I'm so happy for Princess Emma's progress. Our God reigns and He is always faithful and in good timing.
Therefore, Princess Emma will be home in God's good timing so that she will never have to hospitalized again.
That is my prayer for you and beautiful Princess Emma and your family. That she will be home in God's good timing. You want her immunity to be strong. With all of these outbreaks of colds and 'flu', especially among children, God is making sure that Emma can handle the resistance to the spread of such from harming her.
I totally and completely support your desires to have her home soon. Even more, I pray for her strength to become even more strong each day. Count these delays a blessing which have incubated her from others who could have passed something onto her.
When she's home, here are some suggestions to protect her while she is still growing strong:
- Keep her away from other children (outside of the immediate family), just until she is adjusted to being home.
- Wear masks. No one should be offended by this. If so, they're being selfish. Ask the hospital or go to a medical supply store and purchase a box of facial masks. This is for Emma's well being as she continues to grow stronger.
- Don't allow anyone to kiss her face directly, until she's grown stronger. You may have family and friends who may not 'think' first, before doing so. But it's too easy to 'pass' things on.
With all of this hype about the swine flu and such, it's not worth the risk to Baby Emma's health.
For several weeks, she literally been isolated from exposures to others who may have something to pass on.
Am I sounding mean? I hope not. Princess Emma has become quite a fixture in my heart and I guess you can call me 'protective of her.
