Welcome to Madimoo
I posted an update on Madilyn's Carepage. I thought it would be easier to just link to my blog!
Make it a great day!

A Return to Blogging
Its time... I have missed my blogging. I have missed a lot of things that slipped through my hands and I want to welcome them back into my life. Things have changed dramatically for me over the past year. Our family is different. I am different. Its been hard to rebuild what once was but I am trying to move forward. I never thought my life would look as it does but I still have wonderful stories to tell and memories to make with my sweet children. So, bear with me as I make an attempt to return to this new normal...

Madilyn's Journey continues....
Its been over a year since I have even attempted to share my thoughts. It has been a year of ups and downs and twists and turns. But, despite it all... Madilyn is still smiling.
Outside the parking garage at Children's...silly girl!

This little lady brings so much joy and happiness to my world. I am grateful to be her Mother!

Dear Madilyn...
You are in surgery at this very moment. Dr. Reisner started working on your back about 30 mins ago. Daddy and I are trying to sit patiently as we wait to get an update on how things are going.
This morning you were sad when we left the house. Berkley was so glad she got to hug you before we left. I wish I could have stopped those tears for you. But, all I could do was tell you things will be ok. Those tears didn't last long once you were snuggled up in your fleece blanket and rested your head on your pillow. We had to wake you up when we arrived at Children's.
Once again, you were a champion this morning. We had some last minute changes to our plan. Dr. Reisner decided he wanted a "cath" in your MACE. Well.... since Dr. Kirsch told us not to worry about it we removed it last night. I had to put a different type of "cath" in for the nurses. It wasn't easy but I finally got it. So, all of that excitement delayed us an hour.
I hope that you are in a happy place in her mind. We talked about all the happiest things we could before they gave you the medicine that makes you loopy! Your bunny and Cinderella blanket that Aunt Carol and Susie made for you are with you. They will keep you safe my sweet Madilyn.
Now the hard part begins....waiting, waiting, waiting. We are so fortunate that Dr. Reisner was able to clear his schedule so he could take all the time he needs to remove the lipoma. He is going to be as aggressive as he can to get it out of there. He wants to keep you safe though so he will do as much as he can. He hopes you will feel your foot again! That would be the miracle we are hoping for.
I love you Madilyn! You are my sweet little princess. I pray that our Heavenly Father will send his angels to comfort you this day. All I can do now is wait until we are reunited sometime today. After all these years you would think I was better at waiting. I am not. I am trying so hard to be as brave and courageous as you are. I will see you soon....
All my love,
Mommy

Nine Days
Pure Happiness!The house is quiet this morning. I did not make it to work again last night. So, my sleep schedule has been completely thrown off. I tried to stay in bed most of the night but kept waking up. Finally at 6:40 am I finally got out of the bed....
My mind has been here and there. I have been checking road conditions to see if I could actually make it in to work this afternoon. It is not looking good. The Atlanta area is not equipped to handle the ice and snow we received beginning Sunday night and the temperature is not going to give them much help in melting it.
In 9 days....I look at the picture of my Madilyn playing in the snow and gasp at the thought of her having spinal surgery #4 in 9 days. She doesn't have her air cast on either...why? She is so tired of it and has been wearing it for almost three months. Yesterday....she put on some thrown together snow clothes with boots and went outside and played and played and played......
Last night she was exhausted.
Madilyn is supposed to be at Children's on Thursday for Pre-Op. The anxiety is kicking in. The second thoughts fill my mind. My need for cookies has taken over..... We will see if the weather works with us or not. Until then, we will play!
