Dorothy sent this email to the Merrits and I wanted the rest of you to hear.
"Little Emily has been doing great. She has gained weight and her scalp is almost completely healed. She smiles and laughs and talks all the time. She has been staying upstairs all the time so we could watch her. Also, Tasha adores her. Yesterday we finally sent her down to the nannies.
Today she really scared us. Just before lunch the nanny brought her up and said there's something wrong with her head. Her fontanel was bulging. No fever, no irritability, no stiffness, kidneys and bowels normal, still eating normally, still talking and laughing, but a big lump on top of her head.
We took her to Sacred Heart hospital. It was a holiday today so there was only a skeleton staff bubut we liked the family physician who examined her. He ordered a CT scan. He didn't order new blood work since we had just had it done last week. The radiologist wasn't there so we don't have CT scan results yet. He sent her home with us. She slept in a laundry basket (we're out of beds) in my bedroom and just finally woke up about 30 minutes ago, very thirsty. She still seems normal but stilll has the bulge on her head."
