Hey Josh and Tina. Eli fwd your email to me and I’ve been checking in periodically to see how your precious little one is doing. I’ve also been praying for you and Ella. We just had a baby girl last year. She is 13 months so your story hits very close to home as I am reminded how precious and delicate these little lives are. They are such a gift lent to us for just a little while before God gets them back. Thank you for sharing your story, you are a source of encouragement and I will continue to pray God will give you strength to fight this battle and be the best parents you can be to this darling, amazing little girl.
God bless,
Pam

Lord Bless all of you and your caregivers. I pray that TIna is doing better. How much does Ella weigh? So glad she has such strength in those tiny hands – she knows you and Tina. What a doll – Steve and Joan

Hi my friends! Just wanted to let you know that we are thinking of you and praying for you all the time. I’m sorry I haven’t been posting, I guess I’m not much of a public speaker! I wish we could be there to hug you! Thanks for all of the updates. You three are very precious to us and we pray that we will be able to meet Ella agente (I mean Renae!) soon! :o) Love you guys!

God said “I will hold your hand and help you.” Isaiah 41:13 – Josh and Tina my heart goes out to you and Ella. I wish so much that I could comfort or hold you or just take one ounce of this from your shoulders for a resting period for you. God can only do this and I pray that He continues to guide you and Dr. Kays and that Ella becomes a beautiful testimony to His Love. Love to all – Heidi

Hello, Josh & Tina! We are fellow former Biolans and saw a posting about your story on the Server of Companions. We’ve been praying for you guys for the last couple of months and check your site each morning and evening to hear the latest news about little Ella. What a precious baby! As first-time parents to a 7-month old baby girl ourselves, your story really touches us in a special way. Each day we pray for Ella that God would work His mighty miracle-working power into her little body so that she would not only survive, but thrive! We are praying for her upcoming surgery and that God gives Ella, her parents, and the doctor His extra measure of grace right during her hour of need and that all goes smoothly. Her precious life is already a testimony and you all are being interceded for by the many prayers of the saints! His love and ours, Billy & Christy Brown 8^)

Ella, I love your new headband. Talked with your Dad and hope things will be scheduled soon for your surgery. Tina I hope you are feeling a little better. It takes a little while for the medicine to work. I will be waiting for the latest updates. Love, Grandpa

Awww, I love her new headband. So good to see that she has remained stable and is holding tight to your finger :). You all stay strong, we’re pulling for you back in Colorado!

1 Peter 4:12: “Do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you. But to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing.” And verse 19 says: “Let those who suffer … entrust their souls to a faithful Creator. . .”

Thinking of all of you. Please keep us updated and let us know about the ECMO switch and the surgery.

We are waiting as is everyone. This little girl is quite a miracle already. It is evident that God knew which parents could love her so. Our fondest wishes for a successful surgery. lol Aunt Char and Jim
