Daily Update - 22 March 2007

Madelinja is still scheduled for her abdominal surgery tomorrow. She'll also have her reservoir removed. Too many of the tests on her fluid came back for staph infection, so they want to remove it. She's doing well otherwise and wouldn't let go of my hand tonight for just about anything.

Masinja is still doing well. He's actually wearing clothes! They took him off the warming function and put some clothes and blankets on him to see if he could maintain his body heat on his own.

I got to catch up with T.M.M. and actually hold my son tonight. I can't even put into words how awesome it was. One of the nurses said that I "looked happier than a tornado in a trailer park." I was a lot happier than even that.

Well, it's probably going to be a long day for Madelinja tomorrow, but she'll be on track to actually getting to eat like her brother. I'm hoping that everything goes well and that she will be able to eat in the next week.

That's all from here for now.

Peace,
T.M.
