Thanks to those of you who prayed for Abby tonight during her ER visit. Bless those precious friends who came to sit with us! Seeing your faces made us feel like we are really part of a special family.
Abby started acting strange this afternoon when we got her up from her nap...she had vomited in bed and we hadn't heard her. She was lethargic, jittery, floppy and slightly ashen looking. After getting her out of the tub we were having a hard time keeping her awake. We called our neurosurgeon's office and they instructed us to take her to the ER. The CT and x-rays showed her brain was fine! Praise the Lord. They did some blood tests which came back normal. She had two short seizures after the CT. The neurosurgeon on-call at Children's advised them to discharge Abby and have us f/u with them on Tuesday. If we are concerned about any more symptoms we are supposed to take her directly to Birmingham. Well, we are home and thankful her brain is ok. She is vomiting more and has a fever of 102.8... so we think she probably has a virus. She had a stronger seizure a few minutes ago and now she's asleep again.
We love you all and appreciate your support. We'll let you know if anything changes.
