My Little Fighter
That smile she is giving me in the picture below is one of the things that keeps me going. I miss that smile so much right now. Emma continues to make baby steps in the right direction which is a good thing. She is trying to breathe over the oscillating ventilator which is weird because it breathes like 600 breaths a minute...but that is my little fighter....always working hard to survive. Her swelling is slowly coming down (we have a LONG ways to go, but we have urinated a liter off....5 more to go) yes, Emma had 6 liters of extra fluid on her). Her hands and feet are warming up and I can actually feel pulses...yay! We will get another heart echo today to look at function (please pray it is improved). Thank you all for the prayers and encouragement. I wish I had time to write you all individually and tell you how much it means to me.

ReplyDeleteMany prayers for your little fighter. She looks so much better!
ReplyDeleteI have been following Emma's story since her birth. (she was born 2 weeks after my daughter) Your faith in God has shown through in all these trials you have faced with your precious girl. I pray for Emma all the time and will continue to. Thank you for being the example you are through all of this.

So happy to see this latest update! I have been praying extra for ALL of you, especially Emma, since I read the urgent prayer request last week. Thank you so much for taking time to let us know how she is improving.
ReplyDeletePraise the Lord for the improvement! Love the picture! Emma is such a fighter! I know the love she has from her family as well as the prayers of Christian brothers and sisters is what keeps her fighting. Prayers continue!

I have been keeping up on you're post since Emma went in for her surgery. I just want to thank you for taking time to post something up to keep us posted on her health. I am so glad she is doing better. Baby steps are good. I am still praying for Emma she is such a fighter. And such a cutie pie. *hugs *
