New plan!

Ok, we have a new plan. Due to Emily having to be on the ventilator and tube, they are going ahead and inserting the port tomorrow morning, Tues. at 9:30. They feel it is safer not to attempt this later. So please say a prayer for us. They are taking lots of precautions, and we think it is the right thing to do, but are nervous about it. Then they will give her first chemo treatment here in the hospital under controlled conditions. They are keeping her sedated to make the intubation more bareable. They won't take out the tube until all swelling is gone. They are preparing us for several more days in ICU, so thank you everyone for the prayers, snacks, and care packages that are being delivered! It helps knowing you are thinking about us! We are holding up pretty well all things considered. The staff in the ICU is amazing and taking good care of us, but it is very tiring. Me, Jim, grandparents, and Matt are taking turns sitting with her. She likes a hand to hold! Then Jim and I are taking turns at night. You sure don't get a lot of sleep in an ICU unit in a hospital. I will send more information tomorrow after the procedure.

    Jim & Anita,
    Emily is in our thoughts and prayers constantly but especially as she goes through the procedure tomorrow to put the port in. Lauren had sent me the link for the blog to keep up with what was going on with her. We will be praying hard for her, both of you, Matt, and your extended family around-the-clock. Please let us know if there is anything you need or anything we can do to help. God bless-Doris, Marc, Lauren, and Jessica Crews

    "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." John 14:27

    Reminding myself this morning that God's promises are true and believing in them for you!
