Good Morning! I wanted to give you an update this morning. As a parent, I feel like tiny positive steps have happened. Last night they put another drain in her skull and it seems to me like it released some pressure and swelling in her face also...coincidence I don't know? She slept well and looked peaceful and comfortable last night. They started a new protocol of drugs that seem to keep her more regulated. Her vitals are stable. They still have her in a medical coma and she will stay that way until the swelling in her brain subsides and they feel her brain has had plenty of healing time. I truly don't know how long that will be...

We all know that Emily's heart and soul are full of positive energy. She is fighting for her life and working very hard. I know that if Emily could talk she would have an "opinion" about what's going on right now...

Also, wanted to mention how wonderful if feels to live in our community...you guys have been our support, thank you. We also feel how much Emily has touched so many lives. She has so many people that care about her...I tell her everyday about you all!

I was thinking if you have a picture or a memory to share we could make a collage for her room...bring it or send it with "the 6 chicks" or Ryan...and when she is ready to open her eyes, you guys will be there with her.

Thank you for all the positive energy and prayers...
