Today has been full of small miracles! She is eating and swallowing on her own (you have to put the food in her mouth, but she goes for it with her tongue!) She has some purposeful eye movement. She is able to sit unassisted and hold her head up straight. She LOVES going for wheel chair rides outside! (We are renting a wheelchair for her) She is consistently raising her hand so that daddy can do “this little piggy” with her fingers 
She picks her nose, rubs her eyes and clicks her teeth just like she use to do!
She is still in there… We just have to find the right method to getting her out.
She is going to be moved to Tampa General Pediatric Rehabilitation Center Tuesday or Wednesday. She has an MRI scheduled for Monday, so be praying for that.
I just want to thank all of you for all of your supportive comments to our posts. This has literally knocked us to our knees and turned our world upside down. Knowing that there are people out there who are interceding for her (and for us) means so very much… This is going to a very very very long road to recovery, yet I am confident that with your prayers and our help, she is up for it.
Thank you again,
Mark and Heather
Thank the Lord, Heather! Still praying for that precious Emma and you all ~ Hugs ~

I am so happy to hear about your day of small miracles. Keep on trusting in God – you will not be disappointed. Praying for you, Kathy M.
Tears in my eyes from reading this report. God is indeed good. Prayers will continue on your behalf.
With our special needs children we have to always remember to be thankful for the little things. Also, remember how much harder they have to fight for the little things so really they are big things.
I will keep Emma and your whole family in my prayers. Try to take care of yourself too!
Thank God!! We will continue to pray. Keep hanging on to Jesus! He will bring all of you “through this deep valley”! We are praying for your other kids too.
This is all great news!
That’s awesome news!!! God is SO great!!!
So good to hear Heather.
Through all the storms that you and your family have had to sail through, you are still riding the storms. You give courage to others who are afraid to keep riding the storms
That is just wonderful news. Small Miracles indeed! God is good! I will continue to keep you in my prayers.
