Hi everyone, Emmie again! Here is today's update:

Emily is still doing well and the team are pleased with her current progress, which is very good news to all concerned. She is still heavily sedated although gradually becoming more awake but still on the ventilator, as would be expected at this stage.

There are a few issues that the team are keeping a very close eye on, just to ensure that they do not develop into more major problems. There are usually complications of different sorts as the body tries to adjust to what it has been through and it is important that these are closely monitored for any signs of further problems.

However, as things are currently, I would say that the outlook is cautiously optimistic. The next few days are crucial to her progress and I will update again when there is any particular news to report.

We visited Emily today who is stable and continues to progress well. In the words of her surgeon (who notably came in from his day off to check she wasnt jogging around the ITU) she is doing as well as he could have hoped at this stage.

We must remember that there is still a long, hard road ahead yet.

Her ladyship opened her eyes and smiled again a few times today. We anticipate that the Doctors will allow her greater periods of conscioussness tomorrow. Her family are enjoying reading the BLOG comments and are so grateful for all the good wishes from around the world...so please keep 'em coming.
Best wishes,
Uncle Grunc & S,M & T

Thanks Emmie and Uncle Grunc for the updates. I must admit to switching on to find out as soon as I walked through the door.

Pleased to hear that the progress is steady, yet fully understanding there is a long road ahead, having been there with Lucy.

Please give all of the family our love and best wishes and Lucy sends a big kiss to Emily, who she tells us is going to do just fine!

Take care everyone.

Thank you both for the updates. It is so nice to be able to know how Em is doing without feeling intrusive. Glad to hear she is going on strong. Although, I think we've all learnt to expect this from Em. Lots and lots of love to all the family, and of course to the most wonderful Em.

Great to hear that she's doing well. I think that the CF forum message "Updates on Angel" set up by Emmie is going to break the record for the number of views on one post ever in the history of the internet!!! It shows how much we're all rooting for you, Emily, even those of us (including me) who've never met you.. You really have touched so many hearts. Keep fighting and we'll keep thinking sparkly thoughts, praying and looking forward to hearing more news. Warm best wishes, Katie

It's so good to hear the news of Emily's progress, thanks Emmie & Uncle Grunc!

It brings back so many memories of my own family's experiences when I was in the same boat at Harefield just over 5 years ago - though I wasn't so keen to be jogging round ITU as Em obviously is yay! ;-) :-D

Love & hugs,

I was so excited and nervous when I read the first post on the board that Emily was going into theatre. I couldn't stop crying! I have only spoken to Emily through E-mails but feel as though I know her and what a privalige that is. You are such a special girl! You have got such courage and determination; that is what is going to get you through these days ahead. And all that waiting will be worth it. Does this mean you are going to talk even more than before then? lol I cant wait until you are back on here telling us how great you feel.

Thank you to Emmie for keeping us updated and all my love to Emily's family. You are in our prayers.

God Bless
