Rehabilitation for Emily

Since we're really looking forward to bringing Emily home, we're having to prepare ourselves for things that she will need done and either Maria Marcela or I will have to do them. One, was having to learn how to empty her bladder with the catheter. Last night was my initiation. Needless to say, it was painful for all of us. Quite a humiliating thing to do.

Today, Andrew and I headed back to Frisco and checked on things with the house and plan to go back tomorrow.

Maria Marcela told me that Emily did good today in her first rehab treatment. She was actually able to sit up on her own without being held. This may shock some to realize that's just where she is at. It's quite a set back for a little girl who was making huge milestones with walking and then running with her existing scoliosis.

We learned from friends that there was a day of prayer and fasting for her and others last Friday. Thank you so much.

We got home to find some gifts from cousins in Boston that Emily will certainly enjoy.
