Doctor visit update and a picture to brighten your day!

 
Ella did not get her vaccinations today after all, her pediatrician decided to postpone them to next week because we had to see the cardiologist today and we didn't want to put to much on Ella in one day! If you remember last week we took Ella in to see the cardiologist because she had a small cough, come to find out after her EKG and ECHO, they said things looked ok, but not great. It looked like things might be going the wrong direction and so they wanted to see her again in a week to re evaluate if she may need another surgery. We left that appointment praying and hoping her tests would look better this week... They DID! God is so good, everything looked great, she is gaining weight great, and her numbers are back down in the range they are supposed to be in. We are going to see them again in a week just to make sure things stay like this! We are so excited to have this good report today! Jon and I got our flu shots today, not fun, but we will do anything for our baby girl!!! We have had to up the dose of some of her meds due to her getting bigger. Please pray that she handles this well! Also please pray that her vaccinations go well next week, sometimes heart babies don't handle it very well because it is too much stress. Ella is truly doing AMAZING we are so grateful for every one's continued prayers... they are crucial for her recovery! Lately she has been such a happy baby she is doing great accomplishing everything that she should be. Sometimes when I look at her I want to cry, because I know it's just a matter of time before she has to go through this all again... and again. It's so hard to watch, but God has been so faithful so far I know He will never leave her nor forsake her.

  6. And to think some people said this was a baby 'not worth saving'? It amazes me sometimes that people can even think that way. We would do ANYTHING for our children, including sacrificing ourselves! Ella is just such a beautiful happy girl, and I am blessed to be standing in prayer with you guys. You have a very happy 3 year old boy praying every night for her heart to keep 'beeping right'! Keep up the good heart beeps Ella!
