Lady Emma Update

Due to popular request, here is an update on Lady Emma's condition. The doctors looked at her incision today (about 2-3 inches long at the base of her spine) and said that it was healing up nicely. Tomorrow, Sunday, they will have her sit up and see if she can do that without any pain. If it goes well, then we could be coming home on Sunday. We don't really know at this point, but we are all hopeful that this will be our last night at the hospital. (I'm getting tired of hospital food and McDonalds' :) )

This evening we are all watching the White Sox vs Indians baseball game and Lady Emma is happy that the Sox are winning so far, 6 to 5 in the 7th inning.

  4. I am really glad all seems to be going in the right direction! My prayers are with you and your family. And I am sorry I did not have an opportunity to make a dash to the Children Hospital in Lincoln Park, and join you at the local McDonald's for a quick chat!

  7. We all look forward to seeing Lady Emma in her tricorn hat commanding her loyal teddy bear army . . . and hope to see it sooner rather than later.

    Best wishes to your little darling and may her recovery be swift and uncomplicated.

  10. Jim,

    All my best to Lady Emma, and to Mom and Dad. I've been where you're sitting 25 years ago with my oldest daughter, again about 5 years ago with the oldest granddaughter, and then last November with her mother (my youngest daughter). It never gets any easier on Mom and Dad, but the kids seem to think it was all a wonderful adventure when its over.

    I look forward to seeing the charming Lady Emma in command of her bears again soon, maybe she'll let Dad win one!
