Bella has come so far and GOD is the main source of her healing. However, you and Ang should be proud of the great team work. God is rewarding you efforts!<br />Posted Jul 2, 2009 7:50pm<br />by Judith Green<br /><br />Hi Tim and Ang. I think of you every day and know the stress of a crying baby and sleepless nights. The crying is exhausting but mentally it is hard as we wonder if something is hurting and we are helpless to make it all well. It is a hard time of life but I do believe we grow in courage and strength for going thru it. I began my search for strength during those days and began to build a greater understanding of the power of God. I try to rely on that power to lead my life and to turn it all over to him. We are working hand in hand. He gives these children to those who are the strongest in his sight. Good will come of this struggle. With love to you all. Judy Green.

Isn't it comforting to know there are physicians in this world who really care and will take the time to sit down and really talk with you. I was married to such a physician, (he passed on 13yrs ago of lung ca). We made a great team, he was very loving, compasionate and an excellent physician, his patients absolutely adored him. These phy. are rare these days but you have found some really wonderful ones. I am so impressed with CHOC, what a blessing this hospital has been to those of you that are hurting for your children and for the children that are hurting as well. We are hoping and praying that Bella will get better with her crying issues. It has to be very difficult. I can only imagine. It will get better............<br />What would we do without the church, God is good. Much love Uncle Bill and Jan<br />Posted Jul 1, 2009 7:47am<br />by Sheila Marchetta<br /><br />It is great to hear the good news--Dr. Grant and Bella's weight gain.<br />The bad news -- giving up coffee -- that's a tough one!<br />Remember that "pulling out all the stops" includes -- asking for ALL the help that you need. You are surrounded by loving people, who are helping. Is there more help that you want/need? You and Ang need to all you can to keep yourselves going. Sometimes that means asking for more help.<br />Meanwhile, my love and prayers are with you, Ang, Bella and Ali.<br />Posted Jun 30, 2009 6:28pm<br />by Barbara Dailey<br /><br />We pray for strength, grace, and dignity for you to handle this challenge in your life - and apparently our prayers are working - still thinking of you and praying for you - sending our love Walt/Barb<br />Posted Jun 30, 2009 4:30pm<br />by Russ Baldwin<br /><br />Nice to hear of the progress being made.

Still keeping you and your family in my thoughts! So happy to hear Bella is doing so well!<br />Posted Jun 30, 2009 3:04pm<br />by sam b<br /><br />Tim: I just looked at your pics and updates on CarePages (ok, I admit, for the first time in a while...) Wow! Bella looks amazing! No wonder--you guys are bathed in so much love and support (physical and psychic). Keep up the good work.<br />--Sam B.<br />Posted Jun 30, 2009 2:58pm<br />by Lynne Boschee<br /><br />Sending love and good sleep vibes for all of you. So thrilled to her about Bella's progress.

From personally experience Zantac tastes horrible, burns going down and has to be given 2-3 times a day on a set schedule for it to work correctly. Pervacid is a much better choice. Its tastes much better, usually is only given once a day and works quicker and longer than Zantac. If Raglan is also a step, it has some pretty bad side effects (google it) and never worked for my kids. But everyone is different and it wouldn't hurt to try it. Some with EB have VERY, VERY slow digestion. With my daughter what should have taken 30 minutes to empty from her stomach took over an hour. Raglan is suppose to help with that, but in our case it didn't. A barium swallow can detect this along with reflux, but its not necessary unless the medications do not work. Or you'd like to see what's going on in there. Its non-invasive as well. Good luck!Sara Denslawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09625588629095084632noreply@blogger.com
