Getting in some good snuggles.
Yes, she's smiling!!!
She decided yesterday that she was ready to share some smiles.
She's still stingy with them, but these are the first smiles she's given out since May! There is nothing more beautiful than her smile! I thought my heart was going to explode when she smiled at me today!
All packed up!
Can you read the sign?
It says:
"I'm leaving Primary Children's after 143 days!"
Unbelievable!! I didn't think this day would ever come!
We weren't the only ones that were excited that this actually happened today!
I couldn't stop crying, I'm such a baby!
Getting loaded into the ambulance for the transfer.
Ready to go to South Davis!!
Getting settled into her new bed. They'll soon learn to put pink blankets on her bed. The blue (and some purples) don't compliment her skin tone.
She was behaving herself without the no-no's for a minute.
She loves her mobile!!
She's getting so big, she weighs 16.5 lbs!
Such a pretty girl! I love her eyes, she's getting so expressive.
This is another one of her new tricks, she loves to blow raspberries. She was doing it all day long today. She's so funny!
Can you believe this? She's holding her rattle all by herself and moving it around. She never ceases to amaze me!
Words just cannot fully express how I'm feeling today. I am so blessed. I know that I've witnessed a miracle. I am so proud of Elaina, she amazes me each and every day. My heart is full of love for this sweet soul that has graced my life. I know that my Heavenly Father hears and answers prayers. I see His hand in my life on a daily basis and I am so grateful for it. Today starts a new chapter in our lives, I hope and pray that we continue on this road to recovery and that home can be in our future.

YEAH for Elaina!!!
I hope you all got settled in and South Davis is as wonderful as you envisioned.
So...do you sleep over there?? I just wish they'd send her home with a nurse already...it's too hard to take care of both kids! GEEZ!
She looks amazing...looks like she's getting plenty to eat! and shaking her rattle...she's ready for toys for Christmas!!!
Thanks for sharing!

I am so happy that Elaina has my the move to South Davis! I pray that she will continue to recover well enough to come home at some point soon.
Prayers,

Oh, how wonderful! One step closer to home!!! I do agree, though, they need to get some PINK under her!! She's a GIRL so we need pink!!
Sending hugs all around!

Congrats on the move! She looks great. Maybe a change of scenery will do a world of good! PCMC is wonderful, but 143 days is too long to spend there!! Good luck to you guys. We are in WX, so let us know if we can help!

Happy transfer day! One baby step at a time, right? It is really strange to be walking out of the hospital with her, isn't it? I hope you continue to see her getting stronger and improving each day. I hope the nurses at South Davis are friendly and it doesn't take you too long to 'break them in!'
Yay! I wondered if she were being moved soon when I drove by South Davis yesterday. Glad to hear she was.

Congratulations on the big move. I hope everything goes smoothly for a good transition to home. Thinking of you guys!
Hugs & Prayers,

As much as there is amazement to Elania and all that has taken place in her life, I have to let you know how amazed I am by you. I love you like a sister and you have inspired me more than you know. I pray that things will continue to go well for Elaina and before you know it . .well, I am holding out for the day you have her home.

I am so EXCITED for you! Finally the day you have been waiting for so long actually happened. You SO, deserve all the Miracles that have come your way. I hope and pray you continue to receive many more miracles to come. I love the bumper pads on her new bed, they look much more comfortable. I hope you are more comfortable now and eventally even more comfortable when she comes _ _ _ _.
