Emilie has been home for 8 weeks!

Hi everybody!

Emilie has now been home for 8 weeks. She is doing very well. Her doctors have said that she has gotten stronger being at home and that being at home is very good for her. I think this is the first time I have actually agreed with the doctors. On Monday night, Emilie lifted her leg all by herself. She has also clapped her hands for the very first time last Friday. We have another appointment on October 30th. Everything has gone very well since she has been home. The only problems we have had was that Emilie had an ear infection about 2 or three weeks ago as well as the start of a chest infection. She wasn't sick enough to go back to Saskatoon, thank God, but was started on antibiotics right away. Please pray for her health. I don't want to see her back in the hospital unless it is for something good like trach mask trials or something like that. She has the beginnings of an ear infection again. Please pray for this. She isn't on antibiotics because it was only slightly red, but she is continuing to play with it so we may have to take a trip to ER this weekend to get it looked at. thanks for all your prayers and continued support. I will post some pictures soon. I do post pictures regularly on Facebook as well as videos.

Later!!
