so far...
We are lucky to have gotten a room at the Ronald McDonald house, as the city is buzzing for the big football game this weekend and rooms are hard to find.
Madi has undergone "the usual" round of testing and appointments and, after a really exhausting morning of fighting with insurance (somehow, don't even ask how, there was no approval for her procedure when we met with her surgeon today)... we should be a-go for everything tomorrow.
Madi is second of three VEPTR procedures tomorrow and will be having a double expansion. Dr. Deeney says she looks very good and cleared her to (OMG) join the tennis team. (Watch out, Bosco, here she comes)!!
There are two boys in line with her tomorrow- 7 year old Brett from Michigan will go first and 14 year old Mitchell from near Rochester will be last. Mitchell is quite a talker, and makes Madi look quiet. REALLY!!!
It is cold and rainy here-- but no snow like up home, from what we hear! Tonight, I will take Madi to her fave lil Italian restaurant, Minetellos. We will split stuffed shells and chocolate cake... tradition... very important to Madi to control what she can on this "day before the day".
Right now, I am doing laundry and she is visiting with Brett "so he won't be scared"... always the Mama Bear!!
I will post briefly when Madi is in surgery -- and after she is settled in her room. Don't be alarmed at the amount of time between these posts, as it can be HOURS.
I have my coffee, my knitting, and Madi's prayer pillow all set for my end of the day:)
Thanks to friends and family for prayers and positive thoughts!! -Rhonda

We will be keeping you and Miss Madi in our thoughts and prayers. Miss Gracie came downstairs and asked if Madi had her new lamb & socks with her. The kids had another day off from school due to the weather..like they needed another day off! Gracie (little me as Madi calls her) misses you both already and is glad to be dancing with you again. We will be keeping positive thoughts tomorrow and prayers. We love you both and look forward to your quick return!
I will be thinking of you and praying for you tomorrow. Hurry up and get well so that I can get one of those BIG hugs from you that I so much love. Mom and Papa Paul keep the faith and she will pull through just fine. She is the strongest of all of us. I miss you and love you! Ryan

Sorry about insurance problems! UGH!! That is the LAST thing you need to be worried about when you are already worried about Madi! Hope it goes swiftly and that Madi is up and running around in no time. :-) Prayers from Broken Arrow!!
