Emma's heel cord surgery was yesterday and she was tough and couragous as always. She told the surgeon that she wanted a purple cast and a blue cast. There must have been a creative cast assistant because she came out fashionably striped. Emma was the sweetheart of all the Day Surgery Nurses. They took one look at her chart that showed this as her 5th surgery in 4 years and then saw her sweet, happy smile and fell in love with her! She is doing very well today. She can bear her own weight for short amounts of time but was carried around like a princess today. Emma hasn't complained one time and doesn't like pain medicine so it is hard to tell if it hurts! She is very thankful to her Daddy for being her transportation. Emma got to ride in the golf cart at the soccer field so that made her day! A big thanks to Grandma and Grandpa for the delivery, she keeps it all right by the couch so she can "feel cheered up"!

Get well soon! Those are the fanciest casts I have ever seen. Love ya' Aunt Lana
Get better soon! Those are great casts. I have heard that Ice Cream helps legs to heal faster.
Emma, those are the fanciest casts that I have ever seen! They ought to help you get better quick! You are indeed a brave and cheerful girl--and that will help you heal faster for sure. I love you so much and I know that Heavenly Father loves you too. I'm so thankful that your Dad could give you a blessing. Keep smiling that beautiful smile!
Emma is a brave soul, with a very positive outlook on life. You are being very brave, I don't think I would put up with the Dr cutting on me so much, but i guess they know whats going on. Keep getting better and make sure that you use your new taxi a lot, he needs to be training for the 08 spud.
Looks like you're doing really good. Grandpa had two casts just like yours when I was a kid but my casts didn't look nearly as good as yours. Glad you're getting better. Make sure your mom and dad give you a hug BIG for me.
Love,
Grandpa
And a big hug from me too! I hope you get better soon!!!
All your cyber hugs and good wishes and prayers must be working because Emma is up and walking around this evening. She uses a wheelchair at school for long distance hall walking but can move around on her own everywhere else. We love her but our backs were getting worried she may not walk at all! Thanks everyone!
I love your casts Emma, but i'm sure you'll be glad when they're off. You're an amazing girl and I hope you know how much you're loved!
Sweet Emma -
I'm so glad that you were able to have surgery. I know those magic casts will have you feeling better in no time at all!
Take care ...!
