Today was another good day. It started off on a negative note, I asked Emily how she felt when she woke up and she responded "miserable". But sometime mid morning her spirits were noticeably higher. And over the rest of the day we had a joking, smiling, laughing Emily at times. Her tummy remains a real problem so she can go from feeling pretty good to feeling not so well quickly.
Even though it is Saturday we needed to stop by Packard for her labs to be drawn. It was the quickest visit we have had to date at Packard. We needed to have a timed blood draw, at 12 noon, so we arrived at 11:55, had the labs drawn at 12:05, and were out of there by 1pm at the latest. To our surprise Emily requested to hang out with a friend, which she hasn't asked to do for at least 2 weeks. We stopped off at Emily's friend Gray's house for a visit. Emily wasn't very talkative during the visit, but we think she really liked being around other kids. This evening a neighbor dropped off dinner, we put Haley to bed early so Tracy, Emily and I can hang out and watch movies and hopefully all go to bed relatively early.

Hi,
I'm glad the trip to Packard was a quick one today. I hope you have a nice, relaxing evening, and I'm sending positive thoughts your way.

Hi Everyone -
It's so good to hear that the joking, smiling, laughing Emily was back today! She is so amazing the way she pops back to her normal self whenever she is given the slightest opportunity -- like a bit of relief from the pain. It was a gorgeous day here today too, but we were running around getting ready for our trip tomorrow.
Love you all.

So glad to hear that you had another good day. We were happy to see that Emily got to spend some time with her friends. Hope your Sunday was good too. Love to you all.
I am so happy to hear the last few days have been better. I can imagine how hard all of this must be for all of you.
Prayers coming your way,
Michele
After all that Emily has to deal with, she still manages to laugh and smile and ask for a playdate. She is such a trooper!
Keep hanging in there, Emily! I'm so sorry about your tummy hurting so much.
Sending lots of happy thoughts and big hugs, Jane.
Just wanted to let you know that Emily has been in my prayers since I learned of her diagnosis through a friend. Sending love and prayers from Virginia, Colleen
