They just finished rounds. She looks so much more comfortable and stable today than she did yesterday. Her blood pressure was 169/110 yesterday and now they are 107/66 today. She is going to have a blood transfusion (1 unit) today. She is on 24 hour dialysis (Continual Renal Replacement Therapy CRRT). Her BUN and Creatinine are lower today (kidney function) We are still waiting for the heart biopsy to come back. It should be here around 4. Neurology has been consulted just because she was down for 3 minutes yesterday, but she had a blood pressure and CPR so they do not think she has any damage. She had “purposeful movement” after the cath lab incident yesterday so that is a good sign. On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the best) she was at a 2 yesterday evening and today she is at a 4. She is not out of the woods yet, but she is atleast on the right trail.
From a mothers heart, it is hard to see her like this, but I know deep down that this is what is best for her. I have been having a lot of quiet time with her and the Lord, and honestly I can say that I have more peace today than I have in the last week. I have argued with God a lot, but I have also felt his hand on my heart through this ordeal.
So thankful for this update. You all have been heavy on my mind and heart. I won’t stop praying.
I’ve had your sweet daughter in my heart and prayers… thank you for the update. I am still praying like crazy for your whole family. God is wonderful isn’t he… Glad you feel his calmness today.
Hey, Heather. Just wanted you to know we are praying for you. I have also told a bit of Emma’s story and asked the staff here at Dawson McAllister Productions to keep you all in their prayers and on their prayer list. We were lifting you guys up earlier today, agreeing together for God’s mercy, His will, for the doctors’ wisdom in treating her and for Emma’s complete healing and health as well as strength for all of you, her family. Bless you guys.
Good to hear positive reports! I’m praying for even more of those!!
So glad to hear, Heather. I’ve been praying like crazy and checking Twitter and your blog for updates. Praising and continuing to pray.
Checking in daily to see how your family is doing. I posted this to my Facebook page, and I know that many of my friends will join in praying too.

We are praying for you. Emma hang in there! Such a tough and sweet little girl. Praying the machine gives her kidneys the break they need to heal. We love you!
So glad to hear good news. I am continuing to pray. May He wrap you all in His everlasting arms of Love!
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Dear Heather,
Emma and your family has been on my mind and heart for days. I pray for little Emma every chance I get. I was a little afraid to check facebook today but I realized if you can have trust in the Lord at this time I too need to trust Him more.
My God BLESS little Emma and the family.
My thoughts and prayers are with you always.
Love
Cyndi
Heather,

Dear Heather,
You know we are praying for little Emma, and for you and the rest of the family as well. I also phoned my nephew, David, in Michigan, and he and his congregation will say a special prayer for Emma. Our God is the Great Physician, and can do all things. Be strong, be patient and have faith.
Much love,
Bob and Betty
ok, somehow my comment got lost I think, anyways God had put you and Emma on my heart on Sunday, and now I see why, I will be praying for peace and grace, as well as healing.
Be Blessed
I haven’t checked out your website in quite awhile, but today checked in and saw all you are going through with sweet Emma. I’m so sorry and am praying for her complete healing, as well as for peace for your whole family.
I thought I’d swing by after I saw a little message on Darcy’s blog that we should stop by and “see” you. I’m Anna K. and it’s a pleasure to meet you, Heather!
You and Emma have my prayers, Heather. One tear in the driving rain…and your Heavenly Father sees and feels every one of them.
Thank you for the update. My husband and I continue to pray for grace and peace for you and healing for Emma.
I have passed your story on to a dear friend of mine whose granddaughter has just gone through a very similar illness. Everything you are experiencing happened to Ari…only her heart stopped 6 times. I tell you this as she is ok now!! She is back to being a lively 2 year old. God is so good and His mercies are new every morning. Great is His faithfulness!
