Ella’s stats are the same – – but not improving. Her bilirubin levels are continuing to increase, so they are running more tests on her liver. They increased the Lasix to try and reduce more of the swelling. Thankfully, they have not seen any more seizure activity since they medicated her at the initial sign of seizures. So, they were going to try and reduce the seizure medication — we hope the seizures will stay away!
This upcoming week with her surgery is a big milestone. Please pray for Ella’s strength and a successful surgery.
Also, her parents are exhausted! Please pray that we will be renewed by His strength. It is so tough to see this sweet little girl connected to all these machines, day after day, with no forward progress.
We know His timing is perfect and that He is in control. Holding onto these truths, and being encouraged and reminded about them by all of you, has been a saving grace. But it has not stopped the emotions from rising to the surface each day!
Lord, help us to trust you even more as we watch the fulfillment of your will unfold for sweet little Ella.
Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

We have faith you will stand the test. Gather the knowledge and love your wonderful daughter. We will fast for her on her surgery date to help our desires realized in Christs name. Love, Aunt Char and Jim

Dear Hearts: I know from experience that these days seem surreal yet poignant. You both have remained so strong and steadfast but all of this takes a toll on your emotions, strength and stamin and He understands that. My prayers are for your renewal in strength and that your rest is pure and resorative – I hold all of three of you in my heart, my arms and my prayers through the night. His infinite love and wisdom are with you – sleep peacefully and awaken refreshed as He knows your needs. Our love and always our prayers, Steve and Joan Odell
