I'm happy to report that our friends and family in the area have been godsends throughout all this. We have a well-organized cadre of meal-bringers scheduled six weeks out, and for the moment, my mom is here helping out. I'll try not to be too stubborn about asking for babysitting help when we need it. :)<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/><BR/>EmEmiliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18186651382354924497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415762.post-33834391506997961932007-09-15T12:50:00.000-05:002007-09-15T12:50:00.000-05:00IF YOU LOVE EMILIE AND LIVE NEARBY please don't of...IF YOU LOVE EMILIE AND LIVE NEARBY please don't offer a vague "call me if you need anything." She's in the early stages of this ordeal. She may need you to go over there with a casserole or a load of supplies or movie tickets & babysitting without being asked. She's recovering from/enduring a physical and mental trauma plus being very pregnant. She and Steve may not have the energy or wits to ask for help when they most need it. And you know how stubborn and independent she can be (thank the Lord -- it's what's gotten her this far). The Lemmon family has to redefine normalcy and they need your hands-on support. DON'T WAIT TO BE ASKED, even if family members are helping (they may need help, too). I write from experience.<BR/><BR/>--thank you for loving them, MDM in MSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415762.post-21911253824702002972007-09-14T20:29:00.000-05:002007-09-14T20:29:00.000-05:00I am so glad you are home and doing well:) I love...I am so glad you are home and doing well:) I love the picture of Daniel and Daddy:) Keep resting and good luck with the NT scan.Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07527200509005559273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415762.post-80320861178748071492007-09-14T19:53:00.000-05:002007-09-14T19:53:00.000-05:00Oh Em, I'm so glad to hear you are home sweet home...Oh Em, I'm so glad to hear you are home sweet home!

Not only the general feelings that go along with the "c" word, but also the fact that you went from ordinary life, then suddenly to the combination of terror and excitement of the hospital (excitement including lots of attention), then a "let down" as you come back home and have to face "daily life" again, this time with a new set of baggage. BTW the doc seems nice.<BR/><BR/>You'll survive.<BR/><BR/>- SusanneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415762.post-25956522594083263282007-09-14T10:16:00.000-05:002007-09-14T10:16:00.000-05:00Welcome home, Emilie!!I'm thrilled for you!
