God is so good! We made it! Erma did it! She is so brave and fearless. We have learned more from her during this transplant than we ever imagined, and we are beyond proud to be her parents.

She did have to get another NG tube replacement, and watching her strength in that moment wrecked us in the best way. She takes deep breaths, closes her eyes, holds her necklace, and whispers to herself, “I trust Jesus.”

What a precious reminder that really, that’s all we can do, trust Jesus.

Now we get to head back to St. Jude housing, cuddle up with Johnny boy, and hunker down to heal together (physically and emotionally )

Please continue to pray BIG prayers through the weekend that she keeps her NG tube down and has zero complications.
