Thank you for all of your prayers. Sorry it has taken me soo long to post another update and pictures. So I posted videos instead. Ellie is doing fabulous. She is beginning to sit up with little support by her self and she is babbling. It melts my heart when I hear it. She smiles when you just look at her now. There is nooo way you could be in a bad mood when you see her smile no matter how tired you are. I could not imagine life without her.
When we saw the cardiologist last week I found out that she will have to go to the hospital next summer to have a heart catheter put in so they can take pictures of the inside of her heart and to close up the valve that reopened. I realize it is a minor procedure and they do not even consider it surgery but she will have to be put to sleep again and she will have to be intabated again and even though she will only have to stay one night at the hospital it still breaks my heart to think this is coming next year. How ever it seems soo minor compared to what we went though this past summer. Thank GOD that is over. For anyone anticipating an upcoming surgery, I know what you are going though but I promise the hardest part is the wait for it. Pray, pray and pray some more. God is good all the time.
Faith, THANK YOU for the videos!!!! My heart just sang to see her so active and happy. The pictures are always great, but this was even better.
ReplyDeleteGod has certainly been watching over our little girl, and I am very thankful for that. What a precious little jewel has been added to your family.
I hear she REALLY likes the sound of her own voice too.
Love to you all,
Lianne
THANK YOU Faith for giving us the update and the videos! I love to see and hear Ellie, it is just heartwarming and to me her laugh lets me know that God is watching over our family.

Though we do not know each other, I first heard about Ellie Mae on facebook, and since then I have been thinking about her and praying for her. I had a sister with the same heart defect and down syndrome, so this really just stuck with me. I just wanted to let you know that your precious baby girl has my family praying for her.
