Sunday Update

Our little girl is an EATER!! She took 3, yep...count 'em...3 bottles today. The first feeding was at noon and she took 30 of her 65 cc feeding by bottle. Then dad gave her a bottle at 3pm and she took 47 cc of her 65 feeding. Finally she took her third and largest bottle...53 cc at 9pm from me!!








We are SO excited, every bottle is just that much closer to walking out that door and bringing her home where she belongs.

Tomorrow we are having an ultrasound on the left wrist bump just to rule out any problems. Also, we are DONE with the antibiotics...goodbye to Group B Strep and Meningitis. God is so good to us!!








We'll update again tomorrow as we always hear more from the doctors on weekdays.

Love you all,
The Mitchells

Yea! I'm so happy to hear how well Ella is doing. We will continue to pray for your precious baby girl. I'm out of school now and have lots of free time if you need anything. I'll be out of town for the next week, but after that, maybe I can take you out to lunch. We miss ya'll. -Claunch

I'm so excited she is eating more and more. That picture of you and Ella is so cute. I can't wait until we get to see her sometime soon. We missed you at church on Sunday. Be sure to get lots of rest before your little one comes home. We continue to pray. Love, Julie

Joe and Andrea, just to let you know we continue to pray for each member of your family for each individual need.
We have loved Little Ella from the beginning. Your sweet and loving statements about her, bring tears to our eyes
and make our hearts swell. What a blessed little girl she is to have parents who love her and want to share her
with us. What a witness to your faith! We know this is very difficult. Our prayers for peace and patients are with you.. May you find the physical and spiritual rest you need for this journey.

Our assurance is that even before we were born, God had a plan and purpose for our lives.
We love all of you,
Chris and Katy
