Update from Ellie!

Hi Everybody! It’s me Ellie!

As I promised I am sending more pictures!

Now I get to share with you some pictures of some of the rest of my family.
Uncle Paul is my Mommy’s older brother
Aunt Kathy is my Uncle Paul’s nice wife
Matthew is my cousin – he is a big boy because he is 5 years old
Sarah is also my cousin. She will be 17 months old on December 7th

Some of you may not know but Sarah and I have some things in common. Sarah had open heart surgery too. They didn’t know she had any problems until she was about 3 months old. She had 3 holes in her heart! She was able to go home from the hospital after about a week. She should not have to have any more surgeries like me. I am sooooo happy for herJ 

We are also alike cause we need to catch up to what other babies are doing at our age. Sarah is doing a great job! She had some early intervention but doesn’t even need it anymore. Go Sarah! I will start early intervention soon.   I am going to follow Sarah’s example and get stronger J!

I am so grateful to God for my family!

Enjoy the pictures – I will send more right away!

Snuggles and God bless,
Ellie






Hi Everybody

Whew! This is a lot of emails in one day. If you want more pictures let me know cause maybe some of you have seen enough.

Now is water time fun!

Grampa and Matt went swimming - it was really too cold but they had fun and every time Matt went he are pomegranates from Gramma and Grandpa’s trees They must be yummy but I will have to wait and try them when I grow up more.

Matt and Sarah also got to play in the bathtub!

I got a bath too but by myself! Then Mommy put a duck towel all around me. I hope I don't look too silly!

The last picture is my Uncle Paul and my cousins. I couldn't find another picture with them and my Aunt Kathy. We were going to take ore pictures on Thanksgiving but I guess we didn't...

KINDA SAD NEWS. Now this is just sad for now and not serious like health problems. I just want you all to know that I was sooo looking forward to meeting as many of you as I could. Mommy and Daddy were gonna have a party for me.

 BUT I have to be very very careful. I think I was lucky to see my cousin and their Mommy and Daddy. They were not allowed to touch me or my toys (really I would have shared). Well since then all the doctors and nurses have told Mommy and Daddy not to take me out and not to expose me to lots of people (really I always have clothes on!). I guess they don't mean to be mean - it just makes me sad.
There are shots I cannot take cause they are alive (don't know what that means...). Anyway, I guess after flu season (I think that lasts a loooong time) is over I will be able to have a party and meet some of you...I am so sad and sorry... But I can wait and I am looking forward to the day we can celebrate together what God has done and the success of your prayers! I am lucky that I get to see Gramma and Grampa :-)

Meanwhile I will try my very best to stay healthy and to grow big and strong!!

I will also keep sending pictures and little updates. If anyone wants to see more pictures for Thanksgiving time please let me know.

Please keep praying for me and my family. God really does listen and we are all very grateful. God has healed me sooo much and I am blessed again by God and you every time I get to feel a snuggle - thank you so very much.

We give thanks to you, O God,
       we give thanks, for your Name is near;
       men tell of your wonderful deeds. Psalm 75:1


Snuggles and God bless you and those you love,
Ellie
