emma prayers again
I have been trying to upload her more recent pix but the files are too large and I haven't been able to figure out how to shrink them down.
Anyhow, life has been hectic - every time I think I will have the time to concentrate on some of the posts I want to write something else happens.
Emma has been increasingly fussy and irritable, and today we were told that her shunt is not working right . So tomorrow morning she will go back into the hospital for what we hope will be a less than 24 hour stay. They will take out the non-working shunt and put in a new on on the other side of her head. Hopefully this one will work better and longer. It is scary for us, if somewhat routine for the surgeons.
Father Val came by to see Jess and Emma tonight and gave Emma the anointing of the sick in preparation.
The surgery is scheduled for 0730 tomorrow (Thursday). Prayers please, both now and later.
And please also include in your prayers my youngest daughter, B,, who has given up a considerable chunk of her time to help her oldest sister with the baby. It isn't easy for her, either, and she could use your prayers as well.
Thanks.
Will update when I can.
