We will be praying for her fluid levels to reduce (at the right pace) all day long. All the kids just got in a circle (held hands) and prayed to God to help with her fluids.
Much love,
Megan, Richard, Claire and Ryan

So sorry to hear sweet Ella had such a rough night. Our family is praying for yours and will lift Ella up during our day, especially praying for a good outcome from inserting the chest tube. Praise the Lord that Gramma arrived safely. Go Ella!! Go God!!

Hang in there, the ups and downs can be devistating, but God is so big. Don’t forget to cry. My Josh was very good about reminding me that being weak at the feet of our Lord was a great place to be. We are praying and we love you guys (and we wish we could come to florida to visit, too)

Oh Dear Hearts, We are thankful for the positive steps in her journey and know this will be a little hiccup that she will overcome. Very happy that Grandma is there now. This is good support for the two of you and another ‘on site’ support for Sweet Ella. Our prayers continue for her to reach the balance her little body needs with the new tube inserted. Love and hugs – Steve and Joan

Thank you so much for taking the time to post updates. My three year old, Abby, is even praying for Ella. She has noticed me checking the internet and asked what I was doing. I showed her Ella’s pictures and she said “I’m praying for that baby too!”

We are continuing to pray for Ella and hope for the best with the fluids and the insertion of the chest tube. Also, thank you for remembering Jordan. Keep the faith! We know you will. Love and prayers, Mary Lou

Once more we thank you for your willingness to share Ella with us. We want you to know we are proud of you and your courageous battle. Give Ella Strength to carry on. We are praying for a better day tomorrow. Bless Dr. Kays to have undaunted skill. As always, Aunt Char and Jim

Sweet Ella, prayers are with you for a better day and for your fluids to reach the levels they need to be. And for the skills of Dr. Kays and Staff.
Josh and Tina, you are both so strong. Know that your faith will bring you through!

Tina & Josh, We continue to pray for you and Ella–and for Dr. Kays and his staff. I’m glad your Mom is with you–I am sure it is conforting to have her there. Tell her we said “Hi.”
Love, Daphne & Ron

The posting and updates you are doing are amazing. I wake up to check on Ella every morning and love my bedtime update. It helps me to know what to pray about and keeps her in my thoughts and prayers daily. One question: What is the bandage across her forehead for?
We will be praying for her and know that God will continue to give her strength. Glad you have Mom support there now. It will be nice to have some company.
Love,
The Chambers’ Family

Praying for precious little Ella. The roller coaster of healing is a tough journey, but I am so thankful that our Lord is your strength! We are praying for continued strength for you both and for total healing for your daughter.

Looks like my day for seconds – I’ll second Joanna’s excellent advice not to forget to cry – I know you know this but tears don’t lessen your amazing courage or faith one bit – just reinforces your/our utter dependence on Someone so much bigger than we are and in complete control. Being so helpless and far away we rest in the fact that all three of you are in His hands and rejoice that Grandma is able to be there with you. We love you.

Hang in there Josh and Tina….the valleys are rough but they help make the mountain tops that much sweeter! In our weakness He is made strong…continue to cling to His promises. Luke’s prayer today was for Baby Ella’s Mommy and Daddy not to be scared…out of the mouths of babes! We continue to pray for rest and healing for Ella…for peace and stregth for both of you, and for wisdom for Dr. Kays and staff. I’m so glad to hear Grandma is there with you…lean on each other and on the One who sustains us all!

We are praying for your little fighter…I know all too well what it is like to wait for our Lord to heal our NICU miracles…If you EVER need an ear to listen from someone who has walked in your shoes please email [email protected]
Praying for you and your husband too.
