On July 23, Lyla Faye Littleton decided to make her appearance a month early. Lyla Faye does have Noonan Syndrome, just like her dad, and Lyla is producing too much lymphatic fluid, which is causing a lot of fluid in Lyla's lungs, Emily has had to have a few amnio-reductions, and in Houston, she underwent an extremely painful procedure where they put a shunt in Lyla's right lung and left lung. The shunts have worked very well. However, we don't know how much damage is done to her lungs, and we will not know how long it will be before she can breath on her own.

Emily has been to hospitals in DeRidder, Lake Charles, Baton Rouge, and Houston. Emily hasn't been able to work because of the pain, and Jacob hasn't been able to work as much because of all the appointments and procedures. I am asking for your help, if you can, to get them through this extremely difficult time.

Thank all of you for your prayers and kind words.
