Ella Update

First, for those who do not know Ella was rushed to the ER this morning at 8:30 am. Kristi went in to get Ella ready for Camp and found Ella having seizures and she had thrown up in her bed. She picked Ella up and rushed her to Andrea's room, where Andrea took her and said she was extremely hot. They called 911 and had her rushed to the hospital.

They have sedated Ella and have also run a few test to include a CT scan. She has been admitted to the PICU and is no longer in the ER. At this time they know she has a SEVERE uti which may ave caused the seizures. She was running a fever and by the time they arrived the hospital she was down to 103.7. Her neurologist has put her on seizure medication and she remains sedated for now. Andrea and Joe are in with her waiting for the doctors to come in and give some answers. I am in the waiting room on the computer trying to answer questions but at this time we don't have many.

For those who have asked Will is at my house with Kristi and my two kiddos. We will update as we get the updates.
