Home :)

We were discharged this morning from the hospital and Maddie is doing great! She was running around the unit this morning, flashing her smiles and being cute as ever.

Last night was rough in the hospital, they had attached a heartrate monitor onto her toe and she did not like it at all! She woke up at 12:40 and chased the cord around her crib until the nurse came in after 3 and offered to take it off. They were monitoring her heartrate, because an elevated heartrate means an elevated fever. She did have to come in a few more times to take Maddie's temperature, but I didn't care as long as she was sleeping. Two nights in a row for me is dreadful!! (Brad was sleeping peacefully at home in our bed!) Maddie finally fell asleep around 3 and didn't wake up until 6 to which she fell back asleep on me for 30 mins or so.

The doctor gave us the same diagnosis and told us that there really isn't anything we can do. She did give me a prescription for Diazepam (SP?) just in case she has a seizure again lasting more than 3 minutes. (I was told by the doctor that her seizure only lasted 2 minutes, but felt like a lot longer to me!!) We are just going to have to be more aggressive when treating her fevers and hope that nothing like this happens again!

Maddie has been sleeping ever since we got home, going on 4 hours! Thanks for all of the people that have been keeping us in your thoughts and prayers. We really appreaciate the support!
