Prayer Request

I received this e-mail from Dorothy concerning little Emily Marie this morning. Please join me in prayer for her.

Hi guys

Little Emily has been doing great. She has gained weight and her scalp is almost completely healed. She smiles and laughs and talks all the time. She has been staying upstairs all the time so we could watch her. Also, Tasha adores her. Yesterday we finally sent her down to the nannies.

Today she really scared us. Just before lunch the nanny brought her up and said there's something wrong with her head. Her fontanel was bulging. No fever, no irritability, no stiffness, kidneys and bowels normal, still eating normally, still talking and laughing, but a big lump on top of her head.

We took her to Sacred Heart hospital. It was a holiday today so there was only a skeleton staff bubut we liked the family physician who examined her. He ordered a CT scan. He didn't order new blood work since we had just had it done last week. The radiologist wasn't there so we don't have CT scan results yet. He sent her home with us. She slept in a laundry basket (we're out of beds) in my bedroom and just finally woke up about 30 minutes ago, very thirsty. She still seems normal but stilll has the bulge on her head.

We're to return to the hospital at 1 pm tomorrow. I'll let you know what happens. I'm really glad you left her in town with me since we were so easily able to get to the hospital.

Love you guys
Dorothy
