Formal discharge: complete! Emma is finally...

Formal discharge: complete! Emma is finally home. She is now officially a day patient at Holland Bloorview and she hopes to start back as a part time student at Stonehaven ES (her home school) next Friday. We are thrilled with all of the support we have received - thank you!

Emma toughs it out through a new set back: another stress fracture to the spine due to thin bones (yet to be understood) causing a great deal of discomfort and worry.

And yet, through it all this wonderful, sparkly girl is determined to show everyone what true Will lies deep in the soul of a winner!! Keep it up Emma!!!

A wonderful weekend of family and ....FOOD!
With Emma getting stronger, she actually got to enjoy some home cooking this weekend (and her parents actually got to be home with family to feed - a double blessing!!) Thank you all for your continued support. Emma's efforts continue as she works towards a possible discharge sometime this spring. Keep working Emma - you're doing it!!

Intensive therapy continues at Bloorview during the week with home visits happening on weekends. A formal discharge date of April 20 is set: the charge is on!!! Emma you inspire us all...Keep it up!!!

Please support young Emma (9 years old). Emma struggles for strength and answers to a critical illness doctors have yet to fully understand. Emma walked into Sick Kids Hospital on October 31, 2011 complaining of fatigue and shortness of breath. Since then, Emma's health has slowly slipped away as she has lost her ability to stand, sit and breathe on her own. Recent treatment has shown progress for Em. However, the road to recovery is long and she now needs 24hr care. With continued progress, friends of Emma plan for the hopeful day she comes home. To do this, Emma needs constant care, equipment and expensive treatments to support her special medical needs. Please buy and "Emma is" pin to support Emma's home care. The pins are available in bright, vibrant colours (just like Em) and display the characteristics this AMAZING little girl has demonstrated: bravery, heart, healing, courage, energy, and love. Or simply sport an "e" to show your support for Emma who dares to do her best.
