After waiting almost all day for surgery, Emma finally got her central line in this afternoon. We were hoping that she would get it, but the doctors weren't sure it would be possible today. Because her counts are so low and she has been feverish, they said that this was not an "ideal" time to do the surgery. But the pros outweighed the cons and they continued on with the surgery. The surgery was successful and Emma is doing great!
Emma's white blood cell count is 12% which is a great start! We are still trying to understand how all of the numbers work, but what we do understand is that Emma is starting to rebuild her immune system. She has had a platelet and blood transfusion today as well. Hopefully soon we will see Emma generating her own red blood cells, and platelets.
Emma is going to be sore from her operation today, we ask that you would pray that Emma's pain or soreness will be minimal. We also ask you to continue to pray for a complete healing for Emma. We thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers Emma is doing great through the first month, but we have 10 more months to go. Please pray for strength for all of us, we love you all.
