Long overdue update

I hate it has taken me this long to post an update on Madison. Things have been very busy around the Rhea household. Not only am I dealing with the everyday task of raising a baby, I also have the little extras to keep her healthy. I also have been dealing with Social Services, my insurance company, and many other people. It is all worth it though, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Madison has had a couple of doctor's appointments since my last blog. She has had two with Dr. Gaston and the CF Care team. She has also had two with her pediatrician. She has had all her shots (except the RSV Synagis) and is now up to 10lbs. She is growing so much, thank God. We have gotten a lot of good news at all her checkups, and pray it continues.

I would like to share some pictures of Madison on her last trip to UVA. She does so great on the ride up and back.



This was the face she flashed at me when I got her out of the carseat and layed her on the bed in the hotel. I think she was happy to be out of the car.

Even though she was grumpy she still managed to give me a smile. This little girl is very strong already (and with a strong personality).




Sorry it's sideways, but I had to show how she layed for about 30 minutes before she decided enough of this, I want to eat.

Love her heart, she was so hungry she wouldn't let me take the bottle out of her mouth so I could burp her.

She is so happy after a full belly and a good burp.

After she got tired of laying on the bed, I took her feet out of her outfit (the child loves to be naked) and let her do her favorite thing, SWING. Thanks to my cousin Angie, Madison can now swing in the hotel room.

We would like to thank everyone for all the calls, emails, and prayers concerning Madison. Monty and I could not have made it this far without all the support. We love you all.
