Another Step in the Right Direction!

Apparently Ella is so excited about the newest improvements. And so are we!!!! She has continued to have more and more tubes and wires removed. Amy and Jon completed a CPR class and the staff has begun to educate them on how to give Ella’s medicine. Also they have been mixing formula with Amy’s milk because heart babies need more calories. Amy said she was a little disappointed with that because it felt like they were putting ranch dressing onto a previously healthy salad! She knows though that Ella needs Mommy’s milk too and continues to faithfully do a great job in providing it for her even if they do add formula.
Today they moved Ella out of the NICU and onto another floor. Praise the Lord! This is a huge step on the road towards home! Thank you for your continued prayers and support!

For Amy and Jon,
Aunt Rachael

  7. Dear Ella (and Family),

    I first heard about you from my friend Vickie at Heart and Hand thrift store. I was so moved, I posted about you on my wall and now people as far away as St. Petersberg Florida pray for you daily and say how much they are inspired by your sweet little face. I post as soo as I see anything new and we are all so thankful for the updates and to hear you are getting better and closer to home. God Bless you and your brave faithful Mom and Dad...

  13. I just wanted to pass along that Amy should not feel guilty about giving formula, too many mommies do (me included). Praying that Ella will get better soon.
