Ella Update as of Saturday 10:30 p.m.....

Well little Ella has done so well today. She has had enough wet diapers that they have stopped reporting them to Andrea and Joe. All of her stats look very good and she seems to be fighting very hard. She is still critical, but is showing improvement. She is getting another blood transfusion in the morning and a new platelet transfusion. She has used up all of the platelets from he first transfusion fighting off this nasty disease, and it is perfectly normal. They say she is moving in the right direction and we pray she will be out of critical soon. She has had NO seizers for 29 hours now and counting. She has been almost 48 hours with a negative blood culture and that is remarkable. Her doctor from Children's will be coming tomorrow to do another spinal tap to check her spinal fluids for the disease. Andrea and Joe are in good spirits although you can only imagine how hard it is to see your infant go through this. They keep eachother going and it is remarkable to watch. I got to go in with Ella tonight and took a few pictures of her and one of me kissing her litle toes. She is so amazing !!! Andrea and Joe will take more tonight and I will post them tomorrow. I got to tell Ella about all of yalls love and support and that we love her and Jesus loves her and she is going to make it through this, God does miracles everyday and she is one of them. PLEASE continue to pray for her health and mom and dad's rest as they need it very much. Still no visitors or phone calls but Andrea and Joe will let you know when they are ready. Thank you again for prayers and support- Sara
