All Together
Yesterday morning we received the news that we would likely be able to return home that evening! We were very excited and prayed that Emmaus’ next blood test would be our ticket home. The results came back and while they weren’t stellar, we were told that we could go home with a biliblanket. We arrived [...]
Read onLight Therapy Continues
Emmaus is continuing to receive light therapy in Owen Sound. They’ve removed one of the three lamps because his bilirubin levels leveled off over night. He’s been much more responsive today and a lot of fun to watch! We really aren’t sure when we’ll be able to return home because besides the light therapy he [...]
Read onEmmaus’ homecoming postponed
It’s been a busy day with lots of ups and downs. Just like yesterday, we started to pack up to go home when everything changed. They noticed that his body was beginning to look quite jaundiced. This is fairly common in babies after the first few days but not in the first [...]
Read onCharles Emmaus Copeland
He is here! There isn’t any internet at the hospital so I’m at a coffee shop making a quick post, we’ll have more info for you when we get home tomorrow.
At 1:30pm today we almost went home because Debra’s labour hadn’t progressed. I actually had the bags packed and had taken her jacket out [...]

Emmaus Updates:
Read onEmmaus at 41 weeks
Today marks week 41 for Debra. We had an ultrasound appointment that we truly thought we’d never have to go to, but there we were! We went up to Owensound for a midwife appointment and Emmaus seems to be just fine right now. The problem is, he just can’t stay in there [...]
Read onCitizenship – Coming Soon!
Last week received a letter from the government of Canada requesting more proof that Debra has legitimate ties to Canada and that it is indeed her permanent home. I don’t believe I disappointed them. I spent the next day calling, faxing and photocopying. The result was a nearly 100 page document of letters, [...]
Read onStill waiting!
Just wanted you all to know we are still here and waiting! Waiting on the Lord to bring the baby boy out to see us! Pray for rest, physically and emotionally and spiritually!! Please also pray for wisdom as some of my family is trying to decide if they should extend their plane tickets!
Read onOverdue!
Well here we are… November 18th! One day passed due. We know that November 17th really is the right date… this was confirmed via ultrasound… they even said he looked big… back when we had our ultrasound in the summer. So here we are. My family all arrived from California yesterday safe and sound! And [...]
Read onWaiting…
Here were are – the eve of the due date. Canaan was four days early and while we know that one never knows what can happen we had a modest expectation that Emmaus would arrive at least a little early. It’s been very hard for Debra to wait as she gets more and more uncomfortable [...]
