I am on to my second bottle, only 20ml each time but I have to start somewhere. They want me to eat a little more than that, so another day of work for me. I look all nice and peaceful in some of these pictures, but what you can't see or HEAR is the remodeling going on next door. Jackhammers are going and I can't rest, but the doctors said they want me to work and eat all day. Oh Yea, they took my Foley Catheter out this morning also. Stopped most my IVs. My Blood Pressure is staying up and my Potassium levels and Oxygen levels are looking good. They keep saying that I am progressing very well. I am soooo glad to hear from everyone and will keep the information coming as I progress.

Lookin good little man, glad to hear you're taking milk and losing tubes and/or wires. They'll be fighting over who gets to hold you in no time.
Uncle Ken
You DO look peaceful. Sorry about the jackhammers but I bet you'll get used to the noise and that'll probably come in handy once you get home. From what I've heard, Kaden could give the jackhammer a run for it's money.
You keep fighting, little man!
Jen Rapp
Way to go, Madox!! You're looking great today. Tell Mom & Dad that they will need to share you when you're finally ready to be held. Big virtual hugs from us!
Valerie and David
You're looking great today sweetheart! Bet your Mom and Dad are too. Each "thing" that comes off probably just makes them that much "perkier"! When Kaden comes back he'll probably show them how to run that jackhammer properly! :) Keep on Keeping on!!
Luv ya, Mike & Karen
Oh little man, you are doing so well! Keep it up and I am calling Uncle Keith to check on you. I'll check in later on tonight.

Sounds like everything is going super!! Hope things are a bit more peaceful for all of you. Madox, you are tooooo cute! You look so alert in all of your "portraits"! Keep eating, peeing, so on and so on, so you can get home very soon. I'm sure your sister and brother are ready for their family to get home and back to normal - whatever normal is! :) Have a terrific - restful day.

You are doing so good!! I am so happy to see you drinking a bottle. It is also great to hear all the great things happening (i.e., foley coming out, IVs coming out, etc.) Keep it up, because I want to see smiles on your parents' faces when I see them this weekend. Remember, that all these people love you and we are sending that love and strength your way! Again, hugs and kisses!
Love, Aunt Lori
This guy is putting all of us to shame!! His daily accomplishments are fabulous, my big one for the day was grocery shopping!! He looks so alert and perky in the pics. Thanks so much for putting them out here for us to see, it really helps ease our minds! Jen, I told you he had amazing skin, his little face is just perfect after having all that stuff taped to him!! Keep up the hard work Madox, I'll check on you when I get home from work!!
I love you!
Aunt Jennifer
Great pictures!!! I'm so glad to hear that the wires are starting to find their way off you and out of your room. Knowing how load Brenna can be. Gavin will definitely tell you that if Kaden is anything like Brenna, you will definietly need to get used to the noise in order to get any sleep once you are home. Keep up the hard work. We can't wait to see you this weekend.
Looking good Madox!! I just cant believe the progress you have made. Tell your mom and dad thanks for the pics. You are so cute. Keep up on the milestones and you'll be on in no time.
Hugs and Kisses
Kim and Kyle
Hey Mighty Madox!!! You are looking great but poor Grandpa Patridge is wasting away to just a shadow of himself but Grandma Patridge will get him lined out. Mom and Dad are doing okay, a little tird but hanging in. It has been so good to see you today. We will have to go soon to get Uncle Keith home. WE LOVE YOU!!!
Aunt Connie & Uncle Mike
Sounds like you are doing better each day. Sorry about the jackhammers buddy! We are looking forward to seeing you! You are too cute in your pics so we know that you will be adorable in person. Tell Mom and Dad that we said hi and that we are thinking of each of you. Oh...and tell Mom that we will wait for you to get home before we go to Darcy's for lunch so you can join us! :-)

Madox... I just have one word for you "Amazing"
To all bloggers: I want to thank all of you for the prayers and comments. This little guy is making tremendous progress. His parents truly appreciate hearing from everybody.
Uncle Keith
Ps.... Kurt is busy at the moment, but he is ready to give you all the grat updates.
Kurt and Jen, miracles never stop happening! Madox looks as if nothing ever happened to him. He's so darn cute you'd think he has a little Thompson blood in him. Ha ha! What a trooper! Soon this will all be over and your family can be back to normal again. Thanks for keeping us all informed throughout this whole process. You guys are amazing! Madox, keep getting stronger and before too long, you'll get to go home and really keep mom and dad up at night for those 2am feedings!
Lots of love,
Thomps and the gang
Madox, you are unbelievable!!! We are so proud of your progress. You make this transposition business look like no biggie! Jen & Kurt he is absolutely beautiful--just like Cyd and Kaden. No stopping Ratliff #3 now! Hang in there y'all. You'll be home soon!
The Bergmans
You look so cute Madox!! Keep on downin' those bottles little man; You'll be as strong as your Uncle Keith before you know it!! We love you! Keep working hard!! You're doing fantastic!

Madox you are a beautiful little boy, I can't wait to meet you hopefully at a class reunion soon.
Kurt and Jen, there's not a minute that goes by that I don't think about you and your family. The constant prayers that are being sent your way are surely helping. Looking forward to your next update.
How absolutely wonderful! Praising God all the way! Work hard and rest well, little one. I am sure Mom & Dad are smiling ear-to-ear and resting much better.
Take care
All His Children
Your Auntie Lori asked her girlfriends from pharmacy school to say a few extra special prayers for you this week. You're looking great-such a handsome little man! Keep up the good work.

p.s. if you need an extra snack, they used to have a Dairy Queen in the cafeteria...got to make up for the jackhammer somehow.
