Kaylee posted this update on Sierra this afternoon:  Sierras temperature got up to 102 during the night. She is having blood, urine and stool cultures to figure out what kind of infection she has. They have started her on antibiotics and she is now quarantined until the infection is under control.
My nerves got the best of me and I have been throwing up all day. Dakota and I would appreciate prayers to help keep our strength and courage strong through this fight. We love our baby girl so much.
For now, if anyone comes to visit, Dakota or I can come outside for a minute but nobody is allowed in the room. Love you all and thank you for the continued prayers.

Update on Sierra Faulkner 11/1

Posted by her Mommy tonight:  "We have moved to the Oncology floor.  Dr. Klessy came by earlier to speak with us. The team of doctors have discussed it and decided for sure that where this tumor is, it is inoperable. Once we find out exactly what this terrible mass is, we are going to try to shrink this beast and kill it. She will have a medi port surgically implanted tomorrow so she won't be hooked up to so many wires. They can also give her the chemo through it. Poor honey has managed to pull out 2 IVs today. She played Barbies for a little while but she is only awake for about an hour a day. Pet Scan for her full body and CT on her chest will be Thursday to make sure it hasn't spread."

There has been an account set-up at First Federal in Sierra's name, if you'd like to donate.
