ups and downs

(Sept 6)
Good morning! Our night was long - or short depending on how you look at it. :) Madi is starting to feel sore and bruised from the procedures yesterday so that adds a new angle to things. An ice pack on her hip seems to be helping, though. Bright side - Her kidneys are functioning well! :) She has been fighting a fever since yesterday afternoon. This is normal/expected and they are treating
her with an antibiotic for infection and giving her tylenol. The plan today is to have a port put in around 11:30 am by one of the hospital surgeons. After that is in, they will remove her arm IV (hopefully while she is still asleep). We should hear sometime today the results of the lumbar puncture and bone marrow. Those results will determine our course of action in treating Madi. Please pray specifically for the doctors treating her, her fever to go away and that some of her comfort can be eased if not removed. Thanks for all the prayers so far and all the support and love being poured on us. We are confident and faithful that the outcome of all of this will be good, it's just the bumps in the road that will make it more difficult as we go along. We have a powerful God on our side taking care of Madi!!
