After an extended absence on Emma's Caringbridge site, I thought it may be a good time to add another entry. Emma is having surgery today at Children's Hospital Oakland. She is having a femoral osteotomy (hip surgery). Her surgery is scheduled for 1:30pm. She should be out from surgery after about 3.5 hours. The same doctor who did her surgery for her back (due to severe scoliosis 2 years ago) will be performing her surgery today.

Emma is now nearly 18 years old. She attends the local high school where she is in the Special Education classroom and also enjoys singing in the school choir. She is a wonderful young woman of whom we are very proud.
