Since we met with Dr. Kays yesterday afternoon, the ECMO machine was reduced to 120 (we have been reducing in increments of 20, starting at 220). Ella is continuing to fight and her stats have remained stable despite the turn down in the ECMO machine. She is doing well.
Also, the seizure medication that they have placed her on is doing its job. She has not had any since they placed her on the meds.
Going to visit her is tough, but at the same time, is so good for the soul. She is sooo cute and has such a sweet spirit. She deals with the wires and discomfort like a champ.
We love her so much. Please pray that she continues to remain stable and gain strength. We would like to see her ready to have surgery this upcoming week.
Dear friends and family,
On Monday, April 2nd, 2007, we went for our 20 week ultrasound and found out that we were having a baby girl. On Wednesday, April 4th, we found out that she has a high-risk birth defect called Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH). God is using this time to stretch us and test our faith, but we are holding tight to His promises.
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."

Your sweet little baby has left her footprints all over my heart…I can’t stop thinking about her! How is that possible when I have never even met her? I think she is PERFECT!

Not only is Ella a miracle, but oh my…the strength you and Josh show, is incredible. Not just anyone, would be able to go through what you two are going through…and making it through like true children of God… Post a comment
