Ellie is Doing Well!!!!!!

Ellie had a great weekend resting and recovering from her surgery Friday.  She came off the vent easily and is back loving the bottle!  All great things getting her close to coming home!!!!!!  Here's Ab's email from last night...

Wednesday night-
ellie had a great day today. her breathing sounded much better and she took a bottle all day long. she chugged her feeding tonight and could have maybe done more if some milk had been warming for her.


as long as ellie is doing well tomorrow, kate, luke and dan are coming up to see her tomorrow afternoon. they are very excited. when we told them the possibility of them seeing ellie, kate and luke said, "yeah," and dan at the same time said, "yuck!" it made us laugh that dan's timing was so perfect on his yuck!

my mom goes back to iowa tomorrow afternoon and then matt's mom gets here friday morning. it will be a nice turn around by the grandmas. :) we have been so fortunate that our families have been able to help us most days since ellie has been in the hospital. i think we have only had a total of five, maybe six, days where friends have had to handle the other three.

attached is a picture of ellie today after a bath. it is her eight week anniversary today and she will be two months old on monday. we are thankful that God has given us this time with her and a new perspective on how precious life is. please pray that everything continues to get better for ellie grace and that she is just covered with the peace of the Holy Spirit.

love-
matt and abbie
