This weekend the nurses finally got to weigh Emma for the first time since her heart surgery. She is 7 pounds 1 ounce now! She is also 19 inches long. Our cardiologist is very happy with her progress. If her only issue was her heart, she would be coming home soon. Unfortunately her airway issue is the big problem right now. They put her trach back in on Thursday and it continues to irritate her airway. She is going to require another surgery this week to laser off some granuloma tissue in her airway. They have ordered her a custom trach as well that will hopefully be in this week. On Friday Emma was very irritated so the ENT doctors came in and scoped her airway again. The trach tube needed to be adjusted and ever since Emma has been doing great. She is finally the size of a newborn baby. She will be 4 months old on Wednesday. Here are a few new pictures of her.

That is great news. I am glad she is doing well and it will be in my prayers that she continues to recover and that you and Alissa will remain strong. I am sure this has been the most difficult 4 months in your lives. Continue to be strong and take care of each other. Your family is in my thoughts often. Thanks for keeping us updated.
Emma sure does look like you Mark!! Too cute!!
