Well, it's been 19 months since our scare with Madilyn's health. That was absolutely the most frightening time in our lives. Our little trooper went through so much with blood draws every other day, blood transfusions and just DRAMA. We are so glad that she won't remember any of it.
On Tuesday, Maddie had an appointment with her pediatric hematologist and got a clean bill of health!! :) We are so thrilled!! She was finally diagnosed with an incompatibility with my blood. The issue is actually with Tom's blood and my blood, and she being half Tom and half me, and our blood mixing was the issue. In reality, it's Tom and I that aren't "compatible", go figure!! :) So there is a chance with any other children we have to have similar issues, but we know ahead of time now. It won't be so life threatening as it was with Madilyn. Thank God. Anyway, we are just so happy to have this news that I wanted to share. I didn't take pictures or anything, but thought this was a cute one of her at bath time. :)

Hooray! We are just thrilled that our little pumpkin neice is the picture of good health and happiness. Tom and Lauren, don't listen to that incompatibility bull because we can vouch that you two are totally so, who cares about blood? Semantics! We lvoe you three, Dan, Tracy and Gracie Rae
God has blessed you three in so many ways. What an amazing update - we always knew she had it in her to be a fighter! She is a Hosford ;) We love you three, Melissa
