Daisy was released from the hospital on Monday with her new g/j tube taped back together.The old g/j was blocking the entance into the intestines from the stomach causing everything that went into the g tube to come back up and out causing Daisy to become under nurished and dehydrated.Daisy seems to be rebounding and getting better and more energetic everyday.Also on Monday before we left the hospital daisy got a suprise visit from the current Miss America she was nice enough to give us a autographed picture and took a couple of pictures with Daisy.After 3 straight weeks in the hospital getting adjusted back into the home life with a newborn to boot has been hectic but Daisy has handled it really well and is quite the little helper.Maggie and Don thank you so much for watching the boys through all of this.Daisy had fun dancing today with grandma Barbra and grandpa Neil when they stopped by for a visit.Thank you for all of the prayers and support!

Daisy is doing ok but her nutrtional level is at an all time low for her, its less then half of what it should be. We are still at CHOP and its snowing like crazy. Monday they did a barium test and found out that the G part of the tube which should be in the stomach was in the Duodenum which is part of the intestine. The doctors tried to ajust it. Today the did a dye test to confirm placement but what they found was that the G tube is too long and can shift and block her stomache from empting which makes her vomit and have pain. Tomorrow Daisy goes back to Interval Radioligy to try some different tubes to see if one will work. If not then we will adress that tomorrow. Daniel's jundice is better and Daisy is so cute with him. I was talking to the nurse and Daniel started to cry Daisy went over to him and told him it was ok mommy was talking and would be back to him soon. Daisy likes to rub his head and says its soft and fuzzy.Daisy also likes to help with his bath and feedings.
Wishing you all many blessings, The Sherman Family

Since last Monday alot has happened. Feb 2nd I had a C-Section and Daisy became a BIG SISTER!! she now has a baby brother named Daniel Ethan who was 9lb 3oz. Daisy visited me and her brother that night her first words were Hi Daniel then she offered him her blanket. It was so sweet! Then Feb 3rd Daisy ran a temp 102.7 and was having more pain and vomiting. Feb 4th was ok Daisy still had the same problems with vomiting running temps between 101 and 102 and tummy pains. I spoke with Derm and GI on Thursday and they said she needs to come in and figure out why she is having so many problems with the G-J Feeding tube. Pat brought Daisy, Shawn and William down to the hospital to see their new brother and me. it was too short because Daisy and I won't get to see Shawn and William again until next weekend. Feb 5th Friday Daisy and Pat picked me and Daniel up from the St Lukes hospital and we all Drove down to Childrens Hospital of Philly and that is where we are Daisy is have more vomiting issues not eating and her nutional levels have drop severly since last week. Thank you to Maggie and Don for all their help with the boys, to our boys for understanding and being good, to our nurses for seeing us through this rough time. Please pray!! For Daisy nutrional levels to go up, for her digestion problems to be resolved this visit. Pray for me to heal quickly had have more energy, For Dad to have energy to take care of all of us. For baby Daniels Jundice to start going down. And last Pray for all our other children to stay health and understand we will all be together soon and not to worry.
Blessings to all the Sherman Family.

Daisy came home tonight!! How ever she is not drinking or eating and still having some vomiting but they said her body should get use to the g-j tube and a new way to digest the feeds in about a week. I pray thats true. Daisy had more energy today and was in good spirts tonight. Tomorrow morning Daisy will be a big sister!!! I pray Daisy keeps feeling better and stays out of the hospital for a long time.
