Eden update

Well I am updating this morning from the playroom at Children's Hospital. This playroom is amazing! When we walked in, Eden squealed and wiggled to get down. She is feeling so good, you would never know something is wrong with her!

I know most of you have had updates, but I will try to give a rundown of the last 24 hours.

Yesterday was the MRI on her hip. They saw infection in the muscle that runs along her hip, which is a condition called Myositis and also an infection in the upper part of her leg bone, which is the Osteomyelitis that they suspected when we got here Thursday. Since there was no abscess, there was no reason for surgery. They said the infection was most likely caused by a Staph infection, or possibly MRSA. They said it really didn't matter thought because the treatment would be the same either way. They started her on IV antibiotics last night.

This morning they came in for a blood draw and then we were visited by one of the Pediatric Orthopedists later. She said her inflammation markers had gone up, which was not a good thing, and then tenderness in her leg seems to be a little worse. These aren't good! She said there was a possibility they would do surgery today, but later came back and said they are going to stay with the conservative route and keep her on the meds until Monday. They will take another blood draw Monday and then if things are the same or even a little worse, they will have to take her in for surgery.

So please, if you are the praying type, pray for no darn surgery! If you aren't, cross everything you have. I don't want her to have to endure surgery! (although I know it would be fine if she did)

So until Monday we are at a stand still and there probably won't be anymore news. I will keep you posted if I hear anything. Thanks for all the thoughts, prayers and well wishes! XOXO
