From Brian, Katie and Emily
Edited to add: Katie and Brian have created a CarePage for Emily. To find it, go to carepages.com, click on the blue button that says "Visit," and search for Emily12806. You will have to create a log in and password but the process is simple (you may actually have to sign in before you can search). From there you will be able to access updates on her condition and care, as well as see photos and leave messages for the family.
Hoping so much that she is able to get the treatment she needs quickly. She has so many pulling for her! What an amazing thing.

I can't stop thinking about Emily and her parents...I just wish there were more I could do; I really feel drawn to them. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help them more.

If they set up a Caringbridge or CarePages site once they are settled, can you please post it? I would like to continue to follow Emily's story and pray for her specific needs. I think of them often.

My choir all prayed for the Mandells this morning, and one of the members asked if they are looking into St. Jude's. I know someone else already suggested that, but I thought I'd mention it again.

there are times when I wish so badly I was one of those independently wealthy so I could single-handedly help people like Brian and Katie get through their ordeal.
but i am happy to give what i can. what a beautiful little girl....they are all in my thoughts.

I felt so sad when I heard this news because Mr. mandell was my teacher a few years ago. I hope the best for Brian, Katie, and Emily.
