Emilie - 11 months old





Hello everyone!!


Well, Emilie turned 11 months old on March 6. This past month Em began to hold her head up for a few seconds at a time. She finds this a great challenge. Her determination is amazing. She just keeps trying. She also LOVES to play games. Patty-cake, making faces at you, and singing when she finds her leak. She welcomed more teeth this month for a total of 8. She is also beginning to welcome her first set of molars as they begin to push their way through.
I am a little late mainly for two reasons. #1 report cards just went out and last weekend we found ourselves in isolation again. Finally today, Mar 18, they took her out of isolation. We were hoping to take her outside last weekend and were disappointed to arrive at the hospital to find her in isolation because of rotavirus. While in isolation we have to wear gowns in the room and sometimes even masks. This time it was just the gown. That is why Taylor is wearing a gown in the first picture.
Please continue to pray for Emilie's health and her equipment. We may be able to take her out of the hospital on Good Friday for awhile (her birthday) using the hospital's equipment, but please keep praying for hers. Also keep praying for homecare.
On Good Friday we are asking our family and friends to join us in a day of prayer and fasting for Emilie. If we are allowed to take her out we would love to have hands laid on her during prayer. Please pray for this as well because the devil keeps standing in our way when prayer for her is about to happen. Please pray that nothing will stand in the way.
Thanks everybody!!
Your prayers and support are very much appreciated!!
We love you all,
Darwin, Sherri, Taylor, and especially Emilie.
