Just wanted to let you all know that Ellie's G-tube surgery is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct 16.
They have taken her off of ventilator support and have her on CPAP. CPAP is basically positive pressure; it doesn't actually breathe for her. So this is a good step. We are still praying hard that she will be able to breathe through the trach without the CPAP support.
Her primary nurse is back working today after 2 days off. She told me that Ellie seems even more responsive now that she was 2 days ago! Praise God for progress!
Thank you everyone for your messages of support and prayers. We are doing well.
Praise the Lord!
ReplyDeleteLooks like I'm going to help Mom with the boys tonight, but I may try to make it up to the hospital at some point as well.
Check your email, Em. I sent over some sweet pictures from Monday night.
Love you guys and the prayers continue for our little Ellie Rose.
"That you may know...what is the immeasurable greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His great might that He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.
ReplyDeleteAnd He put all things under His feet and gave Him as Head overall things to the Church..." Ephesians 1:18b, 19-22
As you face challenges every day in this trial, lean on the power and wisdom of our loving Lord. It is a beautiful thing to see how you are responding in faith to your situation. When we respond this way in faith and obedience to the challenges that seem insurmountable, not shrinking back but depending on His mighty power, we get to see the amazing work of God, and the gates of hell will not revail against us(Matt. 16:18) May He get all the glory and praise.
With love and prayers,
Dean & Jen
Yay! Praising God with you for how God is working out all the details. I LOVE the way that Mommy's and her little girl's clothing coordinates! You two look beautiful! (and Daddy is not too bad either!) We are continuing to pray for you, dear friends!
