Brady and Melissa Beckstead: An update!

For those of you who have been asking for an update on Baby Ella, she is doing well! She is growing rapidly and Brady and Melissa are in LA eagerly awaiting the arrival of little Ella. If you don't remember, Ella has HLHS or Hypo Plastic Left Heart Syndrome, which basically means she will be born without the left side of her heart. 

She will have one open heart surgery a few days after she is born and hopefully she will be able to come home a few weeks after that. We miss the three of you immensely and cannot wait to meet Ella! I am looking forward to photographing her when she is strong enough to come home. 

Brady, Melissa and Ella, our thoughts are with you. Ella, you are so loved already, I hope one day you can look back and see how your family and this community came together out of love for you.

** An Update on the update
Ella will be delivered via C section on Tuesday September 13.
