Maddy is doing so good being off of the glucose drip. She has had readings above 40 each time that she fed today, which is very encouraging.
We are pretty sure that the Doctors' plan of action at this point is a little different than we originally posted on here. There is not a 48 hour clock that started when Maddy stopped having the glucose drip, and the doctors are trying to re-train her pancreas. They are doing this in an effort to give it a chance to regularly pump out insulin when the amount of food intake is consistent. This means that Maddy will be in the hospital indefinitely as the NICU staff continues to monitor her levels. We are happy to see our baby girl doing a little better, and want to thank everyone for their prayers.
