Pneumonia

Last night Emma was not feeling well. We watched her temperature steadily climb to 102.5 degrees and decided to take her into the ER at 3:30 this morning. After running some tests and taking some X-Rays, it was determined that she has a mild case of pneumonia. As a result, Emma has been readmitted to CHOC at Mission in the PICU. She is back in her old room under isolation until they can determine whether or not she has MRSA. It is just a precaution and should only last through today. The doctor thinks that she won’t have to stay too long, most likely 2 or 3 days. So, Emma only got 2 and ½ days at home before needing to go back to the hospital. Please pray that the stay here is short so we can get her back home.

Hey, guys!! How come I never knew about Emma's blog until you went home from Healthbridge?? I saw your poster on the wall last night. Can't believe Miss Emma is back in the hospital, we were all very sad to hear that. I hope it's a short stay this time and she's soon home again. I'll be praying for you all...talk to you soon!

love, Lisa Lynch (Emma's night nurse :) from HB)
