Yes, you read that correctly!
Emma was completely at ease, pain-free and very relaxed last night. She waved to the sweetest night nurse, Karlene, each time she came in and out of the room. She complied with each request to listen to her heart, check her blood pressure and look in her little mouth with a flashlight.
Most cheerful patient ever.
We all dozed on and off, and by 4:30am Emma said she was done "shway" {sleeping}, so now we are up reading books and thinking about coloring. Still pretty mellow and slow, though, are we three. Jim stayed, too. So the three amigos are all watching the sunrise over the city, praising God for a night beyond anything we expected.
We are truly in awe.
The kids visited last night and brought heart balloons. Emma loves them! Two purple, one bright pink, one red. I bolted down dinner {from Broders- thank you, Jim's workmates!} in the family lounge with my mom. It tasted soooo good. Jim left to return everyone home, pack up and return. And we were all quickly drifting off to sleep in our various bed accomodations. Brief slumber, yet oh so peace-filled.
I didn't sleep much so I'm aware of being a bit delirious writing this out. I keep staring at the blinking cursor and nothing is coming clearly to mind! Coffee. Coffee. Coffee. :) Soon.
Emma sends her winsome smile and love to each of you. Our little valentine.
Happy Tuesday. It is a good morning, indeed!

What a delight to soak in God's goodness as you have and be toegether as Emma heals. We are so glad to have her on this side of this procedure and to see her trusting and loving you and Jim! All of this is reason to rejoice. Love to you as you faithfully minister to your sweet Emmacakes today!
