Today was pretty much a repeat for Ella. Her BUN is hovering around 22 and she’s behaving mostly like herself.

No, that’s not a cast. If you remember, they ended up getting an IV in her left hand instead of her foot, which isn’t the most convenient place, but with Ella you gotta take what you can get.

We did discover a little milestone today….there’s a lower left front tooth starting to break through Ella’s gums! While we’re excited about this, it’s a bit of a bummer that it’s happening on top of everything else she’s going through. But, who am I to say that there would be a better time =).

I did my best to manage Ella during last night so that Tina could catch up on her sleep. We’re both still pretty wiped though. Tina’s not feeling the greatest either – seems like it might just be from lack of sleep. But prayers are needed so that she does not catch a cold and that Ella can maintain her steady progress until surgery.

I’ll be heading in the office tomorrow and then taking Wednesday off for the Bun’s surgery.

Thanks for the continued prayers and support!

She really does look better from our vantage point. Perhaps you will be listened to more seriously, now that the result is documented. We are praying constantly. We know you and Ella are strong. Be nice to the baby’s mommie, she needs her strength. LOVE ALWAYS, Jim and Char

Congrats on the tooth Ella!

You guys are staying so strong. Hang in there. I know the hospital is tough especially when you guys have been hanging out there for so long.

I’m praying things go well and you can all make a speedy recovery and exit from the hospital soon.

Sending prayers for Tina’s health and Ella’s strength before her surgery. Thinking lots about all three of you. Thanks for sharing all the pics– the love that the three of you share just jumps off the pictures 🙂

I just noticed her hair is laying flat on her head! What happened to the mohawk she’s been sporting?
My prayers are with you and it’s so good to see her smiling. That means she’s feeling better which can only help Wednesday during surgery. Love to the three of you.

Dear Tina and Josh, Praying for you both and lovely, little, beautiful Ella. Please God, let your hand guide the surgeon. Let the surgeon(s) be well informed by all the testing. Let their schedules be light, their minds super sharp, their reflexes good, and their hearts be involved in Ella’s welfare, as are we all. God please bless her and you both. Love, Laura M.
