*** Stay Tuned as the fight continues.....
"Maddy, Maddy!" We are all cheering on our Kitty Girl and she is proving to be quite a fighter these days in SO many ways. Maddy is tenacious and determined to get better. In physical therapy, when they ask her to do 5 leg raises, she will do 8! If you try to help her write, she'll insist on doing it herself. And, when she's had enough of her vent, well, she'll try to pull the sucker out. Which she has had some success with. She is showing us that she still has a lot of fight left in her as she continue to progress each day. Her lungs are still a real area of concern and she will remain on the ventilator for a while longer to allow those lungs of hers to heal up. Her sats are also continuing to look positive and we are super happy about that. Remember, we are at about round 5 and the fight is just getting really exciting. We need to continue to keep her spirits up as we cheer her on!
I also need to clear-up a little mis-information from yesterday's blog. My apologies for this. Maddy is not able to read her blog yet, but her Mom & Dad are sharing the information with her. She is still pretty sedated during a large portion of her day and the medication really makes it hard to focus to read. I can tell you that she has watched her video and seemed to love it. Again, she is on some pretty strong meds, so the clarity of written words are tough for her at the moment. But we also understand that this is simply part of her recovery and it will take time.
Here's to our little fighter, Kitty Girl Johnson, who is working SO very hard to be well. Let's continue to come together and cheer her on along the way. Thank you Sacred Hearter's, Friends, and Family. She's come this far with your love and support and we are grateful. Thank you!
Good Morning Kitty Girl and family,
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is way to go Maddy! Keep punching and dancing around that ring. I know you'll win as you are a toughie. That announcer will soon be anouncing your victory.
*Read this only if you want to...our Social Studies book is on tapes. It's true, so when your ready I can send them in and you can find out what happened after the American Revolution. (only if you want to)
Have a great day. We all love you.
Love and prayers,
Ms. Johnson (DAWG teacher on break)

Hi Maddy Girl,
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say "Good Morning" and let you know that Whitney and I are thinking of you constantly. Can't wait till it's time for playdates again and hanging out with your folks in the kitchen. It' going to be wonderful having you home again and hearing your voice. We love you lots! Jen
Hi Maddy! Jaea and I wanted to make sure you're wearing your helmet or some other sort of head protection during this boxing match. We're very safety oriented here! Maddy, I'm so excited that you are pushing yourself in therapy. I would love to be your therapist :) Keep fighting beautiful Maddy!
ReplyDeleteLove, Dave, Kat, Jaea and Eli
Way to go Maddy! You kick that nasty evil-doer Whirlwind of Illness right into outer space where our Astronaut teams can blow him to bits. I watched the latest Discovery land yesterday on TV and I pretended you, Maddy, were at the controls. It was a perfect landing at the Kennedy Space Center. The sky was a bright blue and the ocean nearby the landing strip was just as blue. It was awesome and breathtaking. This particular spacecraft had just completed it's 35th trip into outer space. This time out the guys fixed up the Space Station so all is working again, as it should be. That is where you are dear girl, at the controls and in charge for perfection!
ReplyDeleteWe love you so much honey, please never quit fighting.
Bart and Nan
Hey Maddy! You are definitely a fighter, my girl. Just wanted to let you know you've lifted me up as well. I had a hard couple of days and when I saw the pix of you and Mallory together, it just made me happy and smile. So thank you for that! I keep praying for those lungs to heal completely and you just keep on plugging away. You're an insiration.

Good morning Maddy,
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful Monday morning! Do you want to know why? Two reasons: You are getting stronger and stronger by the minute and the next one is that there is no school today. Yippee! Can't you hear all your classmates cheering?
I love having my cup of coffee with you every morning. It starts my day out right. I hope yours goes well. Keep fighting.
Love, prayers, and caffeine,
Ms. Johnson
