We Are Home
Right now, Ella Grace is screaming and Frank is trying to console her this time-we are in between the time when we can give her pain meds and that seems to be the hardest. That said (and I am sure Ella Grace would disagree at this point), we were sooo happy with how things have gone. The fact that the doctor decided not to place the dreaded stitch in her tongue was an awesome blessing. And when I walked back into recovery and saw no restraints on her arms, I wanted to sing the doxology right there in the hospital. As bad as the night was with her hurting, I cannot imagine what it would have been like if those things had been in place like they told us they would. She has only once tried to suck her thumb and she very quickly determined that it was not a good idea. While sleeping is a problem (probably because she consoles herself with that thumb), she has done very well with eating and drinking. She has had moments when she is almost her normal self, playing and laughing. I am so tired and I still have this horrible barking cough, but I just can’t say how BLESSED I feel to have come this far in only 24 hours. Thank you for your intercessions-she, and therefor, we all, have been blessed by you.

Dear Robin,
Oh those pictures were soooo sweet!! What a trooper that Ella is. We will continue to lift you all up in prayer. I’ll pray that everyday will get a little easier.
I had to call UCLA today and postpone Luke’s 3/15/06 appt. Hopefully we’ll at least be in China by then. They rescheduled for 5/3/06 and it just hit me………that’s his birthday!!
Love You girl!

So glad to hear the update! She looks wonderful! I am thankful that things are going well and you are all back home. Now, let’s pray for mommy to get sleep and for Ella Grace’s pain to ease.
How wonderful that no tongue-stitch was required, and no arm restraints, either – glad she’s come so far in a short time, glad she’s doing well – I love you guys!!!
