Emy Girl

I love this girl.....

She's at the Emergency Room right now watching Shrek while they wait for her blood work and x-rays to come back and I'm at home with a sleeping Brinley writing a post as an attempt to keep my heart from beating too quickly and my mind from racing too fast.

You see, we've been to the ER before and we'll more than likely be there again and I'm usually a calm cucumber, but this time I saw how much pain she was in as Chad carried her out the front door and how she was calling out for "Mommy" and my heart was breaking: ( Oh, these kind of moments....too intense.

I think this time my heart is racing more because I'm not there with her, and I don't quite understand what it was that was causing her so much pain. I think it's the unknown-ness of what's going on that's got me all worried.

This afternoon after church she played in the snow with Chad for a while then came inside and ate. But after a while she started saying her hip hurt and she was limping around. At first she was kind of "ouch" laughing at the pain...if that makes sense. I can't think of what to compare that too, but I know I've done it lots of times, just laugh through something that's kind of painful. Then she started wanting me to carry her places instead of walking herself. Eventually she just wanted to sit on the couch and not be touched or moved at all. And then she was crying out in pain with any little movement. I knew it was pretty bad, because if any of you know Emyri, she is not one to just sit still. She is always, always, always on the go, even when she's sick. We knew she was in too much pain and we couldn't understand it, so Chad ran her up to the hospital.

She didn't want to have to go to the doctor. In an attempt to not go, she even told us, "I think I can walk now." but once she even started to move to get off the couch she cried out in pain and went back to sitting still: ( I feel so bad for her.

I have no idea what's going on. She hasn't fallen or been bumped. At first we thought maybe she pulled a muscle, but when it just kept getting worse and worse that didn't seem like a normal muscle pull. I got a hip infection when I was five, but I was sick before that and the infection settled in my hip, and she hasn't been sick.

So Chad texted and said they've done x-rays and blood work and now they're just waiting for the results. Waiting very motionlessly.

Until I get a phone call, I guess I'll post a bunch of pictures of the little sweetheart, because this really is helping my heart stay in my chest......: )

This is me so happy and excited to be a mommy and to finally meet Emyri.....but soooo out of it! haha. I could barely keep my eyes open: )

This one makes me laugh! ha. She was really quiet that first day....and just stared at us with her eyes wide open like, "Wow, what the heck is going on here!" And yes, that is Chad holding our new born child upright with only one hand. We were newbs: )
