An Update on EmmaKate's heart

Plagiarized from my sister, Erica's blog:

UPDATE: The doctor has decided to go ahead with EmmaKate's heart surgery. She has lost weight since her last visit 2 weeks ago. The surgery will be Thursday at the earliest(unless an emergent situation occurs, which she will go to Vanderbilt for). I believe the latest will be one week from Monday. Please pray for EmmaKate, Joel, Amy, and Colin. This is a scary time for all involved, but we are trusting the promise that God loves his children more than we ever can. WE LOVE YOU EMMAKATE!!! Get well soon so you can beat up on all of your cousins!




And I'd add: EmmaKate had gotten up to 8 lbs 12 1/2 oz... but in 2 weeks has lost down to 8#5 - she is 13 weeks. Also they could use prayer because they have a lot to get done before the end of the month, and want to do it in the next couple of days. They have been married for only 4 days now. Amy needs to get a new drivers licence, ss card, get paperwork signed by doctors to transfer insurance to Joel's co. policy - please pray that EmmaKate is not rejected for having a pre-existing condition. - and Joel needs to move his stuff from his apt. to storage, Amy's and the dump, as well as clean his apt... which is apparently messy from not spending much time there the past few months, while his cats have taken over. He is hoping to get a lot of that done on Sat. (they canceled their party).

If EmmaKate experiences shortness of breath, or refuses to eat, she will need to go to Vanderbilt. They really hope that she will be ok until their Chattanooga surgeon gets back on Thursday.

This is a lot of stress for brand-newly weds! Please pray that they will cast all of their cares on the Lord!

Thank you for sharing with us the additional burdens on them right now. Please let us know if we can do anything to help. I will continue to pray for EmmaKate and also for her family; I just can't believe what they are going through.

I know only too well that God works in ways we sometimes can't understand.

Thank you for being there, when I am not. You always seem to take the burden. I am sorry for that. I will be there shortly.

On a side note, HAPPY BIRTHDAY HANNAH! We hope it was a grand day!
