A Wonderful Sunday

I have learned that I get more responses if I post a picture of our beautiful daughter first, so here ya go:





We had a great day yesterday. We started off by visiting Ellie early in the morning before church. I was excited to see her dressed in a gorgeous brown kimono shirt that Grandma Vedra bought for her. She was resting peacefully, and it was nice to start the day visiting her.

It was great to be at church and worship our covenant God. We are just amazed at the warmth and fellowship we receive from our church family. They have made it clear that they are here to support us in whatever we need, whether it be with food, prayers, money, or electrical work on the house. We can not express how loved and encouraged we feel.

Adam expressed to me after returning from the evening service just how sustained he feels after spending time at church again. He just felt so uplifted, and like no matter what happens, God will provide.

After evening church, we headed off to visit Ellie again (thanks mom and dad!) We had such a good visit! She was opening her eyes a bit and moving around a lot. Our nurse was showing us a lot about trach care, and when she suctioned Ellie, we think we saw her cough!! I still can't believe it, which is why I say "think" even though the nurse was pretty sure it was a cough. I know I should not be surprised at God's miracles, but it is still unbelievable.

Thanksgiving:

Our awesome parents who have been helping us out in so many ways

Friends who bring meals and watch the boys

Successful tracheostomy surgery

The support of our church family and believers around the world

Prayer Requests for this week:

That Ellie would continue to amaze us in her little ways of progress

That Ellie would be able to breathe through her trach without a vent

The upcoming g-tube surgery

Thank you everyone for your prayers! They are working, and we can feel it.
