I wanted to write a short entry and ask for prayer this week. Ella has a hearing test on Monday (tomorrow) and we would appreciate prayers. Most infants with meningitis have hearing loss so we are having hers tested. The problem is that they don't sedate infants and it's hard to determine if she'll sleep through the exam so they can test everything. Please pray that she is calm and the test is conclusive that she has no hearing loss.
On Tuesday we have PT again. We are still doing Tuesday mornings at 9am till October when we might be moving to Wednesday mornings at 7:30am...Depending on if the family whose spot we are taking decide to leave. Otherwise we may need to find a different child physical therapist. Also, Ella is getting MUCH better at head control since Joe has worked with her so much on it.
Friday we have our MRIs. For some reason they made me schedule 2 appointments that day. Ella will be sedated bc we are supposed to receive a phone call from the anesthesiologist the night before. There are two things they are looking for. One is to see if there has been any change in the bruises on the brain...The second is to see if there is still a concern for the enlarged blood vessel in the very center of her brain. Please pray that as they look at the film that both of these issues have been resolved and God has healed her brain.
We would love to hear from you if you are praying for our little girl. It's amazing how many people we have met that we didn't even know were praying for us...It really does help on the tough weeks to know there is God's army standing in the gap for us in prayer.
We love you all,
The Mitchells

Precious Mitchells! We love you all! It was wonderful to see you and Joe with Ella at the church dedication last night. She is a sweet pea! I love her laugh! :)
Please know that not only are the Farells in TX praying for you, but the Tucker family in VA, AR, MS, and NC pray for Ella as well as other family members in AR. You are in the hearts and prayers of many families who continue to ask for updates and truly seek the Lord in prayer on your behalf.
You are loved,
Glen and Lydia and our extended families
