Elly is now almost 11 lbs!!! and is 7 months old! She has been doing so well this winter and its no doubt because of her dearest friends who have been praying for her; namely YOU!!!!

I know your prayers are so special. She prays for all you every day also.

Elly can control her head and sit with assistance. Tomorrow I will start feeding her cereal!! She is growing into her size 3-6 months clothes. We have had a lot of illnesses in the house but not her! She has been protected. She loves to swing in her little swing, has a favorite toy. She is the most gentle and loving child. Her temperament is gentle and she always wakes up with a smile!! She happily sleeps through the night!!!!! and loves to suck her thumb.

Elly will be having ear tubes surgery at Holy Spirit on March 21st. She has not passed any hearing tests as of yet so hopefully this will help her out. I have to admit that even though its a small operation, my nerves are shot. I guess its all the emotions bottled up.

This past 7 months have been one roller coaster ride. One thing is for certain, I would not have survived without your prayers and support. I am so sure that your prayers for Elly are what has kept her so healthy and allowed me to continue producing milk to feed her. I am so shocked that after all the stress, and then a hysterectomy and then an ovarian cyst that burst and that stress, that I could still produce milk. Thank you so much for all your prayers.

I don't think I will ever be able to convey my deepest gratitude to you. Thank you for your prayers that have allowed me to have my Elly home safe and happy! Thank you for my little girl!

God Bless you from our Hearts and you are forever in our prayers,
Joe, Gina, Marie, Teresa, Joey and Elly.
