Prayers! (UPDATED)

the latest is good news....all the tests came back negative and she just seems to have acid reflux. so when mom and dad feed her they need to keep her elevated for about 20 min after to make sure there it's any vomiting. good news.

my bro and sis-in-law had to take my niece to the hospital because she was running a really high fever last night.
i don't know how a spinal tap on an infant is routine but that is what they said that they did one on her at like 8ish last night.
after putting in a catheter and taking some of blood.
please be in prayer for this sweet little baby as well as her parents.
i can't imagine going through something like this with your week old baby.
i'll keep posted anymore that goes on with her as i find out but as of now i've heard no more than this.

not to much to update i guess.
they have taken her home from the hospital.
they are waiting on the results from the spinal tap.
they have a doctor's appointment with the pediatrician.
and her back is pretty sore from the spinal tap so she's resting.
well she's a baby, and a good baby, so she does a lot of resting.
when we find out more like the results, i will post them.

  1. any ideas what it might be? what have thrown out as possible outcomes? definitely scary...children are a gift, that's for sure. Our hearts become increasingly vulnerable as soon as we become parents. praying for the whole family.

  2. no ideas yet. m- said that they were going to release her this morning at 9 but that they decided to keep her and wait until they got the test results back first. i'll let you know what we know when we do. i hope it's nothing but then i think that poor baby had to go through all of that (not that i want it to be anything that sounded bad i just hate that she had to go through that)

  3. Usually when they do a Spinal Tap they are testing for infections such as Meningitis. It's similar to when a woman gets an epidural. Poor thing to have to go though that. I'll be praying!

  4. Emerson had acid reflux, but we didn't figure out what it was for a couple of months- it is a big praise for that family to know what it is so early on... it will save them a lot of headache!
