It's been a while since our last post and it seems as though Emily's surgeries have dictated the timing of our updates to the blog. We really should change that. But it just goes to show you when our awareness is heightened to our vulnerabilities. Thus the need to reach out to our families and friends and appeal to you for your prayers that all goes just the way our Creator would have it.
We're giving mommy a break this go around and daddy has checked in with Emily to the Dallas Scottish Rite for a scheduled surgery to replace one of the two titanium rods that has reached its maximum length. The other rod on the spine is still long enough to just simply be lengthened. I have requested of the doctor to give us the piece of the rod to take home and show to those interested in exactly what Emily has inside of her. We'll see if they actually end up giving it to us.
Anyway, we checked in this morning with first getting the routine of x-rays, weight checks, photography and observation by the staff. We're now in our room for the night and Emily's dinner was just delivered in which she chose fish sticks, apple sauce, tomato soup, chocolate milk and strawberry ice cream.
In the meantime, we're watching news reports of the terrible storms that went through Joplin, Missouri in which winds were measured around 200 mph, which is just unheard of. Our thoughts and prayers go out to those. The devastation is unreal.
We'll keep the blog updated with the results of her surgery tomorrow.
