Good news Update

I have so much to say and so little time. Madelyn will catch me on the computer and insist on pressing a few keys herself. She is busy pushing the car around the floor for the moment.

I just have the say that feeding is going much better than I could have every dreamed. After fighting with not eating and high cal/cc. Madelyn is now on regular formula and eating many different foods and textures. I try to feed something on a spoon at least three times a day and sometime it works and sometimes it doesn't. I have found that my attitude plays a big role. The more uptight I am about the situation the less she wants to eat. So I have learned to be relaxed about the whole process.

The other change that we made in our house this last month is that we are no longer doing night time feedings. It took a few steps but slowly, Madelyn has agreed to sleep though the night. Ah, what a wonderful feeling to sleep for more that four hours at a time.

Home for 1 Year!

Yesturday, together with our families, we celebrated Madelyn's homecoming. Yep, it's been a whole year that Madelyn has been at home. I remember that day like it was yesturday. The feelings still overwhelms me at this moment. I still cry at the thought that God has allowed Carl and I to take home our precious child. And I grieve for those families that are unable to take home their CDH baby.

As we celebrated, the family that I have mentioned in a previous entry. Nathan and Crystal Rahul, are preparing to bury their presious baby boy Mason. Please keep this family in your prayers.

Where is Madelyn?

Can you see Madelyn?

This is where I found Madelyn yesturday afternoon. After checking all the rooms with open doors and not seeing her, I went back to check behind furniture. There she was hiding on the shelf with her toys.
