Madeline - Monday was a beautiful day, Maddie's service was perfect. Madeline was in the basinette that her 2 biggest sisters slept in as babies and had a vase of white daisies displayed next to her with a ribbon that said Sister. Alexis (who is 4) proudly sang to Maddie touched her and asked many people to come and see her baby sister. I am very amazed and proud of Alexis. Madeline will be creamated and then her ashes will be brought home in a pretty silver urn. When Don or I pass away she will be buried with us.
Samantha - Has been off breathing assistance for a few days now, and is still leading the pack. Very content at not having so many tubes. The only tube she has is a feeding tube that goes through her nose to her belly.
Bridgette - Was moved to CPAP earlier than expected. Her ventilator had a block in it and rather than put her on another ventilator they chose to move to CPAP. She was given steroids after she was placed on, and seems to be handling it well. Bridgette was moved into the room with Teddy and Samantha yesterday, apparently the birth of my Quads caused a baby boom and the NICU is full.
Teddy - Was in a good mood yesterday he had what they call a "Lab Holiday" he enjoyed not being poked. He was however started on steroids yesterday, they are hoping to give him 48 hours from the first dose before moving him to CPAP. Hopefully he will do well this time.
As For Me - Physically I have been getting stronger and feeling better everyday.
Emotionally I have ups and downs. I feel so humbled and blessed by all of the wonderful people that came in support of our family to remember Maddie. All the people that sent cards and well wishes. God is truly good and has wrapped his loving arms around us. He led us to our Church almost 9 years ago and we feel like our church is an extension of our home and even though we have not met the entire congregation we feel that our congregation is an extension of our family.
Thank-You, Dear Lord, for our wonderful church family.
