Emma's Sunday Update

For the second straight year we spent Father's Day in the hospital. The day started out with fun pictures taken for Daddy (Sorry we're not able to post them from the hospital computer) and a wagon ride around the units. Emma seemed to be feeling better and even hung out at the nurses station while Mommy and Daddy went out to lunch. She is scheduled for an MRI tomorrow at 11AM to see if there is pressure in her brain causing her vomiting episodes, so we have been preparing for that. There were talks of going home in a few days, but then at 5PM tonight, Emma suddenly spiked a fever of 104. The Doctor and her nurses drew a bunch of blood, took a tracheal aspirate, and cathed her for a urine analysis to find the reason for the fever. Several tests were run but we do not have the results just yet. They started her on a broad spectrum antibiotic and her fever has dropped. Hopefully it is something minor and we will still be able to go home soon.
