Emery--Tuesday quick update

Hi everyone,

Emery and her parents had a pretty good night and got some decent rest. Emery's temp was up a little bit but she slept well for the most part. Her MRI was scheduled for 7 AM but the nurse came in to say it had been moved to 10 AM so Emery could go ahead and nurse at 5. She can't eat within several hours of the procedure. They gave her some blood this morning to help build her up. Her temp was normal before the MRI. A whole slew of doctors and other medical folks came in late this morning and had a big discussion about everything that's going on. Some were residents and others in training so they had to go over everything with Dr. Thompson (her primary oncology doctor). Dr. Thompson and David are constantly teasing each other and trying to outdo each other with quick comebacks, so that keeps everyone laughing and in good spirits.

The docs are still a little concerned about Emery's weight and want her to gain some more. Unfortunately, it took forever for her to finally go down for her MRI--it was almost NOON and she hasn't eaten since 5 or 5:30 AM. We were a little frustrated by that since they want her to EAT and then they won't LET her EAT! Crazy! Poor baby will be starving by the time she is finished. Anyway, she's in having her MRI right now and we are sitting in the waiting room having sandwiches and grapes and feeling bad for our hungry little baby.

We probably won't have results for awhile but I will post something as soon as I can.
