Big Belly


They have stopped Ella's feeds again because her belly is swollen and there is too much air in her bowels. Once again she is having a preemie day and we are having a tough thanksgiving because the little girl doesn't get to eat any food. They are doing a complete round of tests to find out exactly what might be wrong because her color is a little off as well. They have started her on two antibiotics and in faith I am believing that any infection is stopped before it starts.

On another note, Ella's right hand came off yesterday and the skin underneath looks very good. She didn't seem to mind that it is gone as the picture can attest (it was taken right after it happened) but I did have some moments of mourning. Seeing her right arm without a hand attached to it was very shocking to me at first but now that I am used to it I can see that she will be just fine.

Pray for her to get back on the feeds and for infection to STAY AWAY!

Christy!
She is absolutely beautiful! And look at the joy all over her face! It looks like as far as she's concerned, there's nothing to worry about! It's that child-like faith, you know? God's favorite kind!
Well, I hope you and Aaron have a wonderful Thanksgiving. It was so good to see you this past weekend. I look forward to seeing ya'll home soon! That's our prayer! Talk to you later.
Love,
Casey
