Emma update: look who is taking a bottle again. Emma has been taking a bottle every 3 hours now and she is doing very well on it. Her medical team is very impressed with how far she's come and they told me a lot of babies with meningitis have trouble relearning to feed again, so they are very surprised she is even eating at all in her own. They are hoping to have her completely off of the feeding tube in the next week or so and we are thrilled. She has been seizure and fever free the last couple of days and the doctors are hoping to have her completely off of one of her seizure meds before she goes home. Emma still has a little over 2 weeks on her antibiotics, but they seem to be doing their job and killing off this nasty meningitis. Emma will require another MRI in the next week or two just to make sure then fluid on her brain is still going down. Please continue to pray for Emma and my family. We still have a long road ahead of us, but we know God is in control and we are just trying to take it one day at a time. Thank you for all of the love and support during this difficult time.❤️
What a pretty, happy, smiling face! and that's such great news to hear!!! I've been thinking of and praying for her. I'm so happy to hear she's been seizure and fever free. I hope everything continues to improve quickly and that the MRI comes back with spectacular results. My continued thoughts and prayers!
That must have been such an amazing feeling! It is exciting to hear how she continues to progress. She looks like such a strong girl! Will continue to keep your family in my prayers.
@erinh84 That's such great news! I'm sure you can't wait to all be home as a family again. Emma looks like she is doing awesome! So happy for your family
Praying that Emma gets to come home today. Her antibiotics for the meningitis are completely finished. Her Lumbar Puncture cultures came back negative for infection, which is good. Just waiting on her medical team to make their rounds and let me know.
I'm so happy to hear that Emma is able to be home with her family!! I'm sure the feelings of happiness are indescribable, as to be able to have your baby girl back in her own home. my continued thoughts and prayers that she can continue making positive progress and will one day have you forget any thoughts of worry about her future. Big excited hugs
I hope all is well at home and that Emma has continued making positive progress. I just wanted you to know I still think about your family and say prayers for your baby girl ❤ (formerly kswiger06... screen name change)
If anyone reads this, could they either share an update or ask Erin to come back with an update. I think of her and Emma still and would be happy to hear that all is going well.
Hi guys. Sorry I’ve been MIA. I’ve been having some health issues, but I am happy to report Emma is doing great. This is her at her MRI appointment this morning. She’s a little delayed developmentally, but not by much. Her medical team is very happy with her progress. As you can see, she’s still as happy as ever. Thanks for keeping Emma in your prayers.e
Just wanted to let all of you know what’s going down on the June fb page and how I’m being treated.
Cute mugshot by the way, but yeah I’m clearly the problem here.I would like for you to pass this along to the group. I know a lot of you have messaged me wanting a refund because the ringleader of this group is in high school and decided to paint me as a fraud somehow, which is hurtful and could not be further from the truth. it has come to my attention through consulting with my high profile family member lawyer that none of you even donated to Emma’s go fund me set up by my mom and sister(which was on my own personal fb page. I never posted it to the entire group or even expected you to donate or really even pay attention to it as we raised a very insignificant amount). so basically, you are essentially asking us to refund the amount of the gift cards you sent us that we never even asked for or expected. Aka a gift. We also have strong family ties to our local police, and after consulting with them after this whole smear campaign, they informed us that there are no legal grounds for asking for a refund on an effing gift. I didn’t realize that your thoughtful gift came with stipulations and conditions that warranted a return of funds if we didn’t live our lives the way you see fit. Apparently it rubbed a lot of you the wrong way that after going through a traumatic experience with Emma and then my husband that we would have the audacity to take a 2 day getaway and stay at a casino a whole hour away after Alex worked tons of overtime to pay for it and pay extra on Emma’s hospital payment as well(oh yeah I was so upset I forgot to mention my grandma got is the hotel stay as a gift). I was under so much stress that it was starting to really affect my kids and I needed that time away to regroup and be able to focus on being the best damn mom I can be. We are in the process of moving right now to provide a better environment for Emma’s therapy, so money is very tight, but if you would like me to send you the birthday presents max picked