all settled in

We were called back to be with Emma as she was waking up.  She was in a great deal of pain and quite scared.  The nurse remarked that she had been quite stoic and upon seeing us enter the room started crying and being visibly upset.  What sweet confirmation that we are her safe place.  She felt secure enough to show that emotion knowing we would absorb it and love her through it.  

Family.  The love of parents.  Safety, security and trust.

And the Lord birthing those things and growing them, even in this.  Glory.

We are now in a room.  Emma has had a few drinks of water and is sort of watching Little Bear.  

She is upset and wants "home"...the first words she's said besides water.  Bless her sweet, dear heart.

More soon.  We are doing an intake with a nurse.

She has her pink blanket and doll snuggled up with her.  And God is right here ministering love, comfort, hope and safety.  

We rest secure in Him.
