When Emmett was born his right arm was injured during the trauma of his birth. The doctors were worried that there was severe nerve damage. As the bruises have healed, he has started to show movement and is slowly rebuilding strength in that arm. The fact that he is moving his arm around so much in this video is so symbolic for how far he has come. He continues to amaze all of us and overcome all obstacles. Emmett continues to remind all of us that it's the little things in life that we take for granted, but mean the most.
Go Emmett Go!!!
The doctors have told Ryan and Kirby that the biggest goal for Emmett
is to experience Skin to skin with his parents every day.
My advice for Kirby was to enjoy this time. I wish my kids were ordered to 'snuggle' with their mamma. Before they know it, Emmett will be too big for this kangaroo hold and one on one cuddle time.
Although Ryan and Kirby
would rather have Emmett home with them, they are soaking in every moment they have with their little boy all while trying to manage things at home. They both are doing an amazing job under these circumstances.
Continue to pray that Emmett remains infection free, and that he continues to tolerate his feeds. The next countdown is in about a week when Emmett
will be able to attempt to bottle.
