<br />
She is amazing! She turned 5 in December and thinks she really is a big girl now! She is a great big sister, loves to play pretend everything, is enjoying her gymnastics lessons, and getting ready for kindergarten in the fall. <br />
<br />
(Speaking of, who knew how hard a decision it is to pick a school for your child! I will be so glad when August is here and the decision is made.)<br />

They were able to activate 8 electrodes which is exactly what we hoped for! She seemed to tolerate it well and even responded to "ah" and "ba-ba-ba" which she has never done on that side before. It will definitely be a long road and it may continue to be challenging because of her ossification, but we are excited to get the process started! We took a great video, but the file is really large, so we need to edit it before trying to upload. Hope to get that up soon.<br />
<br />
In other news, it looks like Emmalyn will be having her second CI surgery pretty soon. We did another test on her left ear today and her hearing has continued to decline in that ear. We are a little concerned that she is losing the hearing she has because that ear is also ossifying, so we want to get the implant in as soon as possible.<br />

Then we headed back to the surgery prep room and she started to get hungry after many hours of no eating. The sweet nurses tried to distract her with a ride around the halls.</div>

Emmalyn did OK during surgery, but there were some unexpected complications. The surgeon discovered that her cochlea had ossified, which basically means it was becoming solid bone growth. This made it difficult to place the internal portion of the implant. Until her activation date, we won't really know how many electrodes we will be able to activate. We are hoping for at least 8. Ossification is something that is normally seen in children after they have experienced hearing loss caused by meningitis. Emmalyn has never had meningitis, so the ossification was very unusual and unexpected. After surgery they kept her in recovery for a while and then we were finally released to go home. Sweet baby did not feel very well and was still very drowsy from anesthesia and pain medication.</div>

How true is that statement? There are so many things we do each day as parents. We make sure to feed and bathe our children. We provide them with shelter and love. We help them with their homework and encourage them when they are having a bad day. We clean the house, do the dishes and the laundry, take care of the pets, pay the bills, get the oil changed in the car, and the list goes on and on.</span><br />

As a mom, I think that usually comes with the territory.</b> My youngest daughter, Emmalyn, will soon be 5 months old. The day after she was born, testing showed that she has profound hearing loss. There were so many times in those first weeks when we were following through with more testing to confirm her diagnosis that I wondered what could have caused it and what we could do to fix it.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #595959; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.33; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 8px; vertical-align: baseline;">
As her diagnosis was confirmed, my husband and I came to realize that while this isn’t something we would choose for our daughter, her hearing loss is not life threatening. There are treatment options available for her. Now, at almost 5 months of age, she is already wearing hearing aids and is in therapy. Doctors tell us that she should progress at a normal rate of development because her hearing loss was found at such an early age.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #595959; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.33; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 8px; vertical-align: baseline;">
We are blessed. <b style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">And more than that, we realize that God knew everything about our sweet Emmalyn long before we did. We are learning to give our fears and worry up to Him.</b></div>

Our oldest daughter, Lilliana, is 4 years old. For the first time this week, she asked me, “Mom, why can’t Emmalyn hear?” and I told her, “That’s the way God made Emmalyn.” Her response? “Mom, I’m going to pray and ask Jesus to let Emmalyn hear.” Her faith blows me away. <b style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">As parents we need to remember that our God can do anything He wants to do. We need to trust Him and let Him take care of those things we think are impossible.</b></div>

Eight weeks and five screenings later we finally had a diagnostic hearing test done and her hearing loss was confirmed. Emmalyn has very minimal hearing in her left ear and basically no usable hearing in her right ear. Last Friday was an amazing day. Emmalyn received her first set of hearing aids. For the very first time Emmalyn heard her Mommy and Daddy's voices. And we were able to catch her reaction on video.<br />

Emmalyn sure has grown this month! And has started making the cutest expressions. We went to the doctor on Thursday and she was 9 lbs, 14 oz and was 22.5 inches long! She is definitely on track to be a tall, lean girl just like her big sister. She is still eating between 2-4 ounces every 3 hours or so. She sleeps well, but wakes frequently :) We are hoping she will start sleeping a little longer at night now that I have gone back to work. But most nights it's not too bad.</div>

