Error

Emilie's first night home was July 24th not June 24th. Sorry!!

Emilie's First Night Home.......EVER!!!











Hello everybody!! Just to update you a bit...Emilie spent her first night at home, in her own room on June 24, 2007. Praise the Lord!! We got home rather late that night because I took three of my 10,11 and 12 students to the Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan. Emilie slept most of the way home and barely stirred when we took her inside. Taylor was staying with Grandma because we anticipated the late return.
In the morning when I woke Em, she looked at me and went back to sleep. Then when she did wake up she looked a little lost. I explained to her where she was and that we were at her house and she was in her room. Shortly after, she was fine. I did her physio and range of motion, gave her a suction and her feed. She fell asleep while she was having her feed. I woke her up again at 10 because home care was coming for a meeting.
Our meeting went great. We are approved, but just waiting for a confirmation from the managers before we can bring her home. Pray for the timing. We are hoping to have her home to do some training before school starts, but are trusting that this will all happen when GOD wants it too. Everything has happened in his perfect timing.
I hope you enjoy the pictures. Darwin's mom and dad showed up just before I was going to leave to bring her back to Saskatoon so we stayed a little longer. Had everything done so that when we got back to the hospital all she needed was her last feed. ENJOY!!

Thanks for all your prayers and support again. I pray that God will richly bless those who have shown us any kind of prayer support and continue to do so. PUSH - Pray Until Something Happens.

Love,

Darwin, Sherri, Taylor, and especially Emilie.

EMILIE'S DEDICATION





Hi everybody!!


Emilie was dedicated on June 24th at Lawson Heights Pentecostal. Here are some pictures of the dedication. Also, something else important happened the night before (the 23rd). We had her overnight for the first time and things went great!! This is just one more step closer to bringing her home. Also, my mom and I took her for the night on July 1st as well. She went to see the fireworks and she was really interested in them.


Our homecare meeting on June 28th was cancelled due to the pending strike, but they told me not to worry it's going to happen - PRAISE GOD!!


Please continue praying for Emilie's health. She was running a fever, but I believe it to be just a small cold - it didn't last very long. Darwin, Taylor and I are taking off for BC in a couple of hours for a short holiday. We wish we could take Em, but maybe next year. Pray that her home oxygen situation will get sorted out etc. Thanks everyone!! Each one of you is special to us and we thank God for all of you that are praying for Em's healing - He's doing it!! Little by little she is beginning to move more and more. Thanks to all of you especially God!!
