Interesting News

Two new videos are on the right-hand side (Warning-Naked baby:-)

Joella is on day 9 of 14 of antibiotics to fight off an infection. We are more concerned about this infection than the doctors seem to be, so we ask for prayer for it be gone as soon as possible.

We received good news in the form of her biopsy results. They came back from an EB lab in Buffalo, NY showing she has a rare form of EB for which her blistering and fragile skin could lessen significantly after 1 to 2 years of age. We are sending an additional skin sample to a different lab at Texas Children's Hospital which, hopefully, will confirm the initial results. Although the initial results appear promising, we are cautiously optimistic-only time will tell about the severity of her condition regardless of what words on paper say. However, any good news is still good news we will accept. Thank you for your prayers.

This is awesome news but we'll keep on praying that what the words on paper says becomes true for Ella! She's a fighter for sure and God is a great God! I can't wait to meet her so I'm praying that the rest of the antibiotics continue to do major work!

Wonderful news, Joe and Katie. Joella will be coming home soon. I'll be thinking of you both. Joe, remember, no farting around the baby.

Sorry, I forgot to add my name to the last post, in case you weren't exactly sure who would put Joella and Joe-farting in the same sentence.

Stay strong, guys.
