Moving Day!

Hip Hip Hooray! and Alleluia! It's finally here. Moving day. Of course, like everything else with Courtney it has to be hair raising - we're looking to leave around 10:30 to beat the snow storm.

She is watched and primped from head to toe. We'll not need the aviator glasses but we do have a hat, long pants and they promise me the ambulance will be warmed up so she's not cold.

The ambulance company has made an exception and is allowing me to ride in the back of the ambulance with Courtney. I would have strapped myself to the roof if necessary!

I am overwhelmed with emotion at the moment - happy to be going on to this next step where I know the staff will expect so much from her. Sad to leave the comfort and familiarity of people we have gotten to know well and in whom we have the greatest confidence.

33 days ago we didn't know if we would ever see this day so we can say that God is good.
He has saved our little Courtney's life. Restored her lungs and preserved her body beautifully.
God's last task is to restore her brain to normal function. I pray for the skill of those who will help along the way at Braintree and that God will continue to work his miracles and bring Courtney back to us.

As soon as I have Courtney's schedule and visiting hours I will post them. Look at the previous blog for the address of Braintree Rehabilitation Hospital in Braintree.

I could never say or get tired of saying thank you for your prayers and support. I humbly ask you to continue your prayers. Nurses here at TICU tell Courtney everyday that she will be 'our Christmas miracle'.

To quote from another Christmas special that surely Courtney has watched a million times... Courtney this one's for you now [que Santa Claus Is Coming To Town]:
Put one foot in front of the other;
And soon you’ll be walking cross the floor;
Put one foot in front of the other;
And soon you’ll be walking out the door!!!
Best wishes Courtney.. .you'll be there soon! Love from Emma's Aunt Maureen
