Quick update to let you know that Ela and I (Leslee) are back in Philly for appointments this week with a heart cath on Tuesday to check her pressures and any signs of rejection. Pray all goes well and we can head home on Wednesday. We will continue these monthly visits through September, but hopefully this will be her last cath for a while! Her \u201csepsis wound\u201d is healing very well now, but still there so continued prayers for that are appreciated. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this nicer weather we have had, Ela has enjoyed running, jumping, climbing, and playing with her brothers in a way she has never gotten to before! She\u2019s so proud of showing off one of her new skills\u2014jumping with both feet off the ground at the same time. It\u2019s been such a joy and \u201cThank you, God\u201d moment to see for which we are forever grateful. Her most recent wake up song of the morning (unprompted, all her) is \u201cThis is Our God\u201d by Phil Wickham. I love that Ela is such a song bird and hearing her sing seems to always bring a smile to my face. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the lyrics to the song she\u2019s been singing in the mornings: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201dRemember those giants we called death and grave?<br>They were like mountains that stood in our way<br>But He came, and He died, and He rose<br>Those giants are dead now<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is our God, this is who He is<br>He loves us<br>This is our God, this is what He does<br>He saves us<br>He bore the cross, beat the grave<br>Let Heaven and Earth proclaim<br>This is our God, King Jesus\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/03\/IMG_8081-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/03\/IMG_8081-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/03\/IMG_8081-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/03\/IMG_8081-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/03\/IMG_8081-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/03\/IMG_8081-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/03\/IMG_8134-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-305\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/03\/IMG_8134-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/03\/IMG_8134-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/03\/IMG_8134-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/03\/IMG_8134-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/03\/IMG_8134-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/03\/IMG_8099-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/03\/IMG_8099-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/03\/IMG_8099-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/03\/IMG_8099-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/03\/IMG_8099-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/03\/IMG_8099-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi everyone!
