Maddie has been doing great today. This morning she was able to have the drain tube into her stomach removed, giving her some more freedom (everyone say “Brave Heart”, which I can’t wait for her to get older to watch with us). Tangent, sorry. So she had a very special visitor today; Mommy! Mom brought her a gift from “Colorado Karen” that Maddie was having a ton of fun with (picture, above). Maddie also got a fruit basket from Gram Judy and looks forward to every day opening a gift that has been previously sent by her class room mom, Mrs. Law. So far she has opened some classic literature (The Wind and the Willows, which we started reading today, and Black Beauty), and some cool pencils. Maddie feels nauseous once in awhile without the stomach pump, however, seems to navigate through it to the treats. Daddy had a good chance to get some work done today and return phone calls, as well as treasure the visit from Diane. So still not allowed to eat or drink until the bowels start their engines, which could be by tomorrow. Optimistically she should be home as soon as Friday night, most likely though, over the weekend or on Monday. Maddie has done so much better with this surgery than the last major one 1 ½ years ago in New Brunswick. She has matured and seems to take everything in stride. Thanks to everyone for their support!
