A Good Day :)

Hi Guys,

So today was a great day! We got moved out of the cardiac ICU and back downstairs to the "step down unit". This place is like a 5 star hotel compared to the ICU; peace and quiet for Madi, a bed for mama, a bathroom for showering and room for more than two people! What else could you ask for! Don't get me wrong the ICU is a great place for Madi when needed but we're happy to be outa there for now!

We don't really know what "the plan" is for her just yet, we should know more Monday. The dr's haven't scheduled a pacemaker surgery because her heart has been acting a lot better and not had major rhythm problems so we'll see! She might, she might not. The new meds she is on seem to be helping her heart feel better so that's great!

Other than that Madi is doin just fine, she too is happy to be out of ICU and perked up once we were downstairs. She did get her darn feeding tube put back in yesterday which is sort of bittersweet; it will help her gain weight which is wonderful but hopefully she won't forget how to eat like she did last time. All I have to remind myself of is that it's not a life threatening issue, we have other things to worry about besides a little feeding tube!!

So, right now we're just in a holding pattern till we find out more Monday. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving, we actually had a really great one in ICU, one we will cherish forever :) Our parents made a whole Thanksgiving dinner for us and carried it in so we could all be together, same as always just different surroundings so it ended up great! We even watched the dog show and Madi got to see "Kodiak" win the working group, hehehe :)

As always, thanks for your thoughts and prayers!

Love Tabi
