A Brand New Day

Last night, Emmett made huge strides. He woke up (lucky Daddy was here to witness that) and wanted something to drink. When the nurse tried to hold a wet sponge up to his mouth, Emmett uttered his first words "Emmy do it". He wanted to do it himself...of course. That's my boy!

I was so relieved and proud to walk into the room this morning and see those big, beautiful, brown eyes looking back at me. He looks amazing today! He's still a bit sedative drunk, but he's talking a little and tugging at this lines a lot :) They just removed his left atrium line, and they will be removing another chest tube tube this afternoon. Sometime today, I WILL hold him :)

Unfortunately, Mom and Dad had to leave early this morning, so they didn't get to see him awake. We are just happy that they got to spend so much time with us. Safe travels, Grandma Cookie and Papa Mike...we love you!

Oh, Missy! What a difference a day makes :) He looks so good there looking at his book. So glad he's doing so well. We're looking forward to a picture of him in your arms!

Yeah it is so good to hear that he is talking and awake, hopefully by now you have held him. We will be sending a little video to say hello from Mekaya and Kai later. He looks great. xoxoxo

He is such a brave little man. I do honestly believe he is destined to do great things in his life to have gone through so much already. He could not have been born to a better mom and dad to help him through his journey of life. Get better soon Emmett!!
