Update.. realized it’s been over a week. We’ve been busy with therapy! Emily is doing great and it pushing hard to do more. I try to get as many pictures and videos as I can but when she catches me I get that look! lol she is eating more normal foods and working to have the g-tube remove in the future. She set that goal early on. She is working on finding her voice and does good with the exercises. Walking is a little wonky due to a cast on her left foot. It is stretching her foot for better range when walking. It’s being removed on Friday. They used her favorite color so I tried to do a doodle lol. Don’t laugh, I am not an artist lol Last weekend Mimi, Pepaw and dad came to hang for the day. We walked Michigan Ave. There were lots of people and a few fun things to look at! Emily found her next car. 😳 Then we stopped and ate at Labriola. She ate a plate of spaghetti and had some sweet tea! Great Saturday for sure! Quick update but know our girl is working hard! 💙💪🏼

After a long weekend Emily is Working hard and having a good time! We had a visit from her first speech therapist Sophie from Carle who is now at Ryan! She brought some flowers and a sweet card. Then Emily got had some visitors this weekend! Mimi and pepaw and dad! She got a pass and we went out walking and hit the magnificent mile! Hit a candy store that had everything! lol. Then after everyone left we had a great FaceTime with Niki & Matt and the boys over at Rick’s new house!!! Then to bed and she was out!
Therapy is going good and there are a lot of goals to meet and she’s been hitting them all! 💙💪🏼

Update… 😁😁
Emily had her eye surgery on July 18th to realign them and help with her double vision. We spoke to her main Doctor from Shirley Ryan and he wanted to bring her in for a month of inpatient intensive therapy. We agreed she would really benefit from it and it was put in the works, we know this can take some time to get going! We had an evaluation with physical/occupational therapy last week, and got the message Thursday that they wanted us there the next day!! I needed to pack us up so we are checking today! We will miss alot of people but always ready for a facetime chat! 😁 So keep her in your prayers as her and I move to Chicago for the time being! . 💙💪🏼
