Day 2 And 3

These have been the hardest days so far for Madi.

We're trying to manage her pain.

We aren't being too successful.

They've been giving her GREAT pain meds through her IV, And they've worked awesome!!

but now she needs to take them orally, which is fine.

But they take longer to kick in. So there are times when it feels like she's not on any meds at all.

It's heartbreaking for me and Mike.

We can't do anything to make it better except hold her hand and pray.

We're hoping for better days ahead dang it!

There HAVE been some positive things that have happened on these days!

Here's the proof:

She had one of these things in her neck.

It went into her jugular vein and all the way down by her heart.

scary.

But on day 2...She got that annoying thing out!
yippee!!


See how long it is?!!!
Yuck!


AND.........

She's up, baby!!!

With the help of her Physical therapist, Amy, she took a little, and I mean a little walk!

She is sooo brave!! This was so painful for her.

But she did it!

Every step she takes is one closer to getting home!!

Way to go, mads!

Hoping for a better day tomorrow!

Wish her luck!!
