tuesday from denver

sam and i made it to denver with only the slightest bit of drama and have loved our first few days here!  i was able to meet and love on ellie twice yesterday too!  she is a pretty little lady and it feels good to be here!  abbie's email from tonight...

tuesday night update:

we have had a good couple of days with ellie. she did start out monday with another bradycardia and the nurses said that she turned a lovely shade of blue but then had a wonderful day. she ate about a teaspoon from a bottle twice yesterday and once today so that is some nice progress. they only feed her from a bottle when she is pretty awake so we have to take advantage of those times. also today, i got to give her a bath and she loved it. we got her cleaned up, in a new onesie and she was right back to sleep.
ellie's breathing is still fast but overall she looks much better and is definitely improving. the doctors keep reminding us that her trend is upward even when she has little setbacks so we have many things to be thankful for. please keep praying for continued improvement, for maturing of her breathing and that she gets the hang of eating fairly quickly. thank you so much for your support of ellie and of us. again, we are very, very thankful!
love-
matt and abbie

ps- my son lovingly pounded his cute little fists on their keyboard and knocked out both shift keys in one quick swipe...quite the move... hence the lowercase type-  sorry!!

here are a few pictures for you to enjoy!!  ps- feeding tube in her mouth and moisture plus a little bit of oxygen (i think so anyways!) in her nose.
