Welcome.

This is the story of our daughter Emma. Her story begins with a rare birth defect called Gastroschisis. This space is dedicated to the days before her birth and the many that are sure to follow.

Update, September 29th

I intended to have entered our last blog entry. However, many have asked for an update on Emma that there is no better place to give it than here. Emma is gaining a very healthy ounce per day. Her belly button is now dime sized and still scabbed over. She has an appointment to have the last of her stitches removed on October 15th. Her hair is slowly growing back from the incompetent nurse.



She is a normal baby in as much as you imagine. She sleeps, eats, and poops with the best of them. She even had her first bath.



I hope to load some more photos in the upcoming days.
