This morning we said good-bye to Emma. I never seriously thought we would have to do this, and I haven't completely wrapped my mind around it, but I do feel God's peace right now. I was able to experience her life in a way that I

A couple bites of wisdom from a 3-year-old genius: Elise was sent to ask Pop for something in the morning at Mema's house. Pop was still in bed, so he asked Elise, "Isn't there anybody else up?" Elise replied in perfectly good 3-year-old logic,

Hello all, I am now home with Emma from the hospital. As you saw from John's updates, Emma came down with the flu. I'm not exactly sure where she got it, but it could have even been in the Little Rock ICU last time we were

Just a couple of minutes ago Miriam got up to feed Emma, and found her paler than normal, breathing with difficulty, and very congested. She wasn't panicking, but we couldn't get anything out of her nose, and she wasn't doing any better, so they

I have been doing more "therapeutic" feeding sessions with Emma. All that means is giving her a bottle. Last week when I started after taking a few weeks without any bottle, Emma wasn't interested at all. She loved to play with it, mostly biting, but took

Emma had her evaluation done by a speech therapist today. She also did the evaluation for gross motor, I think. It will still be a few weeks before the paperwork will be done, but the therapist assures me that Emma qualifies, so hopefully soon we will get her routine help

We arrived back home about 10:30 yesterday evening. Emma was fine all day yesterday, so there was no reason to keep her in the hospital. It took them awhile to actually get her discharged because they had some communication issues, so Mom and I sort of sat around all
