Cute Story

Sitting here waiting for the surgeon, I was thinking about something cute that happened yesterday. While we were in the clinical lab waiting for E's blood to be drawn, there was a three year-old boy sitting in his wagon crying. He, unlike Emmett, obviously knew what was coming. Emmett looked so distraught and didn't understand why this little boy was so sad. He walked over to him, took a sticker off his shirt and gave it to the little boy. The boy was so excited that he just lit up and immediately stopped crying. Pleased with the reaction, Emmett started taking off all of his stickers, including his visitor's badge, and handed them to the boy. They played together for a little while while I talked with the boy's Mom. It nearly brought me to tears, and then...

The 2-year old came out in Emmett. He decided to take those stickers right back. We all laughed and the boy took it well. Emmett decided instead to give him a sucker, which seemed like a good deal to both of them. :)

Just wanted you to know my thoughts and prayers are with you! By now I imagine Emmett is in surgery and hopefully it won't be long until the Dr. comes to tell you everything went perfectly and you will be able to see E! I'll be checking back often for your updates. Hang in there . . Annette
