Can you hear me Praising Jesus?!?

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! to those of you praying! Our prayers have been heard and answered! Maddie has been draining fluid all day, enough so that they are taking out all of her lines and tubes with the exception on 1 iv line. They are leaving 1 in so they can draw labs and give meds. Maddie also took 1/2 of her bottle twice today!

I am so thankful God has heard our prayers! I can't wait to get me hands on my sweet baby! With that said, I don't know when I'll post again! :) If I can hold my baby, then that's what I'll be doing! I will post if we have any big changes or new prayer requests.

I can't thank you enough for following our journey and lifting my sweet Maddie up to our Heavenly Father.

Our plan for the night is to stay here in the ICU. She is still on her heart med which they are not going to take her off of this until in the morning. They will stop that med in the morning and monitor how she adjusts. She is also still on a little bit of oxygen because she still has fluid around and in her lungs. We are hoping that once we get her up that some of this will drain out. We will be in the icu until at least tomorrow afternoon, so I'm not sure when we will be headed to the step down floor. I've decided that I like being here in the icu because the staff is so wonderful and attentive!

Please keep praying that the excess fluid will be absorbed or drain! If not, they will put a tube in to drain it. And please pray that she will continue to eat, even if just small amounts!

I wrote a note to the lady next door and my nurse took it over. I just let her know that all of you are praying for her. She immediately came over and said thank you. Her name is Jessica and her baby's name is Josie. Please keep praying for her. Please pray that I will get an opportunity to talk to her.

Last, but not least, our sweet friend Tina Hill came to visit us today. It is such a blessing to be able to visit with friends and a blessing to Maddie to know she is loved! Thank you Tina for taking time out of your day to come see us! We love you!