I can't believe it but Emmalyn Elise is a month old today! She is a great baby! She weighs about 8 pounds and is about 21 inches long. I think she is going to be tall and skinny like her sister. Em usually eats 3 ounces about every three hours and is getting up two to three times during the night. Really the only time she is fussy is when she wants to eat. I witnessed her first real smile yesterday. I was on the phone with Chris and I put him on speaker. He told Em hello and she lit up and got a huge grin on her face! It was so sweet! And can I tell you? This girl has an amazing big sister. We are so blessed with these two beautiful girls!</div>

<br />
Lilli: Mommy, I don't know what I'm getting you yet for Christmas. I'm getting Daddy a new computer.<br />
<br />
Me: You are?<br />
<br />
Lilli: Yep, a blue one, not a white one.<br />
<br />
Me: Who's going to pay for that.<br />
<br />
Lilli: I don't know, but they are. And when they buy it, I'm going to download it.<br />
<br />
Me: Oh really? Baby what does download mean?<br />
<br />
Lilli: It's when they put it all in a package. I'm going to get it for Daddy and then download it!<br />
<br />
Me: OK baby. <laughing inside and wishing I had recorded this conversation> I know your Daddy will love it!Nancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10982934801780494678noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054347590267027609.post-65560691994550648692011-11-16T20:47:00.001-06:002011-11-16T20:48:26.407-06:00Introducing....Emmalyn Elise Cornwell<br />

<div>
We are so excited to announce that we are expecting a new addition this Spring!!! (And yes, baby #2 definitely showed a lot faster than baby #1. Chris is convinced there are two in there, but I have had 2 ultrasounds to prove him otherwise.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This has definitely not been the plan for the last two years, but we knew we really wanted to have another biological child. It wasn't a quick and easy process with Lilli, so when the "great slow down" with the adoption happened, we decided to leave it up to God as to which child would join our family next. Two months later we were pregnant. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We have made the very difficult decision to leave Gladney (current process requires that we go on hold until the new baby is 6 months old or terminate our contract). This was not easy. We still feel like adoption is God's plan for our family. Once the baby is born, we will start looking into different adoption options that will be open to us because we are older than we were when we started the Ethiopian process and because God has opened our hearts to different avenues of adoption we weren't previously open to. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I will still be following each and every one of your family's adoption stories. I can't wait to hear about all of your great news!! Since our adoption process is on hold, I will probably start our family blog back up, but more to come on that later. Thank you for all of the support you've given us over the last two years! It means more than you could ever know.</div>

She has watched Lilli, who lovingly refers to her as Nana, since she was just 6 weeks old. Do the math, that makes about 3.5 years. About a year and a half ago, she decided her days weren't crazy enough chasing around my busy toddler so she started a quilt ministry at her church. She and a group of friends get together and sew (and continue to sew individually) to make quilts to give to people who have been diagnosed with illness, injured in an accident, etc.</div><div><br /></div><div>Recently her quilt ministry became more important than ever. You see, about a month ago my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, and her sweet, sweet friends in the ministry made her a quilt last week. Would you hop over to my <a href="http://confessionsofafabricaddict.blogspot.com/2011/07/some-changes-in-air.html">mom's blog</a>, see the gorgeous quilt they made her, and leave her a message of encouragement?</div><div><br /></div><div>Mom started chemo yesterday and so far she is doing well. She will continue through chemo for about 18 weeks and then have surgery and radiation. My baby Lilli, who isn't really a baby anymore, will be starting preschool in just a couple of weeks. Lots of changes for all of us. </div><div><br /></div><div>Would you say a prayer for my mom, Lilli, and our family? That Mom will continue to feel good through her treatments and that those treatments will work to rid her body of cancer. That Lilli will love her new school and handle the transition well.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><i>Mom - if you made it this far - know that I love you very much. You are the strongest, most independent, headstrong woman I know. And while those traits may drive me crazy sometimes, I know for a fact that those traits were given to you for times like these. The next year will hold its challenges but we will face them together as a family with God by our side.
