Yet Another Praise!!!

These bows are way too much fun!!!




God keeps amazing me of His awesomeness! I took Ella to see her neurologist today (Dr. Hille). She had a great report. He thinks that the hydrocephalus is correcting. In his opinion, he doesn't think she will need a shunt. Her sutures are correctly forming which shows that the hydrocephalus isn't misshaping the skull. Her reflexes were right on track, too. Her head size has remained the same and is only about 1cm larger than a full term baby (he considers her full term now). He said if I brought her in to see him and he didn't know any of her history, that he would see that nothing was wrong with her. She will have another EEG done in January and if it shows no more seizure like activity, than she will come off of her seizure medicine then. This is incredible news. Especially since I'm totally against giving/taking medicine :) haha! Just kidding! I just have a hard time remembering to give/take medicine. Now our goal is to get the neurosurgeon to call us back. The neurologist can't officially say that the hydrocephalus is "cured". We might have to take her to see a neurosurgeon in Fort Worth if we can't get the one here to cooperate. Dr. Hille said he is relatively optimistic that everything is going to be okay with Ella. He does want to order one more MRI to ensure that no particular brain damage was done when she was still in my womb. With every blessing God has provided us, I believe that she is going to be perfect! Perfect in every way that God has made her. Thank you all for praying for our sweet little Ella.


Bath Time!!!
