Day 7





Emily woke up happier and more at ease with things today. She decided to have a patient contest in the hospital. The child life specialist thought this was a great idea and thanked her for thinking of it! There is going to be a wall where they are going to display all of the patients artwork for people to see. She is so excited!
Emily had a great time teasing and playing with Megan Gazaway this morning. It was fun to see her in such great spirits. The Jones came up and played for a while too. They had a great time playing webkins on the computer.

Emily enjoyed working on school stuff her teacher brought up yesterday. I think it makes her feel more like she is in school like all of the other kids. She likes being a 1st grader!

It was fun to see her smiling and having fun with friends. This is really what she needs to heal. She talked to her friend Kaleb and her cousins, Justin and Gracie on the phone.(It is so cute to hear their conversations!) I was so proud of her to see her with a smile on her face when her friends came in the room. She didn't even shy away at all. I think it put them more at ease too. Sister Holladay, She is letting her light shine!

I can think of no greater honor to Emily if we all found a way to let our lights shine, just a little brighter. I'll leave some paper candles in Emily's room and if you follow Emily's example by letting your light so shine, she can write your name on a candle and put it on her wall. Just leave a comment on this blog so she knows whose names to write.
