I’m Hungry Mother! Really I Am!

Correction…
I questioned whether a newborn could drink 20ozs so when the speech therapist said it again Lyza clarified & it was only 20ml. That’s approximately an oz.

This quote from Rolly in the 101 Dalmatians describes our little Echo today. She finally took a bottle & downed 20ozs! I think she’s tired of eating through her “nose hose”, as Lyza called it tonight. 
We had dinner w/Lyza and her & Chris are doing well. Chris even ran home to get some things done around the house.
The little yellow paperclip is our little Echo on our family chain that Grandma Ashton started several years ago at a reunion & we just hung it in our car & have kept adding to it. Uncle Jex & Auntie Lyndsey added Echo’s clip while we were at the hospital several days ago.

    This blog is one of the first things I check every morning. I am filled with happiness at all the positive news. I sure hope that 20 ounces was not all in one feeding. Keep it up little warrior.

No Words

There are no words.  Less than 2 weeks after this all began and less than a week since Lyza asked everyone to fast for our little Echo and so many miracles have happened! Thank you so much to each of you who dropped to your knees & answered our plea for immediate help. Today Echo met a key milestone as she was taken off all oxygen, tried to take a bottle and was transferred out of the PICU! Our hearts are so full of gratitude for all the prayers offered on her behalf and for a loving Heavenly Father who had mercy on our little warrior.  She still has some mountains to climb but she’s stronger from the battle and we feel like her chances are looking pretty good. Chris & Lyza are also grateful for those who have donated to help with expenses. They have been humbled by your generosity.

Echo had her follow up appt with the eye dr. They need to watch closely for side effects from the viral meningitis. She passed w/flying colors & doesn’t need to go back for 6 months. She is also doing well to take all of her feedings by bottle so she got her NG tube out yesterday. Good things happening! Guess we should add that she has 4 cousins that adore her.

Our Miracle Turned One!

What a year! I don’t think that there has been a milestone or activity that did not remind us how lucky we are to still have our sweet Echo. She is a walking, talking ball of sunshine & attitude. Her doctors continue to marvel at her strides as she checks off all the boxes. Echo celebrated her birthday with her family at Hogle Zoo, ate lunch at Primary Childrens cafeteria and opened presents & ate cupcakes in the hospital parking garage. We love our little warrior!💕
