|  So Blessed............. Oh my gosh, this has been a CRAZY day!!! First I need to thank each and every one of you who have given of yourselves to pray for this little angel....  "God knows when a sparrow falls..." ~ (Matthew 10:9) - and He was certainly watching over baby Emma today, thanks to the crying out of so many beautiful YT hearts!!! I'm sorry that I was a bit abrupt in earlier posts.... I just REALLY was NOT prepared for my little girl to go into surgery so soon and with such urgency. But now that it's over, I couldn't be happier with the results! The surgeons did a beautiful job.... they did tell me prior to taking her in, that this one was not intended to "create perfection" - (I had to giggle when I thought to myself how God had already created perfection in this tiny sparrow... and we just needed them to "tweak" her "dress" a bit!!) Anyway.... this procedure was to serve as the first step in allowing Emma proper function. I REALLY hurt for her though.... once they got into surgery, they decided NOT to put her under anesthesia!!!! Can you imagine??? I mean, I can hardly keep a grip on her to FEED her..... how in the world did they operate on her MOUTH without putting her to sleep???  But.... they didn't..... they used a local and lots of pairs of hands.... I just couldn't believe it.....  The cleft palate has been repaired.... the cleft lip has been reshaped....  she should have no difficulty gaining suction at this point... allowing her to nurse without fear of aspiration.................. and..... SHE HAS A FACE!!!! Oh my gosh you guys.... SHE HAS A FACE!!!! <<smiles>> I SO cannot wait for her little eyes to open, so I can meet the beautiful girl who's inside there!!!  They did a wonderful job and I am so thankful..... Her little nose is still a bit crooked - and she has no nasal passage on the repaired side at this point.... the second surgery will be to create a new one for her.  I can't tell you how very blessed I feel to have had all of you here with me.... Emma is a lucky little girl to have so many hearts holding her!!!  Here are Emma's "before and after" pictures.... (in one of the "after" shots you can see one of the stitches in her mouth, making her look like she's got a little buck tooth!!! haha) - - and a couple others just after we returned home from the hospital. By the time we got home, she thought she was STARVING!!!  I could tell that even trying to nurse the bottle was hurting her.... BUT... she DID get a heck of a suction when she tried!!!!! THANK GOD!!!! (and those fabulous dogtors!!!) So I just went with the dropper and she took almost 2cc's - - more than double what she was taking last night.... so again.... YAY!!!  It's a good day................  And now.......... I have a little surprise for anyone who'd like "get a little closer" to this precious baby.......... so after you have a look at Emma's special "before and after" photos.... Click here.....

|  Have any of you ever used one of those little plush dogs with the heartbeat sounds? Or know where I can find one? I think Emma would really love one of those! She gets really restless sometimes... wait till you see her on the broadcast.... (when she's AWAKE!!) haha, she's all over that playpen! A little "mover and shaker" she is!  I think one of these little dogs might help soothe her.... whatta' ya' think?

| YT 2000 Club Member  | OMG, what an amazing job God & the surgeons did on Emma!! You can't even tell there was ever anything wrong with her. Praise God and thank you Jesus for bringing this sweet & very special baby girl Emma through all of this, thank you for holding her paw and never letting her go!! I'm truly stunned at how perfect she is. I stand in awe in the mercy of God. Dena, my thoughts and prayers continue to be with you and Emma, take gentle care of the both of you. I'm off to click that link, I can't wait any longer to see!! LOL!!
