Today has been better!!!!!

Last night after a very long and hard day both physically and emotionally Madison finally began to smile. Around 7pm she decided that she was feeling good enough to play a little. She played in the baby lounge with some of the other children and laughed and giggled for the first time this week.
We even discovered that she likes grape soda. Evidently she has had it before because when I walked in the room with a can she reached for it and tried to take a drink. We gave her a little bit in a sippy cup and she loved it.

Here are a few pictures from last night






This morning we started out the morning with a dose of Tylenol and a walk to the pharmacy. We were able to buy some decongestant for her as well as some children's Motrin (which we have been told to alternate between that and the Tylenol for her pain). With a dose of the decongestant and her pain reliever she seems to be feeling better. She is not feeling good but better. At least she is not screaming constantly. Wayne and I were able to eat breakfast this morning without a baby screaming. Madison even had some eggs and cheese.
We spent much of the afternoon by the pool just enjoying the nice weather. I was able to sit at the table with Madison, while Wayne ran back up to the room, and she didn't even cry. I have to admit that made my day. We played for a good while around the table before trying to go for a swim, but the water was too cold (so much for a heated pool).
She is currently taking a nap and hopefully this evening will be another good evening.

Please keep praying that she gets better and that our adoption will start to go smoother so that she can come home before too long.
