I Love You
Only a week after her Fontan, Mary Clare’s best heart friend sends her love! This is Emerson sending an “I Love You” to Mary Clare through a text message. Her mom, Erica, and I have been friends since these two were in the womb when we first learned of their special hearts. Walking down this difficult path has been made so much more bearable knowing we have each other. Sweet Emerson had her surgery at MUSC last week, spent the week in Pediatric Cardiology Intensive Care Unit (PCICU) and is now in the step-down cardiology pediatric recovery unit, 7-C. She is on a no-fat diet and is playing the waiting game. For the Fontan surgery, drainage can be a huge issue, and, typically, it’s what keeps these heart kiddos in the hospital for such a long time. She has done well so far, but I know it’s such an emotional roller coaster. Please keep sweet Emerson and her family in your prayers.
Mother to mother, we have shared the journey, cardiologists, hospitals and stories of our two little sassy girls. We’ve been at every birthday party and have kept in touch for four years now. Most importantly, we share a strong faith in God. The same God that brought us together and the same God who blessed us with Emerson and Mary Clare.

Emerson and Mary Clare are my inspiration-these brave little girls have been through more than most adults I know.
God has blessed us with both of these precious little miracles and their wonderful families.
I have been to Emerson’s birthdays and I am thankful I’ve had the priviledge to know her and her wonderful family.
Love to you, Emerson and your family. You are in my heart and in my prayers. Get well soon.

Ok, I am crying! I can’t tell you what your friendship means to me! We have made it through these first few years together and we will be there for each other for many, many more! We are praying to be home by Halloween! Love to you all!
