Well little miss Emmalee is throwing the doctors for some loops. We are asking you all to be praying for a miracle for our little girl. This morning she was doing good. Had stayed stable throughout the night. They wanted to run some tests on her this afternoon and clean up her chest again and then do an echo so we took off for a bit for them to do that. Well we got back and they gave us the result. The head EEG showed them signs that there may be head trauma. There was brain function but some of it seem sporadic and not quite what they wanted. Then with her heart the ECHO showed that she has a clot in her right ventricle that could still dissolve and break up but they don't know exactly where it would go. She also has a valve that is leaking and they don't like the looks of that. The cleaning of her chest went good and they are still taking some of the fluid off her body. So right now we are going to just see how the next two days go and let God be in control. The doctors had talked to us about whether or not it's time to let go but they also said that we could give it a couple of days here and see what she does and so that's the road we are going down. Just pray for our little girl that when they go back in and see her that they will be shocked and amazed as to her progress. We can't say it enough...God is good all the time. He knows His plans for our little girl and we have to be okay with whatever they are. We are just praying that He heals her completely and that her brain will function normally and that her heart would be healed. Thank you all for lifting her up in prayers tonight.
Love
Jon, Ali, and our little fighter Emmalee

I am hurting along with you. Know that i love you guys soooo very much, and I'm praying for Emmalee, you guys, and the rest of the family.
Ali and Jon,
May your faith, and the faith of your family and friends give you strength during this time of pain and uncertainty. While driving home tonight (after hearing your news) the verse from Philippians 1 kept coming to mind - "For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.". I wish we could be with you and give you hugs of love and encouragement. We miss you. God be with you and with EmmaLee.
Love, Uncle Lee

Hi. You don't know me, but I went to OWU with Chris and Rachel and Andrea Swarthout, and I wanted you to know that my family and our friends in Bartlesville, OK are praying for your family and precious little Emma. Your faith during this difficult time is a strong witness to those around you. God bless you all.

You're blessed when you stay on course, walking steadily on the road revealed by God. You're blessed when you follow his directions, doing your best to find him. Psalm 119:1-2
God can do anything, you know - far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams. He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us. Ephesians 3:20
I am so thankful that you two live your lives by these verses! May they be an encouragement to you as you seek His face!
Love you a ton and praying for Emma!

Jon, Ali and Emmalee,
We love you all more than we can ever say. We will continue praying for all three of you. Everytime I think of all the ups and downs that have happened over the last 12 days, I think of the Casting Crowns song, "Praise You In This Storm." You have shown such strength and total trust in God throughout all you and Emmalee have been through! We love you all and are here for you.
Love and Hugs,
Chris , Matt, Ella and Jack
We are praying for you all.
Love,
Barry, Sue, and Jeremiah

Ali,
I am praying for you and have shed many tears with you. As a new mom myself I can relate to all your "mom" feelings! Know that I am praying so hard for you little girl and that I too love her! All babies are a precious gift from God. Stay strong. Know that God holds us up when we are weak and he draws near to the broken hearted!
Love
