Update: September 29, afternoon

Tough morning with troubling news that her lactic acid levels are too high, it could be regarding her liver function; however, it started during her long seizure yesterday. Specialists have been called.

We meet with a geneticist to get a possible diagnosis and treatment plan as the neurologists, infectious disease doctors, and pediatric ICU docs haven't been able to figure out a cause. She took a family history and labs, although results probably won't be available until next week. Where is Gregory House when you need him?

Emerson just got back from a difficult trip to get another CT scan of her brain. The results of which are a wonderful relief, no brain bleeds or swelling!
