News from Little Rock

By Miriam ⋅ January 31, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

I hadn’t heard from Little Rock yet today so I called them about 4:00. The cardiology nurse called me back with the results of their discussion yesterday. She said that Dr. Morrow (Emma’s cardiologist) presented her case to the surgeons. The surgeons said that there is nothing they can do from a cardiac standpoint to [...]

Emma doing well.

By Miriam ⋅ January 29, 2006 ⋅ One comment

Emma is doing well tonight. I just thought I’d let everyone know. She slept all day and has been awake for the last few hours breathing fine, smiling, and active. She just fell asleep again so hopefully she will have a peaceful night. I will write again once I know what the word from Little [...]

Another emergency room visit.

By Miriam ⋅ January 29, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

As many of you have probably heard, Emma had a short trip to the emergency room this morning. She went into one of her spells this morning and so I took her in. By the time we got there she was actually calming down well on her own, so all they did was check her [...]

Home Again

By Miriam ⋅ January 27, 2006 ⋅ One comment

We are home again. Emma was having a rough time this morning, but after coughing some stuff up on her own she did fine the rest of the day. They said her lungs were sounding clear and she had some very active playful times. We will keep her on an increased schedule of breathing treatments [...]

Still in hospital

By John ⋅ January 25, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

Miriam and the doctor agreed it would be best to leave Emma in the hospital for at least another night. Miriam says Emma has been doing better this aftenoon – more playful and relaxed. So long as she’s doing at least as well tomorrow, and her lungs clear up a bit more, they may be [...]

Washington Regional

Well, we didn’t quite make it to Little Rock. Emma started having a little more breathing trouble just outside of Fayetteville around 7:00 am, so we turned around and headed to Washington Regional Medical Center. Miriam and Emma are now settled in a room there for observation overnight. If Emma’s condition worsens, she’ll be taken [...]

Returning to Little Rock

By Miriam ⋅ January 23, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

I really thought Emma was doing so much better, but it turns out that she is still struggling with something. She had a couple mini-spells last night and this morning. I was sort of in denial and didn’t make that big of a deal out of them. But then during her afternoon nap, she woke [...]

I thought everyone would enjoy seeing some more recent pictures of Emma. Enjoy! These are pictures of Emma practicing being on her tummy. She usally hates it, but with her new boppy pillow she was all right with it. Her boppy proves usefull for just hanging out as well. Here she is out of her [...]

Good News

By Miriam ⋅ January 21, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

I thought I should write so that I am not only writing when there is bad news to share. Emma is doing well. We had several days after we got home of pretty bad congestion and little energy, but she appears to be doing better since last night. She has been awake a lot as [...]

Follow-up appointment

By Miriam ⋅ January 18, 2006 ⋅ One comment

Emma had a follow-up appointment with Dr. Youmans today. She has been sleeping a lot lately, but when I woke her up to go to the doctor she stayed awake the whole time. She looked like she was feeling a lot better and even flashed us a few smiles. She has made good weight gain [...]
