Better each day!!!

The last 2 days have been good! Each day, Emily seems more like her usual self, except for the tube down her throat. She can write on the white board faster than anyone I've ever seen! She has had visitors, and that makes her day happy! I think she is happy to see anyone besides mom and dad! Today she sat in a chair, and looked great! The Dr.s are saying they will look down her throat with a scope on Mon. or Tues. and evaluate where we stand on taking it out. So please pray we can get it out soon. She is losing weight without real food, and we want her to gain a little weight before her next chemo treatment in 1 1/2 weeks. Overall we are very positive with her continued improvements, and appreciate your prayers and encouraging words.
Several people have asked how to comment on the blog, and we have been told to click on comments, then go to the white box "Post a comment" and write your message, then click on the drop down "comment as " and pick "anonymous", then click on "post comment". This should allow you to leave a message, just remember to sign your name on the message so we will know who you are. Hope this helps. God bless you all for keeping us in your prayers!

  2. I'm so glad Emily was able to get up today. I am glad I was able to see her yesterday. Cute, little spunky girl. She's very blessed to have such a wonderful family to support her. I came to the hospital to encourage Emily, but left being the one uplifted. Enjoyed talking with both sets of grands, and visiting with you Anita. Emily was so entertaining, and you're right, she's the fastest whiteboarder ever. :)

  3. We loved seeing all of you and Emily looked amazing. The boys and I were so encouraged after we visited. Emily is so strong and you and your family are amazing. (Of course, I always knew that) Dev said the energy in that room was so positive..Go, Emily, Go!

  6. Go EM! If you continue to get better, as I think you will (they just don'tknow who they are dealing with, do they?) it won't be long before you are back on your feel and going back to those classes of yours. Keep the spirit! I am thinking about you every day. You are a winner!

  7. Dear Emily,
    I've been keeping up with everything through Vickie. You are amazing! I'm so proud of you! We have been praying continuously--you would feel the HS presence, be strengthened and encouraged,and feel all of the love being sent your way! I pray the doctors and nurses are Jesus' hands, feet and words to you! It would be a privilege to be your nurse! I know you are going to conquer this and have an amazing testimony to share with everyone!
    Grace & Peace to you and your family!
