She especially enjoyed the love she saw there and often expressed this joy with God. One day however the little soul was sad, for on this day she saw suffering in the world. She approached God and sadly asked, "Why do bad things happen; why is there suffering in the world?"</div> <bR> <div> God paused for a moment and replied, "Little soul, do not be sad, for the suffering you see, unlocks the love in people’s hearts." The little soul was confused. "What do you mean," she asked." God replied, "Have you not noticed the goodness and love that is the offspring of that suffering? Look at how people come together, drop their differences and show their love and compassion for those who suffer. All their other motivations disappear and they become motivated by love alone." </div> <bR> <div> The little soul began to understand and listened attentively as God continued, "The suffering soul unlocks the love in people’s hearts much like the sun and the rain unlock the flower within the seed. I created everyone with endless love in their heart, but unfortunately most people keep it locked up and hardly share it with anyone. They are afraid to let their love shine freely, because they are afraid of being hurt. But a suffering soul unlocks that love. I tell you this - it is the greatest miracle of all. Many souls have bravely chosen to go into the world and suffer - to unlock this love – to create this miracle - for the good of all humanity." </div> <bR> <div> Just then the little soul got a wonderful idea and could hardly contain herself. With her wings fluttering, bouncing up and down, the little soul excitedly replied, "I am brave; let me go! I would like to go into the world and suffer so that I can unlock the goodness and love in people’s hearts! I want to create that miracle!" God smiled and said, "You are a brave soul I know, and thus I will grant your request.</div> <bR> <div> But even though you are very brave you will not be able to do this alone. I have known since the beginning of time that you would ask for this and so I have carefully selected many souls to care for you on your journey. Those souls will help you create your miracle; however they will also share in your suffering. Some of these souls are most special and will care for you, help you and suffer along with you, far beyond the others. They have already chosen a name for you........<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#CC33CC" FACE="Arial" >EMMIE</FONT>."</div> <bR> <div> God and the brave little soul shared a smile, and then embraced. In parting, God said, "Do not forget little soul that I will be with you always. Although you have agreed to bear the pain, you will do so through my strength. And if the time should come when you feel that you have suffered enough, just say the word, think the thought, and you will be brought back to heaven."</div> <bR> <div> <B>    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</B></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="33dc4500.jpg" border=0 width="196" height="336" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000BF" FACE="Arial" ><B> </B></FONT><FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#FF00FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>EMILY GRACE    </B></FONT><FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#FF33CC" FACE="Arial" ><I><B><IMG SRC="3782ce10.jpg" border=0 width="300" height="225" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></I></FONT></div> <bR> <div> <B>Emmie was born in Seoul, Korea, on November 28, 1999. She was cyanotic at birth, causing doctors to fear a heart defect.</B></div> <div> <B>Their fears were confirmed with a diagnosis of Tetralogy of Fallot with Pulmonary Atresia</B></div> <div> <B>and Major Aorta Pulmonary Collateral Arteries.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>She had her first of (so far) 7 open heart surgeries at the age of 3 months, and her second at 11 months, both in Korea.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Emmie's family was all the way across the world in the U.S. when they found Emmie, but God brought them together because Emmie needed a family ... and her family needed her!</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Doctors explained how sick Emmie was, but that only confirmed the fact that she needed a Mommy! </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Emmie arrived in America at the age of 14 months. She was very sick and doctors here began planning to help her.</B></div> <div> <B>She was soon diagnosed with DiGeorge Syndrome, which has 185 known anamolies associated with it, many of which</B></div> <div> <B>Emmie already clearly has, and is the cause of her severe heart defects.</B></div> <div> <B> </B></div> <div> <B>She endured her next open heart surgery at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, at the age of 20 months; others at 23 months,</B></div> <div> <B>26 months, 2 1/2 years, and 2 years 9 months.</B></div> <div> <B>She suffered a cardiac arrest and endocarditis (infection inside her heart) 2 weeks later at the age of 2 years 9 1/2 months,and another heart surgery days after that, to repair that damage.</B></div> <div> <B>During this time, she had a FLAT-LINE EEG! This means NO brain activity!</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Emmie struggled on, as her family and friends prayed, and two months later, just days before her 3rd birthday, she had another surgery hoping to correct what was believed to be severe GI problems.</B></div> <div> <B>During this surgery she also had a G-tube placement, as she can no longer eat or drink from the neurological damage.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The GI surgery proved to be unsuccessful, as the vomiting episodes persisted, and 4 years later, at the age of 7, Emmie was diagnosed with Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome (CVS).</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Due to the constant vomiting, Emmie is often hospitalized for IV fluids, as dehydration causes heart failure, and she must be heavily sedated, putting her into a deep sleep to help limit her suffering.</B></div> <div> <B>The relentless vomiting and wretching has caused her esophogus to tear.</B></div> <div> <B>The vomiting is also dangerous for Emmie because she aspirates, causing her lungs to fill up with fluid.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Emmie now also has several compression fractures in her spine. </B></div> <div> <B>A bone density scan showed that she has severe osteopenia; extremely thin & weak bones.</B></div> <div> <B>Her heart rates & blood pressures from the pain are dangerously high, and we pray they will not cause another cardiac arrest to her already sick heart. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Emmie is now in a body cast  made at A.I. Dupont Hospital for Children, and will remain in the body cast for at least 18 months!</B></div> <div> <B>The body cast is not relieving any of her pain as it should, and </B><B>further testing: spinal taps, ultrasounds, brain MRIs and CT scans, tons of blood work and very strange and sometimes painful tests, have all revealed nothing.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>When Emmie is feeling well, she loves to "eat" and "cook" pretend food, play Barbies, watch Veggie Tales movies, color with her brother and sisters, and beat her mom at Candyland!</B></div> <div> <B>If she's feeling ok, she wears her contageous smile, and even says "thank you" to the IV and Phlebotomy teams after they stick her for blood or an IV.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>She is full of joy, and inspires everyone who has ever met her.
