God is so good! Thank you for praying specifically for Ellie Kate. This past week she gained 13 oz, which is huge! The doctors are so pleased, and will continue to watch her weight over the next few months.
This weekend Ellie will be wearing a heart monitor. This will check her heart rate and make sure everything is okay. It is portable and as convenient as you can get with this sort of thing! We will know the results sometime next week.
We are continually humbled and overwhelmed by the grace, love, support and prayers you are showing us. Just this week we received an email from a church in Pakistan who fasted and prayed for Ellie Kate for three days! Their entire church body participated. Imagine, this church body, who undoubtedly faces extreme persecution and lives amongst violence, taking three days to lift our daughter before the Lord. What an amazing family of Believers we belong to! Stories like these encourage our hearts and encourage our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ways to Pray:
1. That EKM will continue to gain weight
2. That the heart tests will all show positive things
3. That EKM's awareness and development will continue to increase
Also, many of you have asked to support us financially. Again, what a humbling thing for us! Our confidence is in Jehovah Jireh, Our Provider, so we in no way are soliciting or asking for gifts. We simply want to give you information that people have asked for. Mike's brother Drew is a CPA and is handling some of our donations. You can make a donation on their website at www.babymaconline.com - just click on the "Ellie Kate McLaughlin" link.
God is so very faithful! We love and appreciate each of you.
Ryan
