We took Riley into the emergency room on Friday because she had a high fever, respiratory issues, and her heart was working too hard because of the high temp. She is doing much better but still in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. All of the test so far are coming back negative so the doctors aren't sure what is making her so sick, but at least we know it is not the flu. Most likely Riley has a viral infection but with out knowing for sure the best they can do is to just try to alleviate the symptoms and let the infection run its course. We hope to be able to bring her home tomorrow but she is still needing alot of oxygen and breathing support from her ventilator so we aren't sure if she will be ready to come home just yet. She was playful today for the first time in a few days so I think she is starting to feel a little better and hopefully the worst is behind us. We hope to have good news soon that she is coming home but until then please keep little Riles in your prayers. Thanks!
Much Love,
The Turner Fam
