Maddie's weekend has not been good by any means.

Since thursday she has probably slept a total of 6 hours. Last night was the worst night she's had thus far and several new developments have taken place. She now has a double ear infection, an x-ray has revealed that she may be developing pneumonia and several other cultures are still pending to determine a few other possibilities. Her heart rate was around 200-220 beats per minute throughout the evening, accompanied by a 102-103 fever as well. She had an IV line put back in so they could administer the neccessary antibiotics and her other meds are now being given via the IV again also. They put her back on the high flow canula and have a team of the necessary medical professionals on standby right now in case they need to reintibate her (breathing tube). They have also added valume and a muscle relaxer to the mix as she has become very aggitated as well as very tight. For some reason none of this is helping her sleep nor is it helping her breathe easier. We are stumped!

She is fighting so bravely for so long and no words could convey how proud we are of her and how much it breaks our hearts to see her in this condition. We pray to God that he just give her a break here, she deserves it. We are going to keep this short because it has been a very long and emotional evening. We just wanted to make sure everyone knew where she was at. Please continue to pray for our Maddie.

Ann,Rick and Maddie
