Emily planned to raise the sparrow. She put the bird into a small travel cage and placed it on top of a heating pad. The sparrow was named Joy and it settled down to sleep.
Baby Joy awoke about an hour later, dried and alert. There was some peeping and movement. Joy went back to sleep but did not wake up the next day.
The hopefulness for the sparrow's recovery was not lost. Emily gradually accepted the loss of Jade and channeled her interest in avian healthcare into learning about the work of Dr. Branson Ritchie at the University of Georgia. Emily followed his work on developing a vaccine against avian AIDS and contributed to the University as her means allowed.
Baby Joy was buried under the rose of Sharon bush that was in the parking lot of St. Frances at that time.
