She is out of the OR, but not without major complications. When the went to put in the breathing tube, she had a respiratory clamp down and dropped her oxygen in the 30s-40s for 3-4 min. They had to do cpr 3 times while she was in there. They successfully intubated her but not without major problems. They had to put a chest tube in to drain 1.5 liters of fluid from her lungs and abdomen. They put a central line in, and successfully placed the catheter for dialysis. They were skeptical about doing the heart cath and biopsy because she was so unstable, but they were able to do it at the end because she turned around. We will get the results of the biopsy sometime tomorrow. She is now in her room on dialysis sleeping with sedation peacefully.
I will update as soon as we know anything new tomorrow.
Thank you for your prayers and support…
All love to you, Emma, and family. Please know you have my prayers. Praying for results that will benefit Emma, after such a trial to get the biopsy!
In His Grip.
Hugs, blessings, and prayers for dear Emma, you, and the rest of your family. Will continue to lift her up to our Mighty God.
I will continue to pray for Emma and your whole family.
I am continuing to pray. May the love and peace of God surround you. May you be strengthened in His might. May He allow you to rest.

Dear Heather, I’m so sad to hear Emma is still ill! I will continue to pray for her. Her poor little body is fighting so hard, she’s a little sweetie. I’m sure it must be so hard to see her struggling. But I am praying for God to heal her. He is there with you now Heather and will give you the strength you need. Keep trusting and thank you for the update. I’ve been checking everyday to see how she’s doing. God bless you all!
