Zippy!

Ellis still isn't ready to let go and walk on her own, but she is dragging me all over the house and yard by that one finger. She is also enjoying her riding toys, which she thinks are bumper cars. This week she learned to sign "tree" and "monkey." We have Curious George to thank for that last one.
Our big adventure this week was when Ellis decided to remove her own g-tube (feeding tube) this week and I had to put it back in by myself for the first time. The short version of this story is that it was NOT FUN. She was an angel through the whole ordeal and stayed pretty still while I was working on her. I was freaking out on the inside but trying to stay calm for her sake. It happened as Ellis was waking up that morning and still in her crib and at one point as I was working on her belly she started doing the sign for "Jesus," likely because we sing and sign "Jesus Loves Me" every morning after I get her dressed. But in that moment of panic I liked to think she was saying a prayer. After getting the tube back in, I also got a round of applause from Ellis and a big hug and kiss as I was having my ugly-face cry. She is fine now, and we checked with the doctor to make sure there were no problems.
In the next day or so Ellis will probably be going for an ultrasound to check out some swollen tissue at the back of her surgery site that we are concerned about. We appreciate your prayers that everything will check out fine and that this can be easily taken care of.

Ellis loves her Corvette! Thanks Blevins Family!
