Prayer for Baby Emma...

  Prissy tried to tell me what to post tonight, but of course I do what I want so here is a quick update. She is doing well, adjusting to being home and getting back in the groove of things. We do know now why when it was 90 degrees outside and everyone else was pouring in sweat and burning up, she was complaining of being cold. Her blood is too thin, but doctors are correcting that.

     I love my Prissy to death, but tonight I am requesting, if not begging for prayer for baby Emma. Emma is in the hospital on a ventilator and doctors do not know why she stopped breathing. I could not imagine going through what her parents has been through as first time parents in the 2 short months that Emma have been here with us. Please pray for Emma's healing, that the doctors find out what is causing Emma to stop breathing and that they have a solution to the problem.
      Dear God, Our God, thou who created the Heavens and the Earth; I come you with my arms outstretched, asking for prayer for Emma Young. God, I know you are watching over Emma and I pray that you heal and touch her right now. God, you said that if we ask in your name; we shall receive. So God I am asking for healing for Emma; I am asking that you allow the doctors to find the cause of her breathing problems as well as a solution to them. God, give her parents and loved ones strength and let them know that you hear their prayers and you will take care, as well as heal their baby girl. In your son, Jesus' most Holy and precious name. AMEN

Not too much going on here lately....

    Scilla is doing very well. She is continuing to get stronger and working on achieving all her therapy goals. She will have her conference tomorrow and we will know if we are still on track for discharge on May 12. Also her doctor has suggested two day passes for the weekend! I will be sure to take lots of pictures! Please continue to pray for Baby Emma and her parents.

Praying for Scilla's complete healing and restoration and for Baby Emma's healing!

wordless Wednesday...

Not much going on today, so I will include 2 pictures and take this opportunity to ask for prayers for Baby Emma, who had her shunt put in on Tuesday. Please pray that the fluid drains as the doctors would like and that her wound from her back surgery continues to heal. Also pray for baby Elyjah who will be having cateract surgery on the 29th, he is only 5 months old, but was born was 4 months early.

Aunt Scilla and her favorite girl who makes Aunt Scilla's world go 'round and 'round!

Such a sweet baby girl...

   Scilla was so happy to go back to Roger C. Peace on today! She went back about 12:30 and was anxious to get in her wheelchair because she was tired of lying on her back for over a week! She is in great spirits and excited to return to therapy on Thursday.

       I have been wanting to mention this in my blog for a while and today is the excellent opportunity. Since about December I have been praying for Baby Emma. The daughter of one of my high school classmates. Emma was diagnosed with Spina Bifida while in utero. I had been praying for her healing since I learned about the diagnosis. Well, little Emma was born on March 16, the day after my sister had her accident and immediately had to go into surgery. Emma was born into an awesome family; she has so many people who cares for and continues to pray for her. I would love for everyone reading my blog to add Emma to your prayer list. Emma will be hitting the 4 week old mark this week and she has been through a lot, but she has an awesome mom and dad that are there with her ALL the time and I ask that you pray for their strength, because as first time parents they really have a lot to handle.
  
     Emma has so many people praying for her and her parents have such a strong faith and belief in God which is carrying them through this very rough time. At this point, I do not think they are sure of exactly what Emma will be able to do or not do because of her spina bifida; but I am still praying for Emma daily and asking God for healing. I find it ironic the closeness of Emma's birth to my sister's accident, seeing as they both have issues with their spines. I think that Emma is going to be ok and she will have the ability to do whatever her hearts desire and I know God is going to heal her, I feel it in my heart. In praying for Emma, I have said I felt like I knew her even before she was born, and her parents and I are  not close or anything of that nature, but God always keeps her on my mind. Every day as I go to the hospital and at night when I am praying, I think of Emma and I can't help but think that God has great things in store for that beautiful baby girl.

For those of you who would like to keep up with Emma, she is on my blog roll and she is a precious little angel, i tell you!
