Madelyn is continuing to show her amazing strength and ability to beat the odds that appeared to be stacked against her a little over three weeks ago. Maddy is Strong! Maddy is Brave! Maddy is Awesome!
Yesterday Madelyn was able to stand and take a few steps in physical therapy!!! This is especially incredible since she didn't have her vent on for about 30 seconds during this. AMAZING JOB MADDY!!! They have removed her pic-line and her peep is now @ 7 w/ the O2 @ 35%. She is continuing to initiate her own breaths too! Her sats continue to fluctuate from the high 80's to the mid 90's. Her lungs still have a way to go in their healing, but overall we are SO very grateful and Proud of Madelyn's accomplishments. We all feel for poor Mad because we understand that her lungs hurt and it's really hard to be stuck in the hospital. We understand that she would give anything to be able to talk our ear off once again and we anxiously, but patiently await the day to hear her fabulous stories about bugs, butterflies, cats, and motorcycles. We cheer her on every step of the way!
As usual, we want to thank all of you who not only log on to share your love and well wishes with Maddy. And, for each of you who take a moment out of your day to say a silent prayer for our Kitty Girl! Thank you to everyone at Sacred Heart. Your love, which comes through in so many ways, is greatly appreciated. Thank YOU, FAMILY!
* Just a side note, Maddy has been feeling kinda crummy this morning with an upset tummy from the change in her feeding stuff. If you need to reach Kara & Bob, please make all calls to Bob's cell # 701.1790. Kara is needing some quiet time with Maddy to help calm her while she's feeling so bad and we want to respect that as much as possible. Thank you so much for your care & concern, we really appreciate it....and we appreciate you! Thank you.
Now, on to more important things.....It's time to bring yet another SMILE to our Maddy's face! Oh, and yes. Maddy ate a grape popsicle! Mmmmm....

"Ladies & Gentlemen, Do you hear that??!?!" ( Hot Pink Smoke and Glitter fill the Sacred Heart Dome )
Kitty Girl Johnson takes a moment to look up from the pummeling she's doing on Whirlwind of Illness as her face lights up like a Christmas tree.
As the smoke & glitter clears the Sacred Heart Dome, it is replaced by the ear piercing guitar solo!!!! "Look!!! Over there!!!! I cannot believe my eyes...and ears! Ladies & Gentlemen! It's the world famous, Vallory Van Vohnson with her legendary, magical guitar!
Now, what you may not know is that Vallory Van Vohnson is the younger sister of Kitty Girl Johnson! Her magical guitar sends supersonic, ear-piercing tunes into the ears of anyone who comes to terrorize her sister. Cocoa Puff was able to send a super telepathic message to Vallory while she was on tour. She hopped on her super-charged motorcycle and blasted her way to the Sacred Heart Dome to help her sister in the knock-out of her life!"
*Ding-Ding: "It's the bottom of Round 8 Ladies & Gentlemen and Whirlwind of Illness is trying to get on his feet after Kitty Girl Johnson crushed her writing board over his head. Yup. It did leave a mark. His head now reads, Kitty Girl was here! Ouch!
Cocoa Puff is simply beside himself with the arrival of Vallory Van Vohnson. Vallory Von Vohnson enters the ring, with her supersonic guitar in hand. She takes a stance and burns out some pretty powerful riffs on her electric guitar! Whirlwind of Illness is running around the ring like a crazy man! What!??! Are those tears in his eyes Ladies & Gentlemen???? Whirlwind of Illness is crying like a baby! WhhAAaaHHhhh! He's begging Vallory Van Vohnson to stop! Kitty Girl & Vallory explode into laughter. This is going to be way too easy!!!! Nothing can stop this dynamic duo in taking down The Whirlwind of Illness!
Oh NOOOooooo!!!!! ( the crowd jumps to their feet!!! ) Whirlwind of Illness has grabbed onto the supersonic guitar! Will he be stopped? Will Vallory Van Vohnson & Kitty Girl Johnson be able to fight off the Whirlwind of Illness??? I can't look Ladies & Gentlemen! I can't!!!!"
* Stay tuned for the continuing adventure of the Johnson Girls.
I look forward to reading this blog every day. It always brings tears to my eyes and makes me very proud of the cousin I do not know. Maddy you are in my thoughts everyday and I look forward to more great stories about the fight of the century!! You Johnson/Vohnson girls keep up the fight! You Rock!!
ReplyDeleteGood morning Maddy,
ReplyDeleteWhatever you do-don't look outside. Mother Nature played an April Fools joke on us. I had to look twice to really believe it. Enough already! Okay, we broke the snow record, we don't need to keep adding to it.
Where oh where has our sunshine and spring "warm" temperatures gone? I'm in the mood for flowers and with flowers comes cute insects and gorgeous butterflies. I wonder what this does to the butterfly cycle? I will be sad if we don't have as many butterflies.
Maddy I think spring is waiting for you. If that's the case, I can wait too. We will all keep praying for your speedy recovery.
Love, prayers, and caffeine.
Ms. Johnson (D.T.)
good marning maddy!

Hey Maddy,
ReplyDeleteUp and about I hear???? No running away from the hospital to a pet store just yet. I know it must be a pain to be in their so long, however, I hear your making good progress to coming home. I talked to your "Big Friend Rod" quite often the past couple of weeks. He thinks of you every day and is sending his prayers, best wishes, strength and smiles your way. He hopes you will be able to see home soon.
All our love,

Hey Maddy,
ReplyDeleteHow is the tummy feeling? A bit better I hope. Our Puppy(167 pound St. Bernard) had a tummy ache the other night and kept me up all hours to take him out to do his thing. I am so glad the he is feeling better. I finally finished my video game it only took me 15 hours and 53 minutes (It keeps track of how much time you played)So now I have to get back to stuff like laundry, dishes, bathing the kids, Boy... kids start to smell funny after a few days, No more video games for me.
I am so happy to hear that you got to get up and out of bed today YEAH!!!I bet it felt sooooo good. I know it probally made everyone around you happy too. Well I need to go finish with the "bathing of the stinky ones" so I hope you have a good evening with no more tummy troubles. Thinking of you every minute of every day, We Love ya,
the Gordon Family

Keep taking those steps and before you know it, you'll be running!!! I also heard about the Nintendo DS!!! What a great gift for a great girl. Allison wants one really bad a pink one to be exact. They look like a lot of fun.
