More on our little Elisabeth

Hi, it's Susan again. I have updates on Lizzy. First of all it has been determined that the problem is NOT her shunt. That has been a big relief to us all. She still is a pretty sick little girl though.
One thing I forgot to mention in my earlier post was that Elisabeth had a fever last night. The doctors are theorizing that it's possible she could have had a Febrile Seizure. That is a seizure brought on by fevers.
I know something about them because my youngest son Shawn had them when he was very young.

They have also discovered that she has a urinary track infection, most likely that was the cause of the seizure. They have also determined that she has contacted some kind of viral infection as well.

The doctors will be keeping her in the hospital at least tonight. Depending on how she does tonight, will have a lot to do with when Donald and Lisa can take her home. Right now Donald is out with the girls. Their wonderful friend, Libbie, has offered to watch the girls for a while so that Donald will have more time to be up at the hospital with Lisa.

Thank you so much Libbie.

They love to be here at my house too, but at Libbie's house there are friends to play with. They get a bit bored after a while at my house.

So far we have all been able to make this, ONE big adventure, for the girls. They don't seem to be too concerned about their little sister. Which is good because Lorelai especially, has a hard time knowing her little sister is not doing well. Well that is all for now.

Except of course that you have maybe one more hour to enter my giveaway. Lisa has my blog on her sidebar. The Gothic looking one with the monk.

We will continue with updates as things change. Thanks for all your prayers and concern:)
