Update on Madeline ~ Madeline's surgery went very well. The recovery? Not so much. She was unable to eat or drink very much and we ended up having to get her two IVs to rehydrate her twice last week. As of yesterday, she was acting like little Madeline again. It is a breath of fresh air after recovery.
Even though she wasn't 100%, we continued to celebrate her birthday. My friends were awesome telling me different things she was seen eating which made me very happy to hear. Madeline had a wonderful day and thank you to everyone who came, helped prepare, decorate, and celebrate.

| Why wasn't she eating or drinking? Oh because I realized two days after the surgery that the retractor butchered her tongue. I wouldn't want anything in my mouth either. Super unhappy Momma in the house! |

| Round 2 of IV fluid during the week of recovery. She was just about to fall asleep (nap time). I am proud that the nurses called her a warrior because she didn't cry nor flinch while getting the IV. |

| Two days later, partay! We had crafts that my mom helped facilitate. |

Last, but not least...Madeline attempted dance for the first time today. Here's a little glimpse on how it went (please ignore any sound, I was outside of the room taping):
