1060 grams

Ella is now 2 pound 5 ounces which is also 1060 grams. She is doing well however her blood sugar dropped below the number and they took the blood today for the tests. They ordered fewer tests so they did not need to give her blood to replace it and she did well when they were taking it so all is well. Right now she needs to grow and the systems in her body need to fall into place.

Pray for her ability to get her nurishment from a bottle (it will mean she gets to go home sooner), her liver function, glucose levels, lung function, and growth.

Hey! This is Emily and Gil! We went into your blog for the first time today. We have been wanting to see it forever but kept forgetting the site and then we were waiting for each other so we could see it together. Anyways, I have to admit that I cried reading through each day and all the ups and downs........just seeing her precious smile! No matter how much she has been through she can still smile! Amazing! I guess having a young baby makes this extra emotional for me. We have been praying for Ella. She is the prayer request every week at our churches small group too. Gil always asks them to pray for her. We will continue to pray for your beautiful little family and that God give you renewed strength each day! Love,
Emily and Gil
