URGENT - PLEASE PRAY!

Hey everyone,
I just received an e-mail from a friend asking for prayer for a precious little girl adopted from China in 2008. Her name is Emme Forbes, and she is either 3 or 4, I'm not sure. I've met her family and they are precious.

Emme had surgery in Memphis yesterday (Sat.) to repair a hole in her stomach. She has been having stomach issues since they adopted her and they weren't sure why. In fact, she was in the hospital in China when they got there to adopt her. My friend said the doctors didn't expect her to make it through the surgery yesterday. They left her stomach open (for some reason) and went back in to close it up, saying they didn't expect her to make it through that surgery either.

My friends (the Jones who adopted their "Eden" from China, too) left early this morning to travel to be with them. I haven't received an update. Please pray for this family, the doctors, and sweet Emme. I know God can heal her little body. I praise Him that she is here receiving the best medical care and not still in that orphanage. To God be the glory for her little life!

Thank you all for praying and I will post an update if/as soon as I get one.
