Dr. Rice informed us that Emma's condition is more severe than they had anticipated. She's in surgery and will be for the next 2 hours. I sat with Emma in the NICU while singing her lullabyes and stroking her hair. Mom was still too weak to visit. After an hour or so we went across the hospital to the OR. The doctors tried to assure me that she's in capable hands, but there aren't any words for this. Now we wait and pray.
