Emma got home from the hospital on Wednesday afternoon at 4:00.  They left for the memorial service by 6:00.  So it was close, but Emma made it and everyone was pleased that she was there.  Emma had a 3 hour nap in the afternoon, so she was able to stay awake for the complete service.  Following the service I took Emma home so that the rest of the family could go out for dinner.  Emma was asleep by the time they came home.  Emma has been doing well.  She has had to have some Tylenol to help with the surgery pain, etc., but is now doing much better.  She is back to her smiley self.  It takes a little more time at diaper changes to make sure the drain is covered by the diapers.  Just another learning process.  Hopefully this will prevent the bladder infections.  We are so thankful that both surgeries were able to be done at one time.  Thank the Lord for watching over Emma and orchestrating all the people to be at the right place at the right time to accomplish this. 

Love to all,
Grandma Carol
