Update

They gave her a plasma transfusion for the problem with blood not clotting well enough to help prevent internal bleeding. They noticed blood in urine right after they started it. They said it can take a while for it to get in her system and that it should help a lot including stopping the bleeding. She has been awake all day long talking a little. The nurse tried to take her temperature by mouth and Savannah took it out of her hand and held it in her mouth by herself. They plan on doing a muscle biopsy here to be frozen and sent to Columbia to test for mito. It is not always as accurate as going to Atlanta and doing a fresh biopsy. However, even if we could afford to go there she is not well enough to go right now. They restarted the tube feeds and are going up to 60 ml. We pray it will work this time. They started doing a 24 hour EEG to look for seizure activity now that she is not on medicine for that. Thank you again for the prayers and please continue.
