Hey Everyone! Greg and Johnny here. Em's taking a quick snooze after a very long day and exciting SLU basketball game so were just gonna give a quick update on her day.
Em's day started when she woke up at 5 a.m. with tightness in her chest and difficulty breathing. The doctors took every precaution and gave Em an X-ray, a standing X-ray, a CT scan of lungs, and an EKG done throughout the day to make sure everything is alright. Even though Em was feeling pretty crappy, the results came back positive. All the testing aside, Emily was still having a pretty rough day and hasn't gotten good sleep since she first woke up at 5 a.m.
Despite all of this, our girl battled through the day. As the evening rolled around, some visitors came over to cheer for the Bills alongside Emily. M50 room 4 was packed for the SLU game...Those in company were Mr. Evans, Mackenzie, Joe, Mark, Jackie, Johnny, Greg and Emily. SLU played a great game and fought hard, dedicating the game to Em. It was tied at 23 at halftime, with both teams competing hard for the W. In the end the Billikens came together and got the big W to advance to the round of 32 facing the winner of the Michigan St./ LIU Bklynn game. Shout out to the whole Billikens team on the huge win! Emily was so happy for her Bills that it brought tears to her eyes. She missed being out there with the cheerleading squad but is so happy for her girls out there. Every time the camera showed the SLU cheerleaders Em would shout out "Those are my girls!" and proceed by naming them all off. She's so proud to be a Billiken and was ecstatic to see SLU win. Her goal is to meet her teammates on Sunday in Columbus! After the game Emily looked at us and said "The Bills did their part now I have to do mine." Em's positive attitude never ceases to amaze and motivate me and everyone else who knows her. As the night wraps up, Emily is feeling better and about to go to sleep pretty soon. The day started out rough, but has turned for the better. Tomorrow is a new day, which will present new opportunities for all of us. Let's all go to bed with a smile on our faces, appreciating all the blessings in our lives, waking up tomorrow remembering you gotta keep your head up.
Much Love,
Greg and Johnny
