The week before Christmas, Elli ended up staying three days in the hospital for a kidney infection. Luckily, after about a day of IV antibiotics she was feeling much better. I keep telling people that I really don't think she minded all the individual attention once she felt a little better! The bandage on her wrist was to keep the IV in place. She had another test run yesterday to determine the cause of the infection and it looks like it was just a fluke thing...which is what we were praying for it to be. Thank you, Lord, for our little miracle.

Elli got lots of presents on her first Christmas. We're looking forward to putting them all in her new room soon.
Elli was baby Jesus in our church Christmas musical a few weeks ago. I must admit she was the star of the show. She was wide-eyed the whole song and seemed as content as she could be on stage, her eyes following Blake (Joseph) and me (Mary) as we each sang our parts. It was just too cute! Little did we know that the next morning she would be in the hospital!
