Pretty in Pink Butterflies and Rainbows


Bella got a new butterfly shirt yesterday and then today childlife brought her this new butterfly rainbow blanket that matched just perfect. She just looks so cute today with all of her pink. So of course I had to take a bunch of pics. I couldn't pick just one so here are my favorite three. ENJOY!!



REALLY, REALLY GOOD NEWS!!!

First off, Ava came off ECMO this morning and she is doing really well. They would like to see her o2 sats a little higher. They have moved her from the NICU to the PICU. Please continue to pray for her recovery.


As for little miss Bella, she is still doing great. No more fever and nothing is growing out in her adneovirus culture. Dr. Lofland stopped by and said we are on for tomorrow morning as of now. She will have surgery like around 8:15. I will have a more definate time for you later.

That's awesome, for both girls. I know I text you about coming up but we are going to wait until Grace gets home and be up there around 6ish. So we will see you then. And of course tomorrow I will come up in the afternoon. So make sure Bella knows Aunt Amber is coming. Love you!

Thank the Lord, Bella is doing good! Such sweet pictures! And praise the Lord, surgery is scheduled for in the morning. The Lord is with Bella and all of you. We're joining the others, lifting you all to HIM!

The poem you got from Amy's blog is so real. Bella is special, but so are her parents!

Love, Aunt Judy
