Great Weekend













We had a great week and weekend. Grandee came from Texas to visit and we had a blast. She loves Emery so much and it was great to see her too!

Grandee babysat while we went tubing with J and Jac. We had a really great time. Thanks again mom for sitting for us.

Heather is on the mend and doing so much better. She is leak free and will hopefully be going home sometime this week. Thanks for the continual prayer for her!

latest and greatest









Please continue to pray for my sister as she is on the mend. She had surgery this week to remove the celitified (sorry on the spelling) fluid that had accumulated and incased her lung. They now say that her lungs are clear and she has said that she can breath so much better. They are waiting to see if the clue procedure that they did last week took or not and if not they are going to put a stint in, but the Dr. feels that it took. She is very very weak and is doing some PT and breathing treatments to get back on her feet again. Pray that she can come home in the next week or 2 as I know that she is missed at home and that she missed them too.

Mom is coming to visit. She will be here on Wed. I am so excited! I can't wait to spend time with her and I know that she is so stoked to see Emery. She can't wait and won't believe how big she is as she hasn't seen her since Thanksgiving.

We went to the doctor today for a checkup and Little E-as uncle J calls her is not so little anymore. She is 8lbs and 20 1/2 inches long. Praise God for his faithfulness!
Everything looked great and she is growing and eating good. Then she got 3 shots. That is so hard as a mother to watch. Necessary-but hard!

Michael and I are going to get to get away on Saturday while mom babysits Em.
We are going snow tubing at www.perfectnorth.com. I haven't decided if I am going to ski or just tube, but either way it is a blast. We went last year and we are going with J and Jac and their boys and Joyce. We are soooo looking forward to it as we havent really done anything together since Emery was born.

NICU Grad Clinic Appt.




Well, we had our appt. with the NICU grad clinic today. It went great. Emery is 7lbs and 19 inches long. She is getting so very big. They said that everything went great. We are working on weaning her off of her O2 so within 3 weeks God willing she will be totally off. We got to increase her feeding and that will make her a much happier camper. Her arms, legs etc. are moving great, her lungs are very clear and when they listened to her it was great. All in all it was a fabulous visit. Praise God.
Please continue to pray for my sister. Hopefully she will be getting out of the hospital within the next 5-6 days. They are going to try a new glue procedure on the hole in her stomach so hopefully it will stick this time. It is $3000 glue, so it should do something!!!!
This makes 26 days that she has been in the hospital after her weight loss surgery on Nov. 29th. She has gotten to come home for a few days here and there and then will have more complications and have to return to Baylor.
Please also pray for Michael's uncle. They removed his lung due to cancer and he is in the hospital still trying to recover and breath regulary again. Pray for his wife and family.
Well, i guess that is all for now. Just thought I would get a quick update in.
