Bella currently weighs 10 lbs 15 oz (down from 11 lbs 1/2 oz :( )
Length is almost 25 inches.
She is still on O2 at night. We have started trying to eat baby food every day. She is getting better at it.
Things to pray for:
For her head. That the doctors will know the best way to help her and if it is God's will that it will heal without the need for more surgeries.
That she will be able to tolerate her therapy well and respond to the treatments.
That she will be able to eat well and gain weight.
That she will remain healthy through this cold and flu season.
Thank you!! We love you all!!
Hello to the Price Family,
ReplyDeleteI continue to follow your Bella Blog and I am humbled by the trials through which you are persevering. Thank you for sharing your story!
I hear your concerns about keeping Bella healthy through cold and flu season. It must be nerve-wracking to worry about.
I know that I don't know you personally, except I was a high school acquaintance of Matt's, but I have something to tell you about that is a huge help to us in our family in keeping healthy. I have been learning about the healing and purifying properties of essential oils and I now use them with great success to help my family stay healthy, or get healthy very quickly when something hits us out of the blue. It is Doterra Essential Oils. It's hard to tell you much about it through a blog comment, but if you would like to look into it, please go to http://www.mydoterra.com/brandt/ and read through "An Intro to Essential Oils". The info there is a drop in the bucket, but it is a beginning.
Doterra oils are Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade, the highest grade possible, and can be used topically, aromatically, and internally. They are safe and effective for new born infants, elderly, and everyone in between. When someone in my family is sick, I diffuse the oils to purify the air and it keeps the rest of us from getting sick. I also apply them topically and take them in empty capsules to help with any health issue that comes up. I can't imagine life without them!
If you would like to learn more, please email me at ecbanderson@gmail.com. I can send you more info.
Here is one tidbit though. Frankincense and Myrrh are essential oils, and it is fascinating to learn the healing properties of these two oils, and then it makes total sense why they were given as gifts to the Savior.
Respectfully,
Emily Brandt Anderson
