Amazing

So we mentioned in yesterday's post that Ella was working with a new physical therapist that specializes in cranial-sacral massage, her name is Denise. Denise is not the first cranial-sacral therapist Ella has seen. Prior to this hospital admission our baby was being seen by Dr. Sharon Vallone, a chiropractor that specializes in cranial-sacral therapy
(http://www.kidspaceadaptiveplay.com/). Dr. Vallone is great, she has a special place in our hearts. Because of the work Dr. Vallone has done and the success Ariella has had with cranial-sacral massage in the past we were very excited to hear the hospital was making this service available. It turns out Denise had another session with Ella yesterday and on my goodness this woman is a gift from God. All of the PT's have been great; Josh and the ladies that work with him are very good, Denise has taken the progress they have made and combined with her skill in cranial-sacral massage has catapulted Ella to the next level. She is making great progress with being comfortable on her belly and being able to hold her head up from various positions. There was even an occasion yesterday where Denise was positioning the baby to sit up on her own, and when she let her go, for a few seconds our baby was holding herself up. That is awesome and we bless God for it, but she has kind of done that before, however, yesterday when she started to lean forward because she can't keep herself all the way up just yet, she put her hand down in front of herself and for a second pushed herself back up. Now she didn't stay up and she didn't push herself all the back up, but this little miracle with a rare muscle disease who was supposed to have died a couple of weeks ago WITH ONE ARM PUSHED HERSELF BACK UP. You can try and tell us there is no God if you want to, but we have seen too many miracles manifest themselves through this amazing little warrior for us to ever doubt HIM.
