(Emily June 10 at night time, she has her days and nights mixed up)
Emily had an EEG done on Wednesday. We got the results back Thursday, but its been to hard to write about it. The EEG results showed that Emily has suffered from moderate-to-severe Neonatal Encephalopathy. This is cause by the lack of oxygen-blood flow to her brain at birth. Emily had a ruff start breathing for a few hours after birth... which has lead to this problems.
She also still has her belly issues, Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). We have chosen not to have surgery on her belly. The outcome of the surgery isn't good. The surgeons and doctors both agree that Emily is at high risk for not surving the surgery. Josh and I don't want to put her though the surgery. She has over come a lot over the last 5 weeks. We now leave it into Gods hands that he will take care of her, make her whole and strong.

She came off her antibiotics Friday. Monday if all is okay she will be challenged to use her belly. Whether that mean she start feeds up again (very small amount 1 drop every 4-6 hours... 1ml.) or try a study to watch her intestines. Emily hasn't pooped since the last time I posted about her poopy diaper that I changed.
Emily, momma and dada love you very much. You are a strong girl.
You all continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteAre you doing the surgery or did you say no?

You are in my thoughts every second of the day.
