Good to hear it’s over…tough part for Ella is her recovery, but she’s done it before! I was feeding the kids a late lunch and was sorry to have forgotten to say a prayer at 11:45 but then I realized she’s in a different time zone now from her surgeries in Gainesville, so it was all good…God had her covered with prayers even with time zone changes and a busy mommy-brain : ) Ruth for all.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Our little angle is a trooper. Thanks for the update. Now we will all be praying for a speedy recovery and the Bun will feel much better.

Ella today I went and said hi to your parents they both gave me big hugs and I realized that God sure knows what he is doing. He picked the perfect parents for you and he picked the perfect little girl for them. Now it is your turn to rest and let your parents strength along with those angels that are around you and God get you thru this. Let that little body heal and remember you are in everyone’s thoughts and prayers!
Tammy on September 3rd, 2008 at 7:52 pm #
Rest well sweet Ella; mom and dad too.
You’ve had a rough few weeks, but you climbed the ladder and now it’s time to jump on that slide!!
The lord is so awsome….”nothing compares to the love we have in him”!
Blessings,
Tammy
