12:30am Wednesday/Thursday
Still at the hospital. Emma is sleeping soundly in the dim light of the NICU. I held her hand some more. She woke up for a short spell, but the nurse gave her a pacifier and it soothed her. I can't believe she has a full head of hair. What a beautiful little lady. I know - I'm biased.
The hospital is fairly quiet except for a few of the cleaning crew jawing in the corner of the cafeteria. I'm sitting at one of the many empty tables. It's been quite a start to her life. After only one day she has undergone a major surgery and faces the lenghty challenge of beginning to heal. I'm so proud of her. Triumph over adversity will not be reached at the end of a long journey, but in the rise and fall of her every breath.

my son was also born with this condition, and in the NICU for quite sometime.
After all the trials and stress and worry, he is fine and now 3 years old....big as a quarterback!
many thoughts and prayers are with you. she will pull through fine.
keep track of the doctors and try to keep as informed as possible.
sometimes they have trouble digesting at first, so stay patient and everything will work itself out fine! bless you and your new bundle of joy!
Emma is a beautiful little darling. I am praying constantly. Please continue to thank God for a complete healing and turn around.
