Emily started on Sunday being much more quiet than normal. We had a small birthday party for Vinny (our oldest grandson). We took him to lunch then home. On our way to Target Emily started vomiting extreme amounts 4 times one right after the other. We came straight home and bathed her and she seemed better. Later in the evening she had several dirty diapers that appeared to contain blood. In the morning the same thing but worse as far as her diaper. We took her to Dr Boykin and she was admitted overnight for testing. All tests that were done came back normal. She was discharged on Tuesday and received her flu shot at that time. On Wednesday she ran a low grade temp and I assumed it was from the flu shot. She woke up Thursday morning with a temp over 100. No big deal, gave her some motrin and within 2 1/2 hours her temp was up to 103. The Dr's seem to think it is still flu shot symptoms. While the temp concerned me (she's a kid with a central line after all), the main concern was her constant complaint of headache. Tonight her temp is down and I am so hoping it stays that way.
Still nothing on the adoption. I guess we'll end up paying another 2 months of two house payments and utilities and hope all is settled before Christmas. That will be it for this time. Hope to have a court date with the next post.
This blog is to tell Emily's story (aka: Munchkin). It will take you through her journey since she came into our care on January 18th, 2010. I hope to capture the milestones she has made since that date, as well as each milestone she makes pre and post transplant . http://cota.donorpages.com/PatientOnlineDonation/COTAforEmilyGraceS

So much to happen...
yet nothing going on. We are still waiting on a date for Emily's adoption to be completed. We are making small attempts on moving things over to our new house in Texas. We can't completely move until the adoption is final. Spending money on two households is getting old really fast.
Emily's health has been doing very well. We hear once in a while that her belly hurts but nothing has been out of control and doesn't last long. Labs are still stable and weight is increasing as it should be. The Doctors are happy with where she's at medically.
We have been enjoying some of the cooler weather and taking Em to the park every once in a while. She has recently decided that she no longer needs naps, but that's not working out to well for her since she starts looking and acting drug out by mid week.
We have had to start buying clothing again since all of last years things are long gone. Em is in size 5 overall sometime into 6's for shirts or dresses. Into 8 1/2 to 9 shoes.
I will update again when we get a date for the adoption, we are so looking forward for that day.
