entertainment">In an extensive message on Instagram, Jennifer said on Wednesday that little Emily is now doing ‘extremely well’ after 19 injections, two CT scans, complications and recovery days. After spending two weeks in the hospital, the family has returned home. In the meantime, the singer and her husband Robin de Munk are doing everything they can to make the rehabilitation process go as smoothly as possible.
entertainment">“In my previous post I wrote that I kept smiling at Em to give her a sense of security. That became more difficult later on,” Jennifer writes on Instagram on Friday. “After five days of being with Em 24/7, Robin stayed with her and I went back and forth to see Ben (their son, ed.), let go and cry. I noticed that those five days of ‘keeping big’ had to go.”
Panic and fear
entertainment">Because of her daughter’s suffering, Jennifer is unable to enjoy life herself. “I haven’t allowed that since it happened. Because how can I enjoy something if my child can’t enjoy it and is just fighting? Every morning and evening Em had to have a jab in her leg, which gave her total panic.”
entertainment">The panic and fear also turned into anger in Jennifer’s daughter at some point. “Where Em is the softest girl, there was anger now. She was done with it. Forcing your child in such a moment is so heartbreaking. All manner of preparation passed, but the reward cards could be stolen from her.”
‘Honest drink’
entertainment">At shot seventeen, Emily was done with it. “She cried out for the first time, ‘Mama, I hate you!’ I held her and cried with her this time instead of “keeping me big.” She calmed down and we just got together. She asked me why I had to cry and I indicated that I feel sadness when she is sad. That I understand so well that she is sad and angry.”
entertainment">Finally, peace returned when mother and daughter vented their frustrations by throwing a drinking cup, from which Emily had to drink ‘the worst drink’, across the room a few times. “The injections and examinations afterwards were still with tears, but with so much more acceptance and peace. When I think back to it, I find it so special that it is precisely the real emotion that brings so much. You’re the bravest we know, Em.”
