Emily was admitted to the hospital this afternoon and B is spending the night with her. Emily has had difficulty breathing the last few days (40-60 breaths a minute). Her oxygen levels in her blood have been sitting around 80% so she is currently hooked up to a nasal canula to feed oxygen to her. Doctors aren't quite sure what is wrong with her, other than she has a bad ear infection in her right ear and moderate ear infection in her left ear. Her respiratory infection has stayed in her throat and nose. It has NOT moved to her lungs, so for now the doctors have ruled Pneumonia out.
The anitbiotics that Emily was on were not working, so the ER doctors are changing it up.
We don't know how long Emily will stay at the hospital.
I am currently at home with K and will take her to aunt K's house tomorrow so I can go back in and be with B.
Please pray for quick healing and restoration to Emily. Pray especially that this ear infection doesn't cause any hearing damage.

Thanks for the update, Micah. We're praying.
We're praying also. Thanks for letting us know. I also put her on our church prayer chain as they have prayed for her in the past also. Praying for you and Becky too.
Thanks, Micah! We'll be praying also. That little precious gift of a girl is such a battler. It grieves us too that she has to go through so much!
