WOW. Thank you everyone so much for the overwhelming response. I wasn't expecting so many comments and support. Its nice to know Emmie is inspiring people already.
There have been a lot of people asking how they can help by raising money etc. As the comments were coming in suggesting it I was worried it would seem weird.
Since there seems to be so much interest in this cause and our story I am looking into ways we can put this to good and raise money for not only Emmies genetic testing but for the Walsh Labs research into these brain malformations. Eventually I'd love to help other families that can't afford the trip to Boston to meet with Doctors at the top of their field or the genetic testing that insurance does not cover.
Emmie is extremely lucky to be making such great progress and I know there are so many other families out there struggling in a much bigger way. All kids deserve the same chance at great care!
Ill keep you all posted....
