Friday Morning Update

These updates have been coming to you from the 6th floor of the hospital, Emily's room is on the 7th. The computer on the 7th floor isn't working. I've finally figured out how to connect to wireless in Emily's room. Ahhhh...

Yesterday morning was really good however in the afternoon Emily again had some bleeding in her tummy. The pain from it is enormous and she begins to have breathing difficulties that look like really bad asthma. I'm glad that we know now what is happening.

I spoke with the gastro doc a little bit ago and the plan is still to keep her tummy from bleeding before starting her on any tube feedings. She was supposed to start Pedialyte today but I think that will be held for a day. We also need to be able to manage her pain before going home. So, looks like she'll be in for at least another couple of days.



Emily was thrilled with her visitors yesterday. She had a therapy dog come to visit,
as well as her teacher from school.

Her home-care nurse was able to come by and stay for a little bit, and then of course Dad and Grace visited in the evening. (Dad's black car driving up the road)

I slept so much better last night. Jeff brought dinner from KFC and we had a great picnic round Emily's bed.

Emily has been in a good mood and when she starts looking sad I show her the picture of the therapy dog and she smiles.



The sun is still out, and the view from her room is still beautiful. Makes being shut-in not quite so bad. I've taken a few pictures of the scenery and such and can now upload to the blog.

Evening and morning were the second day.

Thank you for your continued support.

More later....
