Small update on Monday

Hi Friends,

Thank you for your prayers for our sweet girl.  She is doing pretty well overall.  She is quite a tough and happy little girl!  She has decided over the last two days that she really likes crawling up the stairs!

Saturday  was a rough sleep night for her so I gave more tylenol yesterday and it really seemed to help.  She doesn't seem to be in a lot of pain except during changes of her bandages.  Perhaps though she just doesn't complain and it's good for me to give her a little tylenol just to help her out. 

In terms of leaking, yesterday was a better day.  I was really thinking maybe we had turned the corner until her evening feeding and she was soaked.  It looked like I had just poured the formula all over her little shirt and body.  When I changed her at this time I also noticed that Eliana is bleeding some around her site.  Not a lot, but it's never a comforting thing to remove bandages and see blood.

We would love your continued prayers for healing and wisdom for us to know if the conditions would warrant her being seen again by the surgeon. 

Sorry this is short, but it's morning and I need to tend to some sweet children.

Love,

Leslie

Thanks for keeping us updated on Eliana! It sounds like a lot of hassle; but it is good she had it taken out so young, correct? I know a lot of older kids with DS that still have theirs--she must be making tremendous progress to have it out so young! Keeping her (and you) in our prayers!

Thank you friends for your prayers. Yes, it is good that she was able to have it taken out so young! I'm so thankful she is able to eat. She still has much to learn, but is really doing quite well all things considered.

Michelle, thank you for sending that. No problem on the time. You are sweet to do that!

Blessings,
Leslie

Little ones waiting in heaven



Philippians 4:6

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer

and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

v7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will

guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

v8 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable,whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.
