October 7 - ups and downs
Madison had been back to normal, but apparantly when you are on a steroid and get off of it, the body can relapse a bit. So, she had a very sudden onset of excess mucous again and we have been working very hard to keep her clear. I think she's about to get over the hump on that problem. She is also extremely constipated. It's something we have dealt with since her accident and the other night she just screamed out in pain and I really think it was from her bowels. 
We give her miralax and extra water and a special tea to help her go. never in my life did I think I'd be praying to clean up poop. ha ha The other thing we have noticed is that she seems to be a little tighter in her muscles again. Hopefully it's just because she's not real comfortable because she hasn't pooped and it will get better again
I am sick currently so it's been tough, but luckily we have had a nurse so that helps. until next time....B+ for Madison!
Hey Gina -
I keep coming by to check to see how Madison is doing. I pray for you and your husband to have as much strength and patience as possible. I know that it has been a tough road and things never go the way you want it.
You are very fortunate that you married such a great guy. Always remember that he is your rock to weather through the worst of the storms. But always remember to occasionally step back and take a deep breath.
Also remember that you have a lot of people that love and care about you guys.
If you ever need to even vent, feel free to drop me a line or call - 847-299-2917.
God Bless Guys

Hey Gina and Madison - I hope both of you are feeling much better soon. About the steroids, I have to take these for my rheumatoid arthritis also. Did they have you wean her off these steroids slowly. It is very important to do so. I feel certain the muscle thing probably is her discomfort. There is no worse feeling than constipation it seems.
Thanks for the update. We are always anxious to her about our Princess! Love ya, Kathleen
