July 22nd (Ella's MRI Results)

Up the stairs, down the stairs, up the stairs, and down the stairs..this is Ella's favorite thing to do lately. Love it though!

Ella looks messed up in this picture..lol
                                                       One of my new favorite pictures of Addie!
Adelyn took a great picture of Ella and me...thanks Addie.
Self portrait.
Got a picture of Ella's "pool"...made from blankets, she was jumping off the steps and doing cannonballs. Ella just loved crawling all over them. LOL

The next six pictures are taking my Adelyn...she is getting really good!!


Daddy had a migraine...I didn't even know Adelyn snuck in to get a shot of him. Poor Daddy.

 
 Ella loves her mama. ...Addie's pic!
Today was a BIG day here in the Benton Household. We haven't wanted to share until we got all results but Ella has been diagnosed with Microcephaly..which means "small head"! She also was diagnosed with PMG of the brain. It means that Ella's brain is shaped differently with her nerves connecting in a differnt way. So they don't know exactly how her brain connects, which is why she is delayed in walking, talking, and feeding herself. So really we don't know how Ella will turn out other than she will be happy, healthy and gorgeous...lol. It doesn't matter what the outcome is because we love Ella more than anything.
I will also say that since finding out all of this information Ella has started OT and PT through 1st steps and program here in Missouri. Which is going great!! She is holding her sippy cups and cups now when she drinks and is doing better with eating. Hopefully she will be walking along things sooner than later...I can't wait to see her toddling around!
