Emily Update

Hi Everyone,

Thank you for praying for my friends, Mike & Dawn, and their baby girl, Emily. Rather than try to summarize I'm just going to paste in Mike's e-mail. It was written last night so when he refers to "tomorrow" he's talking about today, Tuesday.

"Today was a good day! I got to wash Emily's hair and change her diaper! It was only wet, there was no poop and I was pretty excited about that. After she got her hair washed, she woke up. We have not really seen her with her eyes open, but tonight she was wide awake and looking around. After her bath, the nurse put her in a dress. We got a picture and it will be attached.

Today she had her MRI and EEG. Sometime tonight they are also going to give her a spinal tap. Tomorrow, hopefully, we will get to sit down with the doctor and discuss what happened and where we go from here. She seems to be doing better as time goes on, but there is still so much uncertainty.

I hope to have more answers tomorrow, so continue to pray that the doctors make the correct diagnosis and course of treatment. Know that we appreciate all your emails, prayers and support and God is on our side! She is doing better every day and we are just excited to be able to spend some quality time with her."

Thanks again for praying. Mike & Dawn appreciate all prayers and understand their value. Now for the picture. Isn't she adorable?!
