Day 5 and Diaper Hair :)

So, when I made today's post I forgot a few details. Part of the reason I write this blog is so that Emma will have these memories of this time and that she will see God's love and care for her and how he has so faithfully answered our prayers.

Today we asked Emma's nurse if whe could have her hair washed. She agreed and said that she would come back later to do it. When she came back Emma's friend "Cupcake Shorts" had come to visit but we went ahead with the hairwash anyways. So, the way we thought it would take place is on a tray that is fairly flat and Emma stays lying down on her back for the hair wash but when the nurse came in with the supplies she had a huge package of adult diapers plus (yes, I did say adult diapers!) all the regular hair washing stuff. She proceeded to put some of them under Emma's head since she couldn't find the tray and washed her hair over adult diapers....it's pretty remarkable how much liquid those can hold! Anyway, diaper head....I mean Emma has nice clean hair now and Cupcake Shorts, Emma, her mom and I had a few good laughs about the whole thing. She also got her hair trimmed today since they had spa day here at the hospital!

On a more serious note: The top of Emma's incision is not looking so hot right now. Earlier today they had taken out her IV's and were preparing her for tomorrow's departure but tonight the Dr's wanted her IV reinserted and they put her back on IV antibiotics. They will come and assess it again tomorrow morning. There is a chance that we will not be going home tomorrow....she's pretty upset about that. Please pray that it will get better. Thanks so much!
