ICU Again!!

We went in Friday for the outpatient procedures to have the port installed and the bone marrow biopsy. We ended up in the ICU again!!! When Emily had her reaction in college hospital during the first biopsy, the Drs. assumed she had a reaction to the anesthesia. So this time, they made sure we had very different type, and took precautions to do the procedure in hospital with people standing by. What they did not realize is she did not react to the anesthesia, but to the deadening agent they use(lydocain), so when they used it again this time, she had a huge negative reaction and went into anaphalactic shock. They had to intubate her, and rushed her to ICU. If they had not taken precautions, things would have been much worse! We have been in ICU since. She is stable, but the swelling of her trachea has not gone down, so she still has in the tube, and they are keeping her sedated. The only problem is they can't seem to keep her sedated enough!! She gets agitated because the tube is SO uncomfortable, and she can't communicate. Things have been pretty stressful, and oh yeah, they were able to do the bone marrow biopsy before she crashed, but not the port. Please keep those prayers coming. We will keep you posted.
