Hi this is Emma's Aunt Lisa. Lori has asked that I get on and post an update because she doesn't have access to the Internet right now.
They took Emma into the Emergency Room in Norman yesterday and they have since transferred her to the PICU at Baptist Medical Center in Oklahoma City. She has pneumonia again. This time in the lower lobe of her left lung. The put a urinary cath in her yesterday which she didn't much care for as well as a femeral artery line in her groin area. The line will make it easier to give her medicine because they won't have to stick her each time.
They also went ahead and did a EEG on her this morning. The official report is not in yet, but it looks like the little "jumps" Emma has are indeed seizures. They gave her a big dose of phenobarbital through her IV today.
Emma seems to be doing okay for now, she just needs some medicine and rest.
Please keep Emma in your prayers as well as Lori. Pray that God gives them both the strength they need to get through this. If anyone has any questions or comments you can email me at QueenieLisa@aol.com
