Hello,

Emma is my niece. She is a newborn 6-7 days old. She was born on July 1, 2008 at noon. Emma has a heart disease. Her heart didn't fully develop. She has to have open heart surgery. Its scheduled for next Thursday. Here is a link to what is wrong with her.

http://www.cincinnatichildrens.org/health/heart-encyclopedia/anomalies/hlhs.htm

I just know its VERY VERY serious. And if you saw this beautiful baby with all the wires hooked up to her you would cry your eyes out. She is in a good hospital though - Milwaukee Children's hospital. I wish I could change places with her. I truly would.

Emma will have another surgery at 4 months. There are many surgeries expected in her young life. She will never be able to keep up with other kids. She is my little munchkin though!!!!!!

We are all VERY VERY nervous about this surgery so we could use SOOOOOO much prayer. If you could pass it along we would love it. We want her to make through it and not be too sore and hurting. Her little body is going to go through so much trauma. She has already had one blood transfusion and they are not letting her eat yet. Just through IV's. And after the surgery they are keeping her chest cavity open.

She is so teeny tiny!!! 6lbs.

My sister and her husband have a blog - we would love people to go there and write them. The website is www.caringbridge.org/visit/emmajoy

She is SOOOOO beautiful. Please keep praying please whenever she comes to mind. Pass it on to all you know. Pay it forward. PLEASE!

My sister and her husband also need people to give them MAJOR encouragement. They are under so much stress and this is draining them. And they just want Emma Joy to be ok. And they still have two other little girls who they have to try to explain things too. Madyson and Kyleigh just know that their baby Emma Joy has to stay with the doctors.

When I spent time with Emma I got choked up. I sang to her quite a bit. You wouldn't believe how beautiful she is. And she has dark hair!!!! WOO HOO!!!! The Italian side has finally kicked in. Her other two kids are bleach blonde!

I know God is in control. But its really hard you know??

They say Emma will be going to go downhill before getting better after the surgery.

Wanna hear something cool??? It took 26 minutes from La Crosse, WI to fly little Emma Joy in a jet to the Milwaukee Childrens hospital. How cool is that!!!

She is breathing on her own. They may have to keep giving her blood transfusions though.

PLEASE pray for her and PLEASE pass it on and write it all over. PLEASE!!! We want our emma joy for a long time.

I want little Emma Joy to make it. I don't want to even think of the alternative. PLEASE keep praying and I will try and keep everyone updated. Lift her up in prayer PLEASE!!!!!! What is a prayer for one moment in time for a baby???

Thank God for the Milwaukee Children's hospital and the Ronald McDonald house!!! I am hoping to get ahold of the Children's miracle network too...
