Thank you!

Its been great being home after such a hard surgery, but I have to say its been an emotional morning too. Last night was not a good night for Ella at all. Normally before surgery Ella would sleep all night without any feedings. Last night we were up 4 times feeding and trying to calm her down. She was in quite a big of pain. On top of the hard night, I decided I would try on her Christmas dress and it ended up being double the size of her. The emotional mom I am right now started crying. Anything that doesn't work out for Ella or anything hard we have to go through with her sends me into an emotional state of mind. I try to be the strong mom, but sometimes I really cant help it.

This is another emotional part of me that I am going to cry writing it. I want to Thank all our supporters and all the prayers from everyone. I never thought we would ever have to go through such a rough time. I always had the mind set that my children would be healthy and that I would never have to face what we have. The thing that really makes my heart strong is people around SLC and in other states (Jen Clark sending baby coupons, Judi Hummel and all my DWS/Hydro parents)  that have not even met my family that is helping us. I have never been the type that likes to ask for help, even if we are down in the dumps. When we came home from the hospital yesterday we came home to a box of diapers that my best friend Jamie dropped off earlier. A couple of families donated over a hundred diapers to Ella, baby lotion and wipes to us. I am unsure who these family's are. But I want to send a BIG shout out to these family's. Thank you very much for your generosity and compassion for my family. I know in my heart one day Ella will read about all the help we (her) was provided in such a difficult time and how much we are grateful for the support. We also would like to thank SMCC (South Mountain Community Church) for their donation. My Best Friend Jamie's group donated a little bit to Ella, to help with surgery. Our hearts are over joyed with how great friends and family can come together and help each other at such hard times. Thank you Jamie and SMCC for all the help and love you have given us also.
A thank you to Festival Of Trees, they came to Ella after surgery and gave her a cute teddy bear that was donated. A little girl named Shaylee designed and made the clothing on the bear. She also wrote a very cute note to Ella to get well. Thank you Shaylee and Festival Of Trees.
I also want to thank my parents. My mom has taken 2 family days off work for us in the last few months and we really appreciate all her love and help with the kids. I don't know what we would have done without your help.
To the doctors, Kauri Sue Hamilton School and everyone else that has done things for us. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. We are now on a road to success, Ella will soon be able to get back on track and start fighting to get back to what normal children are doing her age. I have faith in Ella and her willingness to learn and get on track. We love you Ella, never give up and always keep moving. You are loved by many and supported by many. Keep up the great strength that you have. We all love you!
