Hello Family and Friends- This is Sara, Andrea's sister, I am updating the blog for Andrea due to her being at the doctor with Ella. First I want to let you all know Ella's eye doctor appointment this week was really good, she can see perfect with her glasses which is a blessing to know. On the flip side we have some not so good news. This morning Ella had an appointment for a swallow test, it turns out when Ella swallows she asperates and the fluids end up in her lungs. For this reason Ella is going to be undergoing surgery to have a feeding tube put in. This is a major surgery and they are trying to get her in ASAP. They are looking at being in the hospital for a minumum of a week and until the surgery is done she will be restricted from any liquids and most foods. Clearly this is not the answer any of us were looking for and it feels like one more step back. Andrea and Joe are meeting with the Pediatric surgeon right now, so I hope to have the surgery time in my next update. Please, we ask that you take a moment and pray for our sweet little Ella as well as our family. Lord knows Andrea and Joe have amazingly and gracefuly accepted the challeges God has put infront of them and we know they will do the same with this next challenge, but that doesn't make it and easier or less scary. We all know our little angel has pulled through so much and this will be one more challange she will pull through. Thank you all for your prayers and stay tuned for the next update.
In His Grip- Sara
