New Beginnings

Hi All!

Well, I decided to start a blog to document this journey we've been on for over a year now, actually 15 months to be exact! I thought it would be a good way to let friends and family know what we're up to and how our little Madi is doing (and let Mommy vent from time to time!) . We're in Houston now and doing pretty good, just anxious to close on our new house (next week!) and find out what is going on with Madi's little heart.

We left Wyoming about a month ago after finding out that Madi wasn't doing as well as we thought and had actually gotten worse since her last visit in July. Even though her last surgery in May had proven to be a success we found out in September that her little "engine that could" wasn't functioning all too well :(. This was sad news after all she endured in May but she didn't seem to care much, actually loved being in the hospital for a week and ordered everything she wanted off the room service menu! When we got home from the hospital we waited to hear from the doctors on what to do next and they said they thought her lungs were actually making her little heart sick and the lower elevation would help both get better over time! Whew.....what a relief! So, here we are! Closing on our house in three days!

Words cannot describe how blessed we feel to have relocated so quickly and easily, this is truly Gods work! Madi has already had one echo which showed no change, so the doctors gave her two more weeks to prove herself; time is up on Monday and we'll see if there have been any positive changes since then. If so, thats wonderful!!!!! If not, we will take the next steps necessary to get her better! Please continue to pray for her as God is always with her and has never left her side. He has been faithful and will continue to be, we only have to Trust in His will! He has brought us to one of the best pediatric heart centers in the world for a reason and for that we thank Him!!

In the mean time, she is full of spunk and sass and continues to learn more and more each day! I'll keep you updated on how Monday goes! Love you all and thanks for the prayers!
