A Bundle of Myrrh

Just wanted to let you all know that our little Mercy was able to come home yesterday! She seems to be getting right back to her happy self. This afternoon she took in some fresh air from the back porch and the excitement of watching her big brother ride his tricycle.

Thank you all again for praying for our sweet baby and all the kind comments. We should get test results later this week, maybe it will show what this virus was. But really at this point it looks like it’s behind us thankfully whether we know what it was or not.

Mercy is doing much better today. No fever and smiling! We should have test results back tomorrow and probably will be able to go home. She might have a couple more blood tests but we may just not know what virus caused all this hub bub.

Probably wouldn’t have even gone to the doctor if it hadn’t been for the way she was acting about her neck. I appeared to be stiff and painful so of course my mind goes to “meningitis”. Since two of our doctors couldn’t rule that out and she did have some kind of infection, we proceeded with “the works”. Just praying for her to keep getting better now and to be able to get home soon!

Mercy is in the hospital for a few days with a viral infection. Our doctor wasn’t sure what it was so we’ve had several tests done, including a yucky spinal tap just to make sure this isn’t meningitis. Her fever is down and she was feeling much better this morning than yesterday it seemed, though right now she’s acting a little miserable again.

If this isn’t anything “serious” we should be able to go home Monday. Please pray for our little Mercy.
