Good morning Dena and Little Emma. I hope you both got some much needed rest. Still sending prayers and will go on a blankie and sheet search at lunch.
Have a good day and keep up the good work.

I hope you both feel better soon!

Good morning Punkin Butt and Dena, hoping last night was a better night and the both of you got some rest. I'm looking forward to a good update this AM and hoping the stitches stayed in and the tube feedings went well. Many, many prayers still going up for the both of you.

Deenie · 08-11-2008, 05:16 AM

HUGE hugs to both of you

Fergiesmomma · 08-11-2008, 05:26 AM

She's so thankful that there's people out there like you! You are an angel sent from heaven.

I'm checking on Baby Emma this morning also. Hope you both had a better night and that today brings progress.

Good morning Dena and Emma...how are you two angels doing this morning????

I hope the both of you got some rest last nite.

Emma, I missed you still morning...i've gotten used to seeing first thing and you were there this morning.

I hope all is well...I cant wait for an update

Winston's Mom · 08-11-2008, 05:32 AM

The snuggle was shipped from Colorado on Friday. I am hoping you get it tomorrow or Wed. Poor baby Emma, you hang in there Dena.

MyPeanutAbbyGra · 08-11-2008, 06:24 AM

I've got to get caught up on all the news about Emma, but I see that she's had surgery and I watched her for a bit on the live feed.
What an absolute angel.

I will be praying for her

Lots of love and prayers,
Tammy, Abby and Daisy

Deegan's mom · 08-11-2008, 06:28 AM

How do I go about watching the live feed? I keep seeing people have been watching her, & I've been wanting to check in on her too, but not sure how. Can someone fill me in please?

Good morning everyone!

I'm a little behind this morning as we have some guys in to do some painting today....

Last night was long... but uneventfull.... thank goodness - - - I've been tubing Emma faithfully, every two hours 'round the clock and the results are certainly showing in her weight this morning.................. 101 grams!!!! YAY!!!

It still terrifies me... and I probably take far longer to do it than most, because I spend the better part of 20 minutes praying and "gearing up" for it.... but.... it's serving it's purpose.

The stitches are loose... but the wound is not completely open and it looks as though the skin is beginning to bond together in some places... starting to look pretty scabby though and I wonder if I should be putting something on it. (I was so upset yesterday, I didn't think to ask).

I was able to get her mouth open so I could look at the inside... (when I think about it, it's kinda' sad that she instinctively KNOWS to "be still and open wide" when I place my fingers on both sides of her muzzle.... it's like she knows something bad is going to happen and if she just "does what I want", it won't hurt so much...)

Looking at the inside of her mouth, I'm really pretty angry, even more than yesterday, about the job that was done with the 3rd "repair"....

Now, I realize how difficult it must be to work inside this teensie tiny little space.... but I've seen, I don't know how many people do it now, so I know it's not impossible.... and I had hoped for better results. (did I mention earlier that her mouth is all but MANGLED???)

Inside her mouth - is a large chunck of her cheek.... I guess in pulling and stitching the nose and lip together - they had to pull so tight that part of her cheek bunched up and was pulled in with the stitching...... anyway.... it's right in the spot where her jaw closes... so in closing her mouth, she's essentially gumming on the piece of her cheek......

Below are this morning's photos....

During the night is our main "cuddle time".... that's when I'm constantly holding her - either snuggled on the couch, researching on the computer or piddling around here doing dishes or whatever..... so since she's getting pretty good rest during that time, I don't mind her being a wiggly little "weeble" during the day.... (and it gives you all a chance to get a good look at her!)

I know she's not confined to a TINY space and I know she gets around all over the place.... but again, I want her to have quite a bit of movement... I need her to stay strong and work all of her muscles... keep the bowels moving... keep the lungs clear... keep that tiny heart pumping!

Awwwwwwwww... I just checked on her live cam..... now 'fess up!! Who is "EmmaFan" visiting in there???? How very sweet......

My thoughts, prayers and gratitude are constantly with all of you who have shown baby Emma so much love and compassion...... it makes my heart smile every time I see the beautiful souls of YT come together for the benefit of another, with such selfless devotion!

Sookie · 08-11-2008, 06:46 AM

I feel so bad for her, for all she's been through - and yet so "hopeful" that all will end up fine. You're doing such a great job, Dena. Count me in as an "EmmaFan"!

Mom2BabyNatalie · 08-11-2008, 06:47 AM

Oops... forgot the photos.... <<yawwwwwn>>

nikkinack · 08-11-2008, 06:55 AM
