Buying Stock in Laundry Detergent...

Maddox is working on destroying outfit #4 of the day.......

How is it that as soon as you put on 1 outfit, Maddox decides to have fun and either pee out the top of his diaper, or produce a yellow/brown substance that leaks out of the diaper and into everything he is wearing?? Mom and Dad are getting to be pros at the outfit changing business, working on outfit #6 in a 24 hour period.

Adjusting to Home..

After 1 day at home with Maddox, I think we are all adjusting to life outside of the hospital. Maddox has been sleeping and eating well and Mom and Dad are getting as many naps as possible. The other members of the family (Mya, Phoebe and Rolland) are little protectors of Maddox and do not seem to be bothered by him at all.

We want to thank everyone who provided support to us while we were in the hospital. It was a rough ride, but everyone's words of encouragement made it easier to get through. Thanks!! It meant a lot to all of us.

We're Finally Home!!!

Yeah!! After a week in the hospital Maddox has broken his fever and is doing very well. They released him from the hospital today and we are starting our new adventures at home.

Maddox and Mom Update

Just to let everyone know, Maddox and Jenn are still in the hospital. On Wednesday as we were preparing to go home, we discovered that Maddox had come down with a fever. The doctors are administering antibiotics just to make sure there are no infections and to get his temperature down. He is a big eater and sure is one strong little guy.....Hopefully we will be able to go home early on Saturday morning.

Jenn and I want to thank everyone for all of the words of encouragement and congratulations. It really means a lot to us and has gotten us through some tough moments.
