It's been a crazy couple of days, and it ends with a few morsels of good news. I mentioned in the last post that Ella has a few spots on her liver. 2 days ago we took her in for a CT scan of her abdomen so the doctors could get an enhanced view of her

It's been a while since I updated you, so I figured I'd put Ella down for a sec and give you all the latest news. Emma is currently in a holding pattern over at Children's Hospital. After being moved 5 different times within the facility, I think we finally
