Monday September 6th, Emmett had open heart surgery at 13 days old. It was a very stressful day for us and our families. It is hard to have your new born baby go into any kind of surgery, let alone heart surgery. I kept saying prays in my heart the whole day that he will be safe and that the surgeon's will know what will help this little guy of mine. They kept his chest open so that the swelling could go down. When we went back to Emmett's room it was very hard for me to see him with all the tubes and that he was swollen and a dusky color. The nurse was telling us about all the tubes and what they do. I didn't like seeing Emmett like this and was having a hard time standing there. I had to leave and go pump, while I was out by my self I just cried thinking of Emmett laying there. I couldn't go back into Emmett's room for awhile. I was filled with so much emotion, of how he looked and that I was feeling bad that I am his mother and I couldn't go in there and be with my little guy, it hurt me so much.
I am so thankful that my parents and Adam's mom was with us this day and was a big help with support and love. I am so thankful for Ken for watching Morgan on this very stressful day. I am so very thankful for priesthood blessings. I know that Emmett is very blessed and that he is being watched over by our Heavenly Father and other angels.
