Please, everyone stop and pray for Lucas, Christy, the medical team, and their family. 🙏

Lucas is facing a setback, and he needs all the prayers we can give him.

It's hard to hold onto strength when your instinct is to let fear take over. But we know through Christ all things are possible. 🧡

After almost a year on homebound, our girl was BACK in school today! 🎉

We are so proud of Emma’s strength and courage, and so incredibly thankful to God for carrying her to this moment.

This journey has been long and full of challenges, but she’s met every single one with more bravery than we knew possible.

We’re grateful for her teachers, medical team, school staff, and every friend, prayer warrior, and supporter who helped get her here.

Here’s to healing, growth, and being right where she belongs. 🧡 📚 🙌

Please continue to remember her and our family in prayer. We're hoping and praying we can avoid bringing any sickness home. 🙏

2025.

It would be easy to list the hardest parts of this year. Instead, we're choosing gratitude and to fill our list with moments that have been so special to us.

• Our small community, and people far beyond it, rallying around our family. Reaching across the nation, to the White House, internationally, and even into space!

• Tragedy renewed bonds and reminded us what truly matters.

• Countless prayers, encouragement, and strength when we needed it most.

• Watching our second eldest daughter step up in Emma’s absence and become the big sister her siblings needed.

• Discovering that all of our girls carry fierce strength and bravery.

• The kindness of all-star athletes and organizations throughout the country with visits, videos, and memorabilia.

• After over 13 years of marriage, growing closer and seeing each other in a new light as we stood firm together through this trial.

• Hearing Emma had a perfect 10/10 donor that could save her life.

• After four intense rounds of chemo, including the first known as “red devil” and the last making her so sick we thought we were watching her fade away, hearing the words we prayed for: Emma is in REMISSION and engraftment was SUCCESSFUL. 🙌 🧡

• And our favorite, standing before mountains with nothing but faith and watching God move them time and time again. PRAISE THE LORD FOR HIS MERCY AND FAITHFULNESS!!!! 🙌 🙌 🙌

2025 brought hard lessons, but we chose faith over anger and trust over fear. We place our lives in the hands of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, praying always: His will be done. 🙏

As we enter 2026, we pray for joyful days together and for Emma to reach 18 months post-transplant in December 2026 without relapse.

Thank you to everyone who stood beside us this year and continues to do so. May your year be full of blessings and love. 💕

Happy New Year from our family to yours! ✨ We love you all! 🧡

Merry Christmas from the Hughett girls! ❤️🎄

We had a wonderful Christmas, soaking up every moment of togetherness we could. We are beyond grateful to be home to celebrate and so thankful that Emma is doing as well as she is.

As you close out the day, please remember the families spending Christmas in a hospital, hoping and praying for just one more holiday with their child. 🙏

We hope you all had a blessed Christmas. ❤️

Wednesday night was so special. 🧡

The Hughett girls sang their first special together in church since Emma was diagnosed. From the very beginning, Emma has talked about this moment and dreamed of the day she could sing with her sisters and cousin again. Seeing that hope come to life was incredibly sweet and meaningful. So proud of these girls and thankful for God’s faithfulness. 🙌

Our hearts are broken at the possibility of another family in our community facing the battle we've fought with Emma for so many months now. 💔

What we've discovered through Emma's story is that we have some amazing prayer warriors. We're asking all of you now to please remember Lucas and his family in your prayers. They need all they can get as they wait for more answers. 🙏

We had a blast participating in the Christmas parade today! ❤️🎄

We were missing Daddy, who's away at drill. But with the help of family, we pulled it off! 🍭🩷🍬

A HUGE THANK YOU to Scott County Chamber of Commerce for inviting Emma to be Grand Marshal!! It's a wonderful memory to hold! 🧡

The pictures say it all. 🧡

Praise the Lord, we're home! 🙌

Emma had some worries last night that she wouldn't get to come home today. We talked to her about how many times God has brought her through these trials. How faithful and merciful He's been. And showed her all the many people that have been praying for her. She went to sleep trusting in the Lord and woke up to labs being where they needed to be. 🙌 🙌 🙌

We can't thank everyone enough for your prayers. They've made such a difference time and time again for Emma and our family. ❤️

It was a Thanksgiving filled with love and blessings, and gratefulness for all the Lord has given. 🙏

We hope everyone's Thanksgiving was just as wonderful! 🧡

Thank goodness, Emma is feeling better!!! 🙌 🙌 🙌

We still don't have a 100% answer. We do know she had acidosis. What we're not sure of is what exactly caused it. All of the more common reasons were ruled out. The only possible explanation is the level of tacro (her anti-rejection med) in her body was way too high. This created toxicity that led to her kidneys not functioning the way they should and ultimately resulting in acidosis, which can cause the neuro issues we were seeing, too.

We finally got to move back down to the 2nd floor, and all the girls got to be together again. 🥰

If Emma continues to improve, the plan is to discharge tomorrow. Please pray that it works out. Celebrating the holidays home as a family is so important to us. 🙏

Thank you for all the love and prayers you've given us over the past few days! 🧡

Update:

Emma has had some glimpses of improvement today. Thankfully, her MRI and lumbar puncture have looked good. She had an EEG starting in the middle of the night to monitor the episodes we've been seeing. The results did not show any seizures. Unfortunately, they still are not sure what exactly is going on with her. We sent labs off this evening for pretty much every test they could think of that we haven't ran.

Please continue to remember her and our family in prayer. It's been extremely hard to watch her go through all of this testing, the multiple blood draws, and IVs. She's frustrated, and we all just want answers.

Thank you all. 🧡

Our girl is feeling ROUGH.

We don't really have any answers tonight. We're slowly ruling things out. She's still very lethargic and having strange spells. For now, we're staying in the PICU for close monitoring. Tomorrow, she'll have an MRI and a spinal tap. We're hoping and praying everything comes out clear.

Please continue to pray for Emma. We have a long night ahead of us. And it's been excruciating to be back in the same places where it all started. 💔

11/24/2025

Please say a prayer for Emma. 🙏 We're transporting by ambulance to Children's. Something is going on, but we don't have answers at this time. Thank you!
