Day 54

I was just thinking about her in this Super Girl outfit, so I thought I would share. Her brother had a Superman birthday party last year, so we bought them matching costumes. Josh stood still for 1 picture then flew off around the house, but Ella was in a picture mood- so we took advantage of this rare occasion.

I wonder if it is unusual for her to not want to talk about why she is sick. She really doesn't ask any questions, and when I ask her she doesn't really want to say anything about it.
Josh has started having nightmares that involve hospitals and being trapped- I do not take this as a good sign. I know how much he loves her and I try to re-assure him that everything will be okay, but I know it is not enough. How can it be? Most days I'm trying to reassure myself.

Ella started getting freckles right before this happened. Which, I think is the cutest thing ever! Especially with her red hair, but I'm bias. Anyway, when I was a kid, my mom told me they were angel kisses. I can't help but think the angels knew that she was going to need some extra love and started kissing her. They are tiny and hard to see, but they are there- all over her nose and right under her eyes.
She is having another wonderful day today, so I am just very grateful today. I feel like it is the calm before the storm.
Thank you for reading.
