The Neurologist just stopped in with the results of the EMG. The test ruled out some very bad things, which is good. It did not rule out some sorts of muscle disorders, but they are not going to proceed with more muscles tests unless they determine that Abigail does not have Infant Botulism. Their results were in line with someone who has Infant Botulism.
They are 90% certain that she does have Infant Botulism (remember that IB is good because it is reversable) but the only way that they can really know is to get the results from the lab. Basically, the lab infects a rat with things from Abigail's stool and they wait to see if the rat dies or not. Very simple process, but it could take up to two weeks for the results.
We'll probably be here at the hospital all next week for sure.

Hi Mary, this is Vera, I heard about your little Abi from Brooks blog. I'm about to have our 2nd son on the 26th. As we adjust to our 2nd addition, we'll be thinking about you and praying for your beautiful family.
