Tonights Update

Emma had a pretty good day today. They had to add another blood pressure medicine to keep her blood pressure up. Emma has been trying to breathe more than they want her to. They want to let the ventilator do all the work. They really can't give her any more medication to sedate her because of her blood pressure. Emma has one of the blankets under her that her big sister Cloey picked out. Emma had her ultrasound of her kidneys but we haven't heard any results yet. We are taking that as a good thing since they didn't expect anything but needed to do it before surgery. The surgeon says things are still set for Wednesday. He said this mornings x-ray looked good and some of the bowel has actually moved down. So, the balancing act between Emma's blood pressure, sedation and oxygen needs continue. We continue to wish Wednesday was here, the surgery was behind us, and that our little girl was on her way to an uneventful recovery. Keep the prayers and positive thoughts coming. Emma is currently receiving some blood. This will also help with her blood pressure. They also needed to replace some of the blood from all the lab work she has had. The blood is only one third in and she is already responding well to it.
