We just got back from the hospital and Maddy's blood sugar levels have not improved. She seems to have blood sugar levels that are consistently in the 50's.... not quite good enough for them to decrease the glucose being pumped in to her. She is now receiving 10 ML's / hour, which means that they had to increase the glucose drip again.
We are encouraged that she is a fighter and seems to be a happy baby. She really enjoys eating (in case you can't see from the pictures) and seems to be really efficient when she is feeding. Actually, she usually takes down quite a bit of food in 5 minutes or less before falling asleep.
Ashlyn seems to be improving some, and we hope that Maddy can mirror same progress that her Mommy is making. She was able to take 2 steps today without the walker and is fighting hard to be able to take care of herself (although we have all told her to slow down and let us help her :).
We would not be able to get through this time without the outpouring of support and encouragement from our friends, family and coworkers. We appreciate all of your prayers, kind words and thoughtful actions. We are going to bed hoping to get caught up on some sleep (haha, right) and praying that tomorrow will be a better day for Madalyn and that her blood levels will improve.
