"There is no way I could possibly put into words the infinite reasons and ways Emily has been a priceless blessing from the Lord for our baby girl. At 7 months old, Ivy had to suffer and endure nearly constant excruciating pain for around 8 months before we finally saw true healing rather than just a temporary band-aid fix again and again. Her playful spirit and joyful smiles and giggles back in our precious girl, no longer stuck in so much torturous pain and tears that no little one or mama should ever have to go through. It started with a bad diaper rash that came on instantly with diarrhea and from there just got worse with nearly every stool passed. She had extreme red, raw and inflamed skin all over both private parts, bleeding open sores and cuts that all just continued to spread and worsen each time. I brought her to different doctors numerous times and several specialists going through tons of different treatments, tests, extremely limited and strict diets and routines. In our household of three boys and my husband, I was spending the majority of time trying everything to help make her better and having to hold her down to wipe or clean her while she fought and screamed in pain from how severe this rash was.
Ultimately, nothing worked and none of the doctors or specialists knew what was wrong. We tried everything they could think of and more... I felt defeated, crushed, heartbroken for her and completely drained in every way possible.
Finally, we were referred to Emily. When I reached out to her, she immediately responded, wanting to help and know everything about her story and medical history. She recommended the GI MAP stool test which we had done ASAP. The results came in and Emily developed a very detailed plan to help Ivy heal. Best of all, she connected all the dots that nobody else could! Her genuine concern and commitment to be there for Ivy and I at all times (which was a LOT) was truly something I have never experienced with any other health practitioner. I felt like she cared for Ivy as if it were her own child and it meant EVERYTHING to have her through this. We thank God for sending Emily to us like Ivy's healing Angel."
