Let the celebration begin!
Emma Kate's hand is fully healed!
Praising the Lord for this beautiful work.
She has five fingers on her right hand and five fingers on her left! Her skin grafts look lovely. The infection is completely gone and her hands are totally restored.
It is wonderful. WONDERFUL!
Tomorrow, you will see us {drum roll and cheering crowds, please!} at the pool! Emma Kate? She cannot wait. I'm thinking she will be our early bird riser tomorrow morning with all the anticipation in the air.
And tomorrow? Cooper's cast also comes off!
Wahooooo!
One darling story: at night we have been taking Emma's bandages off in order to give her hand fresh air. Last night after I'd tucked the girls I walked by their room. Anna was reading so the light was still on. I could see Emma Kate from the hallway, and stopped to gaze. Suddenly, I noticed she was counting her fingers on her right hand, over and over again. I was rooted in place trying to discern if she was solemn and a bit sad or feeling content and joyful about it. Finally I crept in and snuggled up with her, noticing her quiet smile.
"Emma Kate. Tell me about your counting", I whispered.
"Mom. I'm counting my fingers. I can count to ten. I have five and five", she shared.
"Emma Kate, are you happy?"
"Oh, mom. I love home. I am so happy. I come here and you love me. Look at my hand".
Be still my heart.
