I'm not sure if they were able to do everything that will have to be done on the outside of her little face. She will be six months old on Monday and I cannot imagine her being that old and never having a bite of food in her little mouth! This is just a miracle! They let Dena stay in there for the entire procedure ... she said maybe that wasn't such a good idea. I would've fainted ... she certainly has more grit than I do!
At any rate, thank you all so much for your prayers, please keep them up. This little girl just has such a very special place in my heart. I am praying that they will have a peaceful, restful night! Again, thank you so very much for your prayers! |
Thank you so much for the wonderful update! I have been thinking about her since yesterday and even started a thread earlier in OT asking if anyone had heard from Dena and someone directed me here. That picture of sweet little Emma in her "hospital gear" just *MELTS* my heart like no other! That is just, so so so sweet....
I will be checking her Myspace page constantly for updates. I am just SO incredibly thankful that she made it through the surgery ok. God has really worked some miracles for that precious little girl. What a sweetheart she is.
Can't believe that Dena was able to stay in for the surgery - I think I would have fainted as well
There is no way I would have been able to do it - or at least I wouldn't have been able to actually watch - but I'm glad that she was able to hold up through it - she is such a strong woman and one with a huge heart at that....God Bless her. And sweet little Emma "The Miracle Girl" too
