Riding the Rollercoaster

As if there wasn't enough excitement today, Laurie started bleeding late this morning and I took her to emerg. Several hours and an ultrasound later she's scheduled for a D&C tonight.

Meanwhile, back at the NICU, Emma had a few spells today. They adjusted her ET tube and she started responding better to the ventilator. They've drawn more blood samples, and started a second blood transfusion this afternoon. A set of x-rays taken this morning appeared normal. Other than the so-far-unexplained high white blood cell count, she has stabilized and had a good afternoon.

Michaela is just about settled in with Anne, and I'm heading back to the hospitals.

Poor Laurie, how scary to have that on top of the worry for Emma. Will be praying for both tonight.
