Belly Update

This is just a quick update & request for prayer.  A test was done to see if the cause of Ella's tummy problems could be found & the doctor reported that there is a 2cm long "narrowing" in her small intestine.  He couldn't say with complete certainty exactly what it is, but he's fairly sure it is an area of scarring that was a result of poor blood flow when her heart was at its most inefficient.  If this is the case, it will not be able to heal on its own, because it is scar tissue.  Therefore, the only option would be surgery, which might not be a possibility with Ella's heart condition & the medications she's on.  The doctors, radiologists & cardiologist will be putting their heads together today to discuss various options & opinions.

So, we are asking you all to go to the Father to ask for more unexplainable healing that only He can do.  We've already seen Him greatly improve a heart that shouldn't have improved at all.  We are in awe that He has healed her to a point where she is completely breathing on her own, without any respiratory devices (!).  So we know he can heal an intestine that "can't heal on its own" as well.

Hey, where's my respirator? 

But should His will be something else, we are praying for the right process & decisions to be made regarding her care.  For wise 2nd opinions & plan B's to keep her stable & growing in the event that surgery is too risky for the time being.

Thank you all again.  We hope this will prove to be just another hurdle that currently appears to be detrimental, but is really a simple snap of the fingers for the God of miracles.
