Ella's Health Has Returned!!

For the past several days, the only things I've been posting are health updates on Ella. Well, hopefully today is the last one. :) Ella slept all night for the second night in a row! And today has only coughed one noticeable time! I haven't given her any steroids OR puffs from her inhaler either! What a blessing from Jesus that we are seeing such a noticeable recovery! 

We never, ever take Ella's health for granted. And this new recovery is no exception.  Every night when we are saying prayers with the girls, if Ella is healthy at the moment, we praise Jesus! It has been amazing to watch as He continually cares for and protects our sweet little babe. Thank you so much for your prayers! The great, I Am, has heard them and He has answered mightily!
This is Ella playing one of her ABC games while she was sick.  She was pretty pale and pasty while her breathing problems persisted.
This was taken just a few moments ago and her coloring is back and she is full of life and fun again!  Praise Jesus!

Prayer for Ella Belle

Please keep our Ella Belle in your prayers. She's been taking short, quick breaths for two days now and coughing so frequently and violently. Yesterday, her coughs were so intense that she threw up. We took her to Quick Care yesterday and the Physician's assistant urged us to go straight to the E.R. because of Ella's breathing, cough, slight fever (but she was on preventative antibiotics for her incision, so it was odd for her to be running a fever), and aches and pains in her tummy. She wanted blood tests and x-rays done to rule out infections and/or pneumonia, RSV, collapsed lung, etc... Feeling frustrated that we had just gone and spent $ at Quick Care and received no answers, we went home and called Ella's pediatrician's after-hours number and talked to the on-call nurse. She also urged us to go straight to the E.R., so we went. When we arrived and after we saw the doctor, he was so busy with a patient that was having heart troubles, that i

Just a Thought

Tonight I went to coffee with a new friend.  It was extremely eye-opening.  She revealed to me that she craved in-depth conversations about God and be able to candidly share what He has done in her life without feeling awkward.  It just hit me like a ton of bricks, like a freight train or whatever analogy you need...that people are hungry for Jesus and communion with believers, even if they are already saved!  We are to live in community with others.  How are we to function as the body of Christ if the parts of the body aren't connected? Romans 12:5 "so in Christ we, though many, form one body , and each member belongs to all the others." How many times do I pass people on the street, in the grocery store or even at church and not even make eye-contact?  What if all they needed that day was a smile or one "hello" to keep afloat?  I commit today to be more intentional and to ask Jesus who I am supposed to connect with that day.  Just a thought...
