Home at last




On Wednesday at 2:30 PM Emily and I walked in the door. My friend Karen came and helped me pack Em's room and bring it back. I'm not sure I could have done it without her because in 3 weeks we had compiled enough stuff to fill Karen's mini van. Emily walked in an sat on the sofa, the next time I checked she was fast asleep. 3 hours later she woke up and said that she was hungry. Emily's pain was a little out of control in the hospital so I've been trying to balance it again now we're home. Today Emily got up and washed and dressed herself, walked (with AFO) into the kitchen for breakfast all pleased with herself. It's been a long road and I know we're just beginning but I feel like Emily has a chance at a normal life for the first time in a long time and therefore I have hope. Tom was shocked to see us home because I didn't tell him that we were coming so that he'd have a surprise. It's good to have my family together again.

Thank you for posting this journey your daughter is on. I know it's difficult for you to experience, let alone document, but understand that what you are doing is bringing hope to countless people that you will never even have the hopes to meet.
Your outlook and your daughter's optimism has caused me, personally, to be more humble concerning my own situation.
Again, thank you.
Know that you have the support and prayers of 200 people that know her only through your blog... and let Emily know that her joy throughout her struggle is awe-inspiring.
