Dear Monica, I'll be thinking about little Ella. I hope she will be fine.
She has a beautiful name.

Praying that Ella has a perfect second kidney!! My niece has a son with same thing, and he is a perfect normal healthy young boy !!

[Marigold2]

This morning at 8:30 Ella was born. Seven lbs13 ounces.
Spoke to my son who is so happy and relieved.
They will see the kidney specialist next week.
But for now all is ok. Once they see the KS he will decide if and when the bad kidney needs to be removed.
Thank you everyone for you prayers, kind words and support.
You are a blessing and a joy in my life.
Hugs to all, Monica

Congratulations and thank you God! Glad to hear she is thriving so far.

Pretty name! It actually means "light", and that sure applies here! I looked up some info on it:

http://www.behindthename.com/nm/e2.php

ELLA (1)

Gender: Feminine

Usage: English

Pronounced: EL-ə [key]
Norman form of the Germanic name Alia, which was a short form of names containing the Germanic element ali meaning "other". It was introduced to England by the Normans and used until the 14th century, and it was later revived in the 19th century. A famous bearer was the American singer Ella Fitzgerald (1917-1996).

ELLA (2)

Gender: Feminine

Usage: English, Scandinavian

Pronounced: EL-ə (English) [key]
Diminutive of ELEANOR, ELLEN (1), and other names beginning with El. It can also be a short form of names ending in ella.

Where it came from:

HELEN

Gender: Feminine

Usage: English, Greek Mythology (Anglicized)

Pronounced: HEL-ən (English) [key]
English form of the Greek ‘Ελενη (Helene), probably from Greek ‘ελενη (helene) "torch" or "corposant", or possibly related to σεληνη (selene) "moon". In Greek mythology Helen was the daughter of Zeus and Leda, whose kidnapping by Paris was the cause of the Trojan War. The name was also borne by the 4th-century Saint Helena, mother of the Roman emperor Constantine, who supposedly found the True Cross during a trip to Jerusalem.

The name was originally used among early Christians in honour of the saint, as opposed to the classical character. In England it was commonly spelled Ellen during the Middle Ages, and the spelling Helen was not regularly used until after the Renaissance. A famous bearer was Helen Keller (1880-1968), an American author and lecturer who was both blind and deaf.
