pneumonia?

Hey everybody!!

Darwin and I were up to see Emilie tonight. She is in isolation again. She wasn't herself and appeared to be working hard on her ventilator, so they did a chest x-ray and a blood gas. They found out that she has peri-influenza? Something like that. Her chest x-ray showed a small collapse of her left lung right under her heart as well as a "touch" of pneumonia. They made some changes on her ventilator and gave her a little extra support so that she didn't have to work so hard. They also started an IV to give her antibiotics to treat her illness. Please pray for healing. Also if some of you are wondering, Emilie did have that RSV vaccine so her risk of catching RSV (which is very common in young children and infants, but can be harsh to children who are at higher risks of repiratory problems) is low. Thanks for your prayers. I have confidence that those who check for updates regularly will be praying for healing for this. All of you are in our prayers as well. Please, also send some pictures or even a short prayer to us so that Emilie can see who is praying for her and/or hearing the prayers that you are praying for her. She loves looking at pictures and being read to. I think that it would be wonderful to have a scrapbook of people who are praying for her as a souvenir for us and for her. It would help give us comfort and support. Thanks everybody!! Please remember Emilie in your prayers as well as little Connor.

Love,
