Saturday and Sunday have both been very long days, Emma came down with a bacterial infection Saturday. This bacteria has caused Emma to retain fluid, she has gained approximately 3 pounds of fluid over the past few days. That does not sound like too much, but in a baby that is very significant. She is very uncomfortable right now so pray that God will touch her body and relieve the fluid and her discomfort, it is making her look like she is 8 months pregnant. We seem to have the actual infection under control, her fever has stayed down most of the day Sunday.

Saturday night and Sunday morning were extremely long a stressful. The doctors hooked Emma up to a heart monitor, oxygen monitor, and breathing monitor. One of the three beeped constantly all night and into the morning. The monitors were for precautionary reasons only. Both of us are extremely tired and can only guess how exhausted Emma is. We need lots of prayer right now for continued healing for Emma, specifically for her fluid retention which is causing her great discomfort. Pray also that we have a handle on the bacterial infection, and pray for Emma's white blood count to start to recover with good white blood cells. We thank everyone for all their prayers and support.
