Emma's Weight Update

Many of you have been keeping tabs and praying for Emma's weight gain. I am happy to say that Emma has been steadily gaining and is now tipping the scales at
20 pounds 9 ounces.
We are now praying that she will start growing in height, as she has fallen short in this area (no pun intended) and her Doctors are looking to start growth hormones, which would mean an injection everyday for the next 12-14 years. Ouch! It would certainly be nice if she didn't have to go through that too. So far, her next bronchoscopy has NOT yet been scheduled but we are praying that it happens soon and that the prognosis is good so that if she's ready her trach can come out.
Thank you all for your continued prayer support.