out with his toys r us gift card or all of the essentials I bought my kids with the rest of the gift cards(food/formula/diapers/clothing) I will give you my lawyers information and he will send the items, along with a cease and desist letter for every single one of you if you attempt to even mention my name, paint me as a fraud or slander me on the internet or elsewhere. Now that I’ve stopped bawling my eyes out over the crap show that happened today, I would like to address the go fund me situation. I am in no way a fraud or a freeloader. I have worked my ass off my entire life and have never asked anyone for a damn thing. It was very hard to swallow my pride and allow my mom and sister to set the fundraiser up because our hospital bills are steep. I literally told them no atleast twice because I have definitely judged people who ask for rent money or a dream vacation via fundraising sites. We left it up per the request of my mom and my family and I would usually reshare it with an update maybe once a month per the request of my mom. I am not trying to play on people’s sympathy or play the victim and I am definitely not using Emma as a pawn in some sick game. I am not that person. Every single cent, every fucking cent of the GFM has gone to Emma. I’m not sure how you all came to the conclusion that I’m a complete fraud and made up all this bs about my daughter who almost died from meningitis. It’s just hurtful and you guys are sick. I always tried to be supportive of everyone, even while Emma was in the hospital. I considered all of you friends. I’m very intuitive and fell of the radar after the casino issue, because I knew things were off after I got messages from you basically making me feel like crap because I had the audacity to take 2 days off from everything before I had a breakdown. Not that it’s any of your business, but you sure as hell thought it was. I know that I am a good person and a good mom regardless of what all of you think. I literally have never asked you for anything, except to keep Emma in your prayers. I hope all of you feel great about yourselves. I would advise you to not respond to this in a slanderous way, as my lawyer will be receiving a copy.

QFP
Honestly, if you are this great person, why do you keep changing your story and lying? Our group genuinely cared for you and Emma, and we were supportive. You left without a goodbye and never cared to be involved unless you were playing mean-girl.
Stop bringing up this drama and go back to your own life.
Girl, If you are as over this drama as you say you are then quit bringing it up every chance you get! Nobody has initiated contact with you today. You have started all the drama today. I'm about ready to send you a cease and desist because I'm so tired of your damn pity party.
Everyone cared about Emma. What people are pissed about is your constant complaining about medical bills when you don't seem to be the best at money management. We gave you sympathy when you needed it and now we've quickly realized you feed on the attention and we're over it.
I'm genuinely glad that Emma is doing so well and meeting milestones despite the challenges meningitis threw her way. I hope she continues to do well.
As someone who was deeply invested in helping you, I can't help but feel blindsided by all of this. Not only unfriending me but blocking me on FB, when all I have ever shown for you is genuine concern. Leaving the FB group when we were asking how you've been, how Emma's been... especially as others have stated, that we were there for you when you needed help. No, we were not looking to get our gift back, no, we were not alluding to you being a fraud, no, we were not harassing you. It seems as though once people started to see your story change, different stories emerge, questions came up. If you have nothing to hide, then you could've just cleared everything up. But instead you blew up your fb, messaged people, posted here.... All we were ever upset about was you ghosting the women who helped and supported you. This will most likely fall on deaf ears, but at least I can say what is on my mind and know with a clear conscience that we all cared for your sweet daughter and always will. I hope she continues to thrive and you get some help as well. This is honestly madness.
Exactly zero people have slandered you in a public manner, however, you are doing so to us on this forum. Did you forget that we have a lawyer in our group? Did you forget that we had other babies who have medical issues and they have had more since you left, but do you care? Did you ever care about us or our babies? I for one, totally forgot about you after getting over the initial shock of you leaving and could care less about the money situation. Most people in this group feel the same. If you thought we were your friends and then left without saying a damn word, then sorry, honey but you are no friend of mine and in another few weeks I'll forget about you again, hopefully for good. @erinh84

Also, you forgot to mention that you randomly peaced out on the group a while ago.
You need to keep a log of your lies because you aren’t making sense.
