Here I am finally posting.... : )
Thanks for hanging in there. We spoke at church two weekends ago for the first time about our journey. It was a hard week preparing for it. It brought up a lot of emotions and hard times. But it was so good to go back and think about everything we learned through it. If you want to hear it, here is the link. http://greatoakscc.org/
click on message player and the message is titled Hope:Destinations. It is about 43 minutes long. It was very hard to put into words what we learned and to take 8 years and minimize it into about 20 minutes. I hope that it touches even one person. We want good to come out of the pain that we went through.
I can't believe Loren just turned 3 and the twins will be 2 in May!!! I'm still amazed! Emma is doing really well. She has started to say a few words since they did surgery on her ears. She is walking well and seems to think she is way bigger than she is. Olivia likes to sit on Emma's back and Emma just laughs and laughs. Today I told the girls they needed to come...so Emma turns around and goes behind Olivia and starts pushing her to come. She really is a stitch. : )
The only update right now is that Emma had a CTscan on Friday. Mike took her. It was really nice that I did not have to do another round on my own. They had to sedate her so Mike was great with her. He came home and made mention of how draining the hospital is. Even for an appointment, it is draining. We haven't heard the results yet. Either there is infections in her bone mast and ear drums and we will need to do surgery or she is clear from any internal infections and we are good to go. We'll see. I'll probably call tomorrow to see if they have heard yet.
We are starting therapy in June for Emma. Occupational, speech and physical therapy. We will go to Easter Seals every week for this. Me and all my kids. Should be fun. : )
Enjoy the pictures I've posted. They are of Easter.
