When I made the move to Virginia and then took an almost month-long trip out west, I thought I would blog a lot about those adventures, but so far I haven't. But this week is different. We've been celebrating Ella's ninth birthday. Those of you who have followed my blog for a long time have been along the journey of this lovely little girl.
As she celebrates this year, we are celebrating that new drugs are appearing on the scene that are making a real difference in the lives of those with cystic fibrosis. Recently a drug was approved that is targeted at Ella's mutation. While right now, it is only available for those twelve and over, trials are being done in children younger. We are so thankful that Ella has been very healthy and pray that this continues to be the case.
The highlight of her day on Sunday was a trip to Build-a-Bear with several of her friends. When they were done, all returned to Ella's house for a cookout and playing in the yard. In just a few days, she and her friends will be starting fourth grade. Can you believe it? Happy birthday, Ella.
