December 4th @ 7pm
Emily is in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Brenner's Children's Hospital. After her surgery on Wednesday evening to remove infection from her brain, Emily has made many positive small steps. Emily is both talking and writing her desires and enjoying the cards that have begun to decorate her room. Emily's body is still in the process of fighting the infection that has made her so very ill. Due to the pain of the fight that her body is enduring, she is resting as much as possible. Emily's road of recovery is going to be long and difficult but we all know that she has an amazing spirit. Shannon, Rachel, Jessie, and Jeff have all amazed me with their strength when I have been able to visit.
