A great day!
Emily and I are sitting in her new hospital room, no more ICU, and watching TV. She just finished a big breakfast of pancakes and is TALKING to me. No more white board. All major tubes and wires are missing from her body, she looks great! They are making sure everything is working as it should after 10 days of major sedation and no real food in ICU. She feels a little weak, but otherwise great! This is the time after chemo, about 6-7 days when she is at risk for infection, so they don't want to keep in the hospital any longer than necessary. We think we will be home soon. Our whole family wants to thank you all for your prayers, support and visits. We know we could not have done this without you! God bless!

YAHOO!
ReplyDeleteI know hearing Emily's voice was the best gift you've had in a long while and all those tubes and machines gone(for the most part) - Excellent!
"Praise the LORD. How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise Him!" Psalm 147:1
That is great news! We will continue to pray for her to gain strength daily and stay strong as she goes through the next rounds of chemo. We will pray for all of you as well.
