Please say a quick prayer…

A dear friend of mine is sitting in the PC-ICU at MUSC at this very moment going through exactly what we went through only 8 weeks ago. We became friends as she discovered her daughter has HLHS and a mutual friend connected us. She is from Augusta and traveled to MUSC to have her daughter and have the same doctor operate on little Emerson.

We were so blessed to have each other to lean on throughout our pregnancies and I can only hope that I have somewhat helped her as she is going through this trying time in the hospital. It is something that no one can prepare you for, but knowing someone has also been in your place helps.

Little Emerson is out of surgery and seems to be doing well at this time. The next 48 hours are very crucial.

At times it is difficult for me to talk to her and read her blog because I know exactly what she is talking about and exactly what she is going through. It takes me right back there and only reminds me that Mary Clare will be there again in December. Please continue to pray for us and little Emerson. This is such a difficult diagnosis and we aren’t the only parents going through it.

We know one day our little Mary Clare and Emerson will be great friends. We can’t wait for them to meet!
