Apr. 5, 2009 - Recovery: Day 3
Sorry, I am a little behind on my writing, again....Lots of little things have piled into to larger things that have kept me from writing. It reminds me of laundry. For now laundry is another of one of those little things.
Emma is progressing nicely. She is sitting up more and for longer periods of time. She is telling us that she's thirsty. She's asked for sausage a few times. She is beginning to have more awake time. She has played some with her dolls. Tonight I got out the days of the week magnets and she ID'ed today as Sunday. I thought that was marvelous.
She was able to open some of her mail today. Thank you Gramie for the goodies. Donna, we want to thank you, too! Emma loves the lamb (it's minky soft) and looks forward to eating the Hershey bar. Deb, Dewayne, & Jared, we are really enjoying the cards. I also want to thank everyone for leaving, notes, emails and messages. We may not answer all of them in a timely manner, but we reading them and listening to them. They are such a blessing!
The other girls are doing good, too. Macie was able to finally spend some time with Emma. That was good for both of them. As Emma's strength builds, she will be able to go downstairs and see all of her sisters together.
Emma is constantly being checked by her medical team, but Dr. Reddy will see her Tuesday. Hopefully we'll be able to measure how much longer her stay will be as well as what to expect next.
OH, OH, OH! I almost forgot to mention that we got a two-day pass to the Creation Museum. I took the girls today and Shawn will take the girls tomorrow. It was awesome! Lots of sweet and caring people there. The exhibits and the information there is great. They have a great bookstore, too, and they were having a -20% sale....
