No news is bad news
We're still waiting on the MRI. I'm quite annoyed at this because my little girl is starting to refuse to eat anything that is not the consistency of Melba toast. Right now the MRI is scheduled for Aug. 16th, which is ridiculous, hello, no doctor would ever put an adult on a puree diet for 2 months, please. (1 month to MRI, then est. of 1 month to surgery). Plus I am scared to death everyday that Maddie will totally block her airway, a very scary thing. So, I'm not happy, my ped isn't happy, but we've yet to find out who in the world has the say in the timing of this MRI, and why in the world do they not feel that an underweight 2 year old (90% height and not even on the chart for weight) on a puree diet deserves some sort of expediting. Everyone in the Caudle household is on edge right now; Maddie is usually in such a good mood even if Mike and I are grumpy, but the poor thing is starving, and like her daddy, is incapable of positive thoughts on an empty tank. And I'm even underweight now (according to the CDC), so this stress isn't helping me either. Please everyone pray that we get this dang MRI soon. We gotta get this all taken care of to preserve our family's sanity. Merci beaucoup!

Have you cancelled your France trip? Also you could try getting protein soy powder and mixing it into cereal and applesauce. It'll give her good extra calories. It gets Joel through the morning (he's never been a breakfast guy). It's not fun having an underweight kid. We're still praying!

I haven't cancelled my trip. Even with the trip insurance (which I haven't bought), I can't cancel unless it's an emergent situation (so basically only the surgery would count). The only thing I can do is take the cash loss (a lot of money, btw). I really don't want to cancel though, I'm hoping that enough things will be worked out in time that I'll have "peace" going. I still believe that it was God that I got the ticket I did in the first place, so...we'll see. I know it will be extrodinarily hard for me to leave, but it wouldn't be much different in the absence of this mess anyway (I mean I'm leaving my baby for a week and I'm going to be a 10 hour plane ride away, that's just hard on any mom period). And I've been really looking forward to the trip... what would you do, just curious? Thanks for the soy powder tip, btw!
