Pray for Emily Garrison

She is a sweet little 2 and a half year old girl battling stage 4 neuroblastoma. She and her family is facing an 18 hour surgery tomorrow to remove the tumor. She has already fought a battle and her little body has much more to endure. Please, please add her to your prayers.

If you like, visit http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/mygranddaughter2 to read her story, her parents journal, and her guestbook. It would be a great encouragement to them if you'd leave a note to let them know you are praying!

Thanks!
Amy

Quick update

Hi all! We went for Emma's three week check-up on Tuesday and my sweet little girl is doing GREAT!

Turns out she is an overacheiver already (like Wyatt was). She has packed on three pounds since her first doctor's appt. She weighed in at 10lbs 10oz (96% on the growth chart). Chris & I just looked at each other & laughed.

It's a little awkward when the nurse looks at you & says "You must have some good milk." Umm, thanks, I guess . . .

Wyatt is still doing really good with her, but doesn't understand that I can't lift him yet. I'm hoping he will still want me to pick him up in three weeks. I try to give him special attention when she is napping & he's had LOTS of great playtime with his daddy. He is rapidly changing before our eyes-amazing us with songs he sings, things he says, things he prays for, he is a great boy!

Well, I had better sign off for now if I want to get a shower AND brush my teeth today! ;-)

    She is such a precious baby. Wyatt just amazes me with how much he has changed and developed in the past year.

Wow - What a week!!!

We are so happy that Emmalee is here and healthy! God's blessings are abundant! We have wonderful family and caring friends who are taking care of us while we enjoy our sweet little addition. Wyatt loves his baby sister & is so sweet with her. Here are some pictures (I'll warn you, it's a long slide show) that we've taken since last week. Thanks to everyone for all the well wishes & congratulations! We are certainly blessed to have all of you in our lives!

    Ugh, yes. It was TERRIBLE. I got to the hospital at 8:45pm and was monitored ALL night long and saw my doctor after 8am. He then had me wait some more and didn't come back until 1pm. He said that he couldn't send me home since I was in labor so c-section that day it was! We were so thrown off with having him that early, but I was SO relieved to not be pregnant anymore. SO nice!

Welcome New Baby Sister!

We rejoice in the arrival of Emmalee Carol Claibourne, "Emma". She was born Tuesday at 12:42 p.m., and weighed 7 pounds 10 1/2 ounces and 20 inches long. She is so beautiful! Mom, Dad, and baby are doing great, and Wyatt is so proud of his new baby sister!

    Well, you did end up beating me...by all of 7 hours and 15 minutes, but they share the same birthday! :)

    Congrats! You are better than me on the photos end of things. I still have non stop company and haven't been able to get on this computer but for about 5 minutes...yep, being beckoned now...
