Back in the hospital…

June 15, 2008

Emma is back at ACH.  She had a fever of 101 this morning and was complaining of a headache.  I called her ped, and she said to bring her back to ACH.  When we got here they did an ECHO, which was unchanged since the last one on her birthday (6/5) but her white blood count came back 20,000.  Her normal is between 4-8000.  So they admitted her for observation. 

So keep us in your prayer.  It isn’t as dire as it was last time, but she is still sick and that  breaks my heart. I think it is just the weaning off of the steroids (I was on them after my brain surgery and coming off of them is not fun!), they can affect your wbc. Plus we increased her dose of immunosupression medication so those two together are probably the culprit. 

Thanks for your support and prayers
