Our Story

Let us tell you about a precious little baby and our special prayer for her. Emmalyn Kae Latchford was born premature (no apparent reason, she just decided to make her entrance early) . After a three-day labor she showed her beautiful face to us on July 12, 2009. She started life fighting, being delivered with forceps, having some difficulty breathing, and a low blood sugar count. She was moved into the NIC unit (intensive care for babies) , where she repeatedly endured being stuck with needles to monitor her blood count.

Emmy's 6 month check-up...

Posted on January 24, 2010 by Kristen & Elmer Latchford

Emmalyn had her 6 month well baby check up on Tuesday, Jan. 19th. She is 17lbs 3oz. in the 75th percentile for her height and weight she is doing very well. 


Growth and hormone issues are something that is often associated with ONH,  So the fact that she is growing so well is a great sign and a very big blessing. We also scheduled her MRI, this will confirm whether she has just ONH or ONH and SOD (Septo optic dysplasia). Because she is only 6 months old and does not know how to "be still" they will have to sedate her, as a Mother I am very nervous about that part but I know she is in the Lords hands!

On the bright side her Pediatrician is very happy about how well she is progressing.  She is also very excited for us to take Emmy to China and see how well the stem cells work for her!

So glad to see the site up! I'm so excited to see what God has planned in all this. Emmy is going to touch so many lives before she even turns 1!! That's exciting!

My goodness, we just saw the article about Emmy on-line and followed the link to the blog. We had heard about the birth of your sweet little girl, but had no idea about the challenges which were facing you. Our hearts and prayers go out - unending - for you and your dear baby. Bari had a great idea about a fundraiser for you. Please drop us an email and we will sort out details.
Our prayers for your family-
Bari and Louann
