needs by adjusting her meds. She is still on the ventilator and in an induced coma state and will be in this condition for as long as she needs to be in order to get well.
She still has the new influenza virus, so please be mindful of not coming to the hospital if you are at all sick.
We are not allowed to spend time with her today as it is too much stimulus for her. As you can imagine is very difficult for the family, but this is what Madelyn needs right now for her healing.
We still remain cautiously optimistic and are all looking towards to day when she is well.
Kara & Bob are so very thankful for all of your love. Your words and prayers are so heartfelt and appreciated.
Mallory is also on the mend and will be back to school Monday, which she is super excited about. She misses her sister so much, but understands that her sister needs to be at the hospital to get better.
We cannot say enough good things about Madelyn's team of doctors, nurses, and respiratory therapist here at Sacred Heart. Madelyn could not be in better hands. We thank them all for taking such good care of our Maddy. We also are grateful for the generosity shown by Bob's co-worker's. Their pto/vacation donation hours are an amazing gift. Thank you.
I will continue to keep you all updated as I know more.
Again, please continue to keep Madelyn in your prayers. She is still in great need of your prayers, love, and positive thoughts as she has a long way to go on her road to recovery.
Thank you.
Madelyn you are strong and showing everyone what a fighter you are. We are thinking about you and your family all the time and I know you are going to make it thru this.

I am so proud to be your Aunt, Madelyn Marie. You have shown great strength in your fight and I believe that you will carry this strength with you throughout your full, long, and happy life.
ReplyDeleteTake as much time as you need to get better Mad because this is how you always do things, at your own pace. We are waiting for you, cheering you on at every corner you turn. And remember what your nurse Sarah says...slow and steady wins the race.
I could not love you more or be prouder of your strong will. Keep up the wonderful job Mad!
I love you Mad.

ReplyDeleteI work with your Daddy and I have seen the light in his eyes every time he talks about you and your sister. My prayers are with you and your family for strength and healing. My prayers hold hopes of your recovery and the hope to meet you. Stay strong and fight hard little one as God is on your side. Bob, Kara, Maddy and Mallory you are in my prayers each and everyday.

It is my prayer that God touches the hands of all that are caring for you...That he holds you in the folds of his arms and breathes wellness into your body. God is a loving and caring God and he is showing you how strong you are. You are surrounded with love and faith.
ReplyDeleteOur thoughts and prayers are with you Maddy.

So glad to finally read this blog so we can keep track of your progress, Maddy. Maddy, Casey sends you her love and cannot wait to hang out with you and your sister. She also has been praying for you. Be strong and fight, and know that God loves you and is there with you every step of the way. Kara/Bob..... Need any help, please call me and we will be there to help with whatever you need. groceries, cleaning, laundry, etc..... Kara: I would offer to cut hair, but that would probably not be a super good idea. Do you have a steady ride for Mallory for school? She can always hang here in the evening and even have sleepovers if she wants. Casey would be thrilled to keep Mallory company. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Love
