I was hoping that I was finished posting to this blog, but it looks like I am going to have to "sharpen my pencil" and get prepared for more updating. So as of 3am, we were transferred to the main hospital uptown for testing to be performed on Maddy. So far she has been tested for a digestive problem, but they seemed to have ruled it out as of right now. The surgeon that we talked to seemed to think that there may be an underlying issue with Maddy's pancreas, which is a rare but possible diagnosis that was briefly discussed and dismissed during her stay in the nicu a few weeks ago. As of right now, we are probably staying here in the hospital for the next couple of days, and will be discussing Maddy's case with a pediatric endocrinologist and other surgeons here on the pediatric floor. We are hoping that they will be able to determine the underlying cause of the problem. Before last night, Madalyn had been doing great with us at home, and it is very
disheartening to see this problem present itself again. Yet again, we would like to ask for your prayers, especially that the doctors will be able to diagnose the problem.
