Oatmeal

We have been extremely blessed from family, friends, neighbors, acquaintences- everyone during Emma's sickness. We are thankful for all your love, concern, offers to help, and prayers during this time. One such blessing came in a UPS package from our work family at Analytical Graphics, Inc.
Emma loves this new addition and Oatmeal has become a part of her daily interactions.




Emma and I had the chance to go back down to Children's Hospital and meet with the Renal specialists on Wednesday. Emma has been looking better, eating better, acting better, and quite frankly, peeing better since last Sunday. The Doctors confirmed that she is starting to recover. While there was still a large amount of microscopic blood in her urine, the protein level is almost gone and her blood levels are returning to normal. We now only go to the Dr once a month, one month to our primary care- the next month to the specialists, until everything is back to normal. From our point of view, she is much better!! Thank you again for all your love and prayers! Our prayers are being answered!

On a side note- has anyone seen the movie, "Paul Blart- Mall Cop"? It was filmed here in MA at our closest mall- the Burlington Mall. This was the main entrance they showed repeatedly in the movie.

I'm so happy Emma is doing so much better! How absolutely sweet to have a friend like Oatmeal to take with you places-- especially during a scary time.

What a cutie Emma is! She looks like a mini-Tynel. :)

I'm so glad to hear that Emma is doing better. It's so difficult to have a little one sick - much worse than being sick yourself.

I apologize I have been a horrible blog friend lately! I didn't even know Emma had been sick. I'm glad she is doing better. I've just been really busy lately and have neglected my blogging. I loved watching your family dance! You have such a neat family. Enjoy the snow!!
