AAAAAAAANNNNNNNDDDDD Home

Emma finally made it home yesterday evening.  We pulled out of the hospital around 5:30.  Her favorite nurse, who happened to be there when she was born and has been there with her every time she works, was the nurse who got to discharge her, so that was a great thing.  I'm sure Lynette will miss lil Emma, but she's so happy for her that she's big and strong enough to come home.

Emma's big sister Eden was SO excited to see her.  She keeps saying "I want to see Emma!!"

Thanks again to everyone who provided support and prayers during this difficult time.  I will continue to keep you updated as often as I can through this blog.  God bless y'all!!

Saturday: Update

Well, it turns out that today was not the day for Emma to come home.  She just hasn't been consistent with her feeds and her weight gain recently, so they did not feel comfortable sending her home.  Their best guess at this point is a few more days.  She must be enjoying her time in Chapel Hill.  As her aunt Jennifer said, she just doesn't want to leave the southern part of heaven.  And really, who can blame her?  So that's where things stand right now.  She continues to do well, just not quite well enough for them to feel 100% comfortable releasing her.  Keep the prayers coming that she can come home soon!

Saturday

Well, the news finally came down this week.  Emma is coming home on Saturday!  Everyone who has prayed for her, there is absolutely no way possible that you could ever be re-paid.  Family, friends, strangers...Emma's had quite a large number of people praying for her and rooting for her.  All of it seems to have worked.  A great big Thank You goes out to each and every one of you.  I know the posting has been sparse recently on here, and it will probably continue to be after she comes home.  But I'll try to post something every now and then just so all of you can keep up with her progress and how she's doing.

Again, thank y'all so very much.  Emma thanks you as well.
