Whew - better day

Ella slept the whole night through without problems.

We had called Grandma Jo so Ella could tell her about her day and my Aunt Joanne had great advice. She said I should go to bed when the girls do because it might be a rough night. I know to follow my Aunties advice and did as suggested. So now I am all rested too.

There were a few comments last night before bed about taking the butterfly out but today its down to one comment. Ella is back to eating normally and no more adverse reactions.

We brushed her teeth with the new brush and Ella did some too. I had problems adjusting the expander so I brought it to daycare when I brought the girls. Thankfully Beth was able to get it moved. I'll try a little more tonight too because we are not sure it was moved enough. I need to adjust it one time each day for the next seven days. Then we go back a week after that to have them look in Ella's mouth again. If everything checks out, we will be going home with the night mask. Prayers and good wishes for that please!

Elizabeth had a blast at Gymnastics Camp.

Besides Gymnastics, they went swimming in the pool, did crafts and ate pizza. Today her group gets to bake cookies. Yesterday's group made the pizza and really put on alot of cheese but it was good. Today Elizabeth thinks they should use a lot of chocolate on the cookies. I like the way she thinks.

Elizabeth was also sweet to Ella again and really wanted to help her this morning. What a blessing she is and a wonderful Big Sister.

Ella did give up a few of her prizes from yesterday's carnival as well. She gave them to her Big Sister. I just love seeing how these two really have made the bond between them so strong!

Glad you all got some sleep - things are always easier when you get your rest. Ella is quite the trooper!

Way to go Ella. We are so proud of you. This is a big adjustment! Can't wait for you to show us your cool butterfly!

Joan and Ella,
Flynn and I will be going to Dr. Wood next Tuesday. I'm glad his staff seemed to be so nice to Ella. I'm sure Ella will be a big help to Flynn as she goes through her own treatment program.

Ella--You are such a brave and wonderful girl

Elizabeth--You are a great big sister and such a thoughtful girl.
