….well, okay. She DOES owe an awful lot to Gainesville, so I suppose we will just have to accept that Ella is a gator (with a small g). We will do this under the condition that Ella roots for Georgia for any game that the Gators are not in. Because, after all, we did drive 12 hours to see her, keeping ourselves awake by singing “Turn Around, Bright Eyes” to each other at 2am….all to bring UGA to her bedside..at which point she made a marvelous turnaround… Does that sound fair to sweet Ella? We understand that she must root for the Gators on October 27th when they play Georgia.
And you do understand that you have given birth to a Southern girl, which means that you are now obligated to follow college football at a near-fanatical level for the rest of your life, right?
Just want to make sure we are all clear!
Love, Lesli

Yes = His word is sovereign, He never runs out of the resources to keep each of us in His hand and knows all our needs. Ella you just are so beautiful I would love to touch your little arms. Mom and Dad please continues to recognize when you need rest and refreshing. He will be beside all of you. Our prayers continue and we rejoice with every step she makes. She has taught so many of us about so many things our Lord. Happy Sunday, Lord Bless and Hugs. Steve and Joan

Our kids all want to know how baby Ella is doing every day. We are so thankful for how she is growing and healing each day–she looks fabulous! Know we still have some praying to do and we’re really trusting that this fluid issue will resolve itself THIS WEEK and will be praying toward that end. Our little 2-year-old, Lily, has decided that Ella is better and needs to go home. (Actually, she wants Ella to come to our house, first.) We all think Ella is a very brave baby to stay in her hospital bed and are very happy that she has so many good caregivers throughout the day and night! May Dr. Kays and staff have much wisdom to know how to care for little Ella creatively and skillfully. We pray for His blessing on all of you as you continue to wait upon Him. Enjoy each precious moment. Thanks for blessing us, too!

Princess CinderElla, you may root for whomever you please, whoever helps you continue to grow and get healthy and show us some more of those gorgeous bright eyes as long as it’s not Nebraska =) Just kidding – for you, I’d make an exception even for them. So grateful for your progress, even with the occasional detour, and for the way God is ministering to your precious parents’ hearts, and to us thru all of you. Love in Him always – XOXOXO

Oh sweet Ella! Yes you have no other choice but to be a Gator Girl – remember we pumped all that Gator blood through you while you were on ECMO?! 🙂 I pray you just had a one day relapse on those fluids and tomorrow will be better. You guys are in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs & Kisses to Ella ~ Nurse Angie
P.S. Watch out UGA – there’s a Gator in the bed, ya know what they do to dawgs! CHOMP..CHOMP 🙂
