As we travelled to see our little Emma and her mom and dad, we sent up many prayers that the Lord would comfort all of them and heal Emma. To say the least, we were anxious to see how our little Emma was doing.
We arrived at the hospital ER room around 6:30 p.m. The Vissers had been waiting in the hospital since around 1 p.m. They were exhausted as they had to hold an oxygen mask to Emma's face. Her blood oxygen level had gone down to about 85 which was not good. Even though she was one sick girl, she continued to be just as smiley and happy as ever.
Once she got into her hospital room, she was put in an oxygen tent with ivs which included an antibiotic, steroid, and liquid so she wouldn't become dehydrated. She also received breathing treatments every 3 hours. To say the least, this little one had to undergo a lot of experiences that we all wish she didn't have to endure. She was such a trooper through it all. The diagnosis
was asthma, pneumonia, and rsv.
We were so proud of Sarah and Matt through all of this. They are wonderful parents and take such good care of Emma and each other. We could see that God's peace had breathed on them. We tried to just be there for all of them. Again only God could have had us so near to support them and help them in any way we could.
After five days, Emma came home from the hospital. She felt so much better and was so excited to be loosened from her iv and oxygen. She squealed with delight to be home, be free, and be able to play with her toys. Craig and I had such fun to babysit her for a day before we headed to San Francisco to see Todd. Saying goodby wasn't too bad as we plan on returning for the month of March.
We thank the Lord everyday for answering our prayers for all our kids and grandbaby. He is so good to all of us!
