Emmy's Story Archive

...little Miss Emmy's condition as been improving at a pretty fixed pace. The girl quietly napping in the crib next to us is a completely different girl from the one who was rushed down here in the back of an ambulance a few days ago. Pale, fragile, feverish, and sickly was how she arrived but as of this morning she is most definitely feeling more like herself.

Emery was diagnosed when she was just 5 months old and since then it has been a constant rotation of hospitals, doctors, nurses, needles, port access, tubes, anesthesia, scars, blood, chemo drugs, endless car rides and so much puke. It is what she knows which, in itself, is both good and bad.
