I think it is fair to say that both Ash and I really dislike being back in the hospital. we don't really have any news to pass along right now, but so far, we are on a schedule of feeding her every three hours, and having her blood sugar checked before each feeding. Both we and the doctors have decided that it is best to stop breast feeding at this point so that we can give her a bottle and make sure that she is getting enough at each meal. We also think that the reason her blood sugar got as low as it did was because she was not getting enough to eat from Ash, since we started breast feeding exclusively this past weekend. It seems that little Maddy prefers bottles anyway, so we really don't feel too bad about this decision.

As far as a long term game plan goes, I don't think we have one. The Doctor working on her case seems to think that anything serious can pretty much be ruled out, but we are unsure what the next step is going to be and we are wondering if we are going to have to feed every three hours for the rest of her life. Please continue to pray that the doctors find a cure to her low blood sugars and that we can find some sort of normalcy for our family.
