Checkup

Emma had a check up on Monday. She sounds good and weighs 15 lb. 15 oz. She is doing really well and is a very sweet girl! She will be having ear surgery next Thursday, February 25th. They will be getting rid of her Keratin Pearls and will also be placing tubes to get rid of the fluid. Unfortunately, we have to do things a little backwards. We need a CTscan to know the extent of the surgery but as long as she has fluid they can not get a good read as to how extensive the keratin pearls are. So the only way we can do it is the way we are doing it. Which only means, that we might have to have another surgery once we can get a CTscan if the Pearls go into her bone mast or beyond the middle ear. It's complicated but we have no other options. And the first surgery should not be a big deal so that is good.

Other than that, we are just winding down from everything being in the hospital. I hope I regain some energy soon. : )

Please keep my friend, Megan, in your prayers. She is getting a new heart as we speak. It is from an 18 year old so I'm sure there is heartache there too. We need Megan's new heart to work and for her body to accept it. They said they usually know within 24 hours. Thanks!!!
