Prayers Needed Please...

Please pray for our family. Emma went back in the hospital originally for IV fluids on June, 11th, while she was here, we opted to have a port-a-cath(a port under her skin) placed, which would allow her to not have to endure the traumatic experience of getting an IV with every admission to the hospital. This was supposed to be a relatively easy surgery, however Emma endured some complications that caused her to have to go back into the operating room a 2nd time to stop some unexplained bleeding. Once in recovery, Emma was brought to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit for closer observation. Emma was sedated to keep her comfortable and hopefully pain free. It was really hard on her little body, not to mention on her mommy and daddy.

As of today, June 13th, Emma has continued to progress slowly and is still on meds to keep her calm. She is still in the PICU and has opened her eyes a few times to watch Jo-Jo's Circus and Elmo. Please keep us all in your prayers while Emma continues to heal. Please pray specifically that the Doctors would find the root of her feeding intolerance and that it is treatable. Thank you in advance.
