Hello Everybody,This is Emily. I can't wait to come home. I get to have a break from the hospital tomorrow. We get to go out to lunch with my sisters and grandparents. I stood up for 75 seconds today and I played basketball (actually it is more like bean bag ball). I got to throw them all at my therapist's head. I won. Yea me! I have been doing lots of artwork. I can't wait to get back to school. Thank you everybody for sending me messages. Thank you everybody for still thinking about me. That's all folks!!
Love,
Emily
P.S. I love all of you.

Hi Emily! I just wanted to tell you to keep up the good work! Your right eye looks really, really good. When Rachel's right eye opened, she told me it was all better now! You are doing such a fantastic job and we are real proud of you! Roxanne (from Iowa)
ReplyDeleteaw im glad you get to go out to lunch. i hope you can go home soon!
ReplyDeleteHey Emily! Great to hear from you! Your right eye looks great, and I LOVE that eye patch.....it's even better than sparkles and sequins! It's wonderful to hear that you're standing and doing better and better each day. Keep up the great work. It sounds like you're making steady progress, and that's what counts.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you, Linda T.

ReplyDeleteEmily,
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun surprise to see you typing your own update! HOORAY FOR YOU! Your hard work is paying off. 75 seconds is a long time and it's so exciting to see your eye opening. Everyone is so proud of you - you are an AMAZING person. If I could send you a big old hug in this electronic post, you know I would! Sending you lots of love and congratulations for your hard work, ~Maryanne
