Well, we are on the way to getting home this weekend!! Your prayers have worked and continue to work as you keep us in them.
Ella pulled out her feeding tube this morning and practically handed it to the nurse in a way of saying "I don't need this anymore and I'm ready to go home". She took 5 of 8 full feedings yesterday by bottle. Today she has taken all of them (5 so far since 9am) and even breastfed twice. It's been a long and exciting day. We also moved rooms and now we are in an area that is pretty much the step before getting out of the hospital. We will most likely go home either Friday or Saturday if she keeps eating this well!!
We are working on her wrist and that will be something that we continue to work on for quite a few months still.
PLEASE keep Ella's eating in your prayers these next 48 hours so that it really catches on and we can go home!!
Write back with ANY questions so I know what I haved caught you up on or what questions/concerns you might have. It might actually help me ask questions as we have the nurses and doctors for another couple of days.
Love you all...keep praying.
Andrea

I can't WAIT for Ella to come home where she belongs and for you guys to get to start your lives together at last! We are praying that Ella stays VERY interested in eating and eating well. What an amazing testimony this precious girl is to God's unfailing love and mercy!
Love to you all-

yay, yay, yay! God's mercies are new each morning and his compassions never fail. Great is his faithfulness! :) we are thrilled and looking forward to meeting this precious little one! praying for you all!
Andrea: I know you are so excited/newvous/elated/grateful/and on and on and on! You are a great mom and Ella will be so happy to be in her home this weekend with her Mommy and Daddy! Can't think of any questions right now, but I'll keep you in mind. It never fails that once you say "Bye" to the Dr. 2 or 3 questions pop in your mind!
Prayers are continuing to come your way!
Love,
Debbie
We're so happy Ella finally gets to go home with her mommy and daddy. The only question I have is "when can Aunt Judy baby sit?"
Matt called last night from Camp Fish in CO, the first question was "how is Ella?"
God is so faithful.
