Emma Kissock – Emma’s Syndrome

Good news.  Emma was discharged from the hospital Thursday about 8:30 p.m.  She was a happy girl when she got home.  She rolled around on the living room floor and tried to get into everything.  Everyone was all smiles and happy to have Emma back home.  Thanks for all your support and prayers.

Love, Grandma Carol

Emma was admitted to the hospital yesterday.  She cryed when they tried to feed her, she cried when she was in her crib, she cried everywhere except in someone’s arms.  So Emma saw the pediatrician and then Robin took her to Children’s ER and they admitted her last night.  They have her on an IV to keep her hydrated.  When they checked her blood glucose last night, it was down to 35.  So they immediately gave her some sugar water.  They are maintaining her levels with some sugar in the IV fluid as well.  The tests showed that the C.Dif. is back too.  So hopefully we can get her back to her cheerful self before Uncle Russ’ wedding next weekend.  I will let you know when I know more.
Thanks for praying for Emma.
Love, Grandma Carol

John was able to take Emma home right after lunch today.  She does have c.dif. infection and is on antibiotics for it, but we are used to dealing with that at home.  She was back to her playful self and wasn’t having any other problems, so they said that she could go home. 

Happy 4th of July!  Love, Grandma Carol

On Thursday afternoon Robin took Emma to the clinic as she was sleeping a lot, drooling a lot and not being Emma.  She then spiked a temp.  The doctor at the clinic said to take Emma to Children’s Emergency room as Emma did have a very red throat and Children’s knew Emma better and they should be the ones to prescribe any medication that Emma needs.  So Robin took her and they said that they wanted to keep her at least overnight for observation and to run tests to see if they could tell what she was fighting.  They are checking for flu, c-dif, urinary tract, etc.  So, Robin is at the hospital with Emma.  Robin’s sister Maddy is here for part of the summer, so she will be with Michelle part of the time Friday.  Of course, I am off on Friday, so I will be someplace.  When we know more, I will post another update.

Love to all, Grandma Carol
