Thank you! I visited Emma this evening at Tufts and she looks terrific! She will remain there until tomorrow (unless there is a problem) because they want to feed her a normal food portion instead of just the teaspoon of food at a time they have been giving her and then check her poop. She has not vomited but her stool this morning was still loose/diarrhea although not bloody.
I think Emma really gave them a scare-----she certainly gave my husband and me a scare----it was as though someone had turned on a faucet---it took a while to stop the blood flowing out from her rear end. I spoke to her internist and he said she will be out back on the metronidazole for a while----maybe even long term---the dose may be lowered. It will be a day by day watch to see if she improves. Hopefully, there will be no other gastrointestinal issues or there will have to be more tests. Her blood counts and chemistries are in the normal or near normal range. The BAT test will not be given for another couple of months---I will find out for sure tomorrow. The internist said it was too early to have the BAT now.
Tufts will phone tomorrow and I hope my little Emma Angel will be all set to return home.
Baby grandnephew---Chase Aaron---- in ICU. The next few days are crucial. Thank you for your prayers. |
