    That's incredible, Meredith!! I'm so happy for you all! When I think what Emma was like when you first brought her home, compared to now . . . . She is a precious little life, and you have saved her.

    I didn't get a chance to comment on Emma's FABULOUS accomplishment last week. But I'm back to share the joy again! She's just amazing. (Thanks Lynae too--for making "baby" so real!)
