New Pictures and an Update

Things are returning to normal around here. We are all recovering from our colds, though Ellie is taking her sweet time doing it. We finally called into the doctor and asked her to prescribe Ellie some steroids to help with her breathing and clearing out her lungs. She really did handle this cold better than the last two though.

We did not get good news from the tests that resulted from her UTI. They showed that she is reluxing urine into her kidneys which can be quite damaging if it is bad. It also can be the cause of frequent UTIs. We do not know how bad the relux is yet, so we are not able to draw any long term conclusions from the test yet, other than we can add a few new doctors to her repertory. blah.

Ellie is now doing a six-week course of therapy at Mary Free Bed. They really are not doing too much new for her, but it does open us up to new contacts and opportunities. It is also something I can cross off my list that we tried. Then on to the next thing!

I want to thank you all for remembering us, even as you get busy with summer and other things in life. Your cards, comments and gifts mean so much to us and sustain us through this journey. We feel held up by your prayers and love.
