Amazing Progress

Emily is making tremendous improvements. Since Tuesday morning and waking up with a wet diaper, we have not had to catheter her at all. Which is huge!

Her legs still hurt and has to take nerve pain medicine. The pain, if we're interpreting correctly, is like the shock you feel in your pinky when your funny bone gets hit, except this is probably much stronger and worse. It's a shooting pain, like an electrical shock throughout her legs. We believe that by the way she has been sporadically responding to the pain.

However, today, Maria Marcela mentions that she has not complained of pain at all.

She is taking steps with the assistance of someone holding her up. She is unable to stand on her own at this point.

Thank so much for the concern. And thank you to the families who have visited, called, written, brought us meals, contributed to Emily's medical fund and, most importantly, prayed.
