heavy meds. for blood pressure and pain but doing well. We were so glad she had minable weight lose. Only two pounds. They did 2 different surgeries and they were 3 hours in surgery. Surgery was on Tuesday March 10 and we took her home on Sunday the 15th. I can't say enough good things about the Dell Children's Hospital in Austin Texas. They were fantastic.They are the top in the field of childhood medical needs. We stayed at the Ronald McDonald house there in Austin and they too were wonderful. Everyone we met there were friendly and helpful. Adelaide recieved two free quilts . One at the hospital from the Linus group and the other at the Ronald McDonald House. I am going to start making blankets for them as a small thanks. Deana, Adelaide and I want to thank you for all of your prayers. She is past the critical stage now but she has a long recovery time ahead of her but she is one amazing little angel. Even on morfin and versaid she still had smiles to give away. Right now it is hard for Deana because her husband Casey is TDY and some of Adelaides care is easier with 4 hands instead of 2. But she has good family support there in texas. Things are looking good. I see the OBGYN tomorrow to see if I need to go ahead with surgery. Thanks so much for everthing Paula or NMM.

It is so good to hear from you and to know that Adelaide is on the road to recovery. Children are so speedy at getting over things. They don't want to lay around and moan like grownups do. Sending continued prayers your way for you and your family. Please take care.

It's funny that about kids healing fast. We met a Great Grandma at the hospital and she asked about Adelaide and she always said I would be balling and squalling if that was me. Thanks for the prayers

I told Deana I wish I had a zipper so I could come home and stay with her both.

So happy to hear that she is improving. I know she loved the blankets. I am involved with Project Linus and have been for the past three years. It is such heart warming to be able to cheer up a child that is ill. I will continue to keep you, her and her family in my prayers.

So glad Adelaide is doing better! Isn't Ronald McDonald House wonderful? My first late husband Richard was instrumental in getting one started in Buffalo, NY, and I often stayed there when he was in hospital. Now is the time for you to take care of YOU, so you can enjoy Adelaide for many years to come. You'll continue to be in my prayers, Paula. Love, Marji

So glas that Adelaide is recovering and home again. I can understand your feeling, mothers always want to do all things at the same time and be there where they are needed. Take care for yourself and I hope there come better times that yyou can enjoy Adelaide.
