Another day in the Nicu

Still 1 pound 4 ounces, but each day brings hope that she will gain more weight. Her levels are good and at this point she just needs to grow. Pray for Ella to get stronger in all areas as well as to grow.

I found out today that Ella will probably be in the hospital at least another 3 months so we will see 2009 before she gets to come home. The reason for her lengthy stay is her size. She needs to gain weight and grow but just like grown-ups it is dangerous for it to happen too quickly. She has been in the hospital for 5 weeks, pray for Aaron and I because at times the enormity of it all becomes overwhelming.
