Update on Dad & Emma

Thank you to everyone for your prayers. I have had quite a few questions regarding how my dad is doing and how Emma is, so I thought I would just post it here and update everyone at once.


Dad came through surgery okay and they had him up and in a chair by that evening. Mom was able to bring him home yesterday afternoon, so that is where he is now. When I asked him how he was feeling, he told me that he had felt better but he had also felt worse. He will be home recovering for a couple of weeks and then he will be able to return to work, but he won't be able to travel for a few more weeks.

As for Miss Emma........well..........she has also been better. But she is better than she was a week ago. She is still sick, but we have stopped giving her the medication that her pediatrician gave us. She has been having these horrible fits the last few days and Steven thinks that it was from the medicine. She just becomes completely irrational and nothing (and I do mean nothing) you do will make her happy or calm her down. Yesterday she ended up on the floor screaming and thrashing around. It was exhausting for both of us. I pray that as the medicine (if that is what it was) works out of her system, she will once again be her usual sweet self!

I will leave you with a picture from last night. Due to the fact that she was not in the best of moods I was not able to get the best of pictures.

It was good seeing you all as well last night. Emma was darling. Glad to hear that your dad is doing well, and Emma is somewhat better too. I'll be praying that the med. goes away quickly.

Glad to hear the good news about your Dad and that Emma is doing a bit better. Meds. do some strange things to kiddos. I can always tell which one's at school are taking them this time of the year =). Emma sure does look cute as Snow White.
