Well the chest is closed up and Emma is doing good. They say that the next 8-12 or so hours can be similar to after the Norwood just because this is almost like another surgery. It changes the pressures inside her chest cavity which makes a whole new environment for the heart. Everything went well though and now they are going to just watch her and see how she does.
Specific prayer requests:
1) Pray that her recovery process after this is smooth.
2) Pray that her sats and all her vitals continue to improve as they should.
3) Pray that her heart continues to function well.
4) Pray for the doctors, nurses, etc. that will be taking care of Emma.
5) Pray for her lungs, that the part that is collapsed will open up, and that they will continue to function well.
God is good, all the time! And all the time, God is good!

Thanks so much for the update! Your precious angel will be prayed for many times today!
ReplyDeleteWell, little Emma, tell Mommy the bows are getting bigger than your head now!! I just showed my Pre-K class your picture. They ask about you every day and they have to see your picture and all the pretty bows! Praying that you grow stronger each day and everything heals the way it should! We love you and can't wait till you are home! "Jesus loves the little ones like me, me , me. Jesus loves the little ones like me, me , me. Little ones like me, sat upon His knee. Jesus loves the little ones like me, me, me!" I bet you have heard Gramma sing this song!
ReplyDeleteLove you bunches,

Sweet little granddaughter,
ReplyDeleteIt is so hard not to be there, standing in the doorway to your room, just watching you! The fight in you is admirable for such a petite little princess!
That pretty pink flower with the little girl underneath makes me think we'll have to come up with a new line of baby dolls. Instead of "Cabbage Patch kids," the "Emma Flower Bud dolls" will be found underneath a giant flower, and every one of them will be a sweet little girl with a precious, gentle face like yours!
God bless you, sweet little one! Your Nana, Papa, and Auntie are watching your photos and updates, listening for the chant of a text message, and praying for such a special little lady!
You are one of Jesus's little lambs, and He loves you so! So do we. God bless and keep you, and help you continue to fight and become stronger!

ReplyDeleteLove you all Donna Jo
You have many prayers going up from Washington, OK. I have shared Emma's story with my friends and church and the Faith you have is beautiful to see. Thank you for keeping the updates coming. Dr. Forbess has rescheduled our son Jake's surgery for Tuesday, October 20 so hopefully we will meet you on the journey of recovery very soon.

Every morning I wake up and I can't wait to get on my pc to see how Emma is doing. Bless her little heart!!! We are still praying for her and all of the family. She is in God's hands.

Hey Stewart Family!
ReplyDeleteWant you to know that we pray for your little bundle of miracles multiple times every day! She is so wonderful, I cannot wait to meet her in person. Praying for you all to stay healthy and strong for her, and that God's amazing grace continues to surround her with a hedge of protection against anything that could go wrong. She is a testament to the wonderful healing power of an Almighty Father that loves His children.. As the song goes, "He's got the little bitty babies in his hands..... He's got the whole world in His hands!"
Take care and keep us posted!
Love you guys so much,
Wade Melissa Abigail and Jake Hisle
So glad she is doing so well, she is beautiful.
