A Parkersburg woman who's children tested positive for drugs over the weekend was arraigned Tuesday morning.

30-year-old Michele Fleming was arraigned in Wood County Magistrate Court.

She is charged with 2 counts of felony child neglect as well as possession of a controlled substance.

According to the criminal complaint Fleming took her 5-year-old child to the hospital on Sunday when the child did not wake up from a nap.

At the hospital the 5 year old tested positive for cocaine and was transported to a Charleston hospital in critical condition.

West Virginia State Police said on Wednesday that the child's condition has steadily improved since Sunday. Officials say the 5-year-old is showing some responses and improving daily.

Fleming's 7-year-old child later tested positive for cocaine as well.
