Ella and Shari are home. The steroids really helped and she is feeling a lot better. Thanks for your prayers!

Please Pray for Little Ella

***UPDATE*** This is Sarah again. I just got back from the hospital (I stayed to help mom with Ella). The results from the CT scan are in. There is no abscess between her spine and jaw area. That is really good news because Ella was really hungry and she couldn't eat until we knew if she had to go into emergency surgery or not. Ella is doing really good. The IV is kicking in and she is a lot more active and is smiling! Her croup is still kinda bad, but the steroids are helping a lot. There was a major difference in how she felt within the three hours that I was there! Ella and Mom will be home tomorrow morning.

Thanks for your prayers! We really appreciate them!

Hey ya'll! This is Sarah here (Ella's oldest sister). I wanted to ask you to pray for Ella. She has had really bad croup the past few days, and my mom took her to the hospital today. They did some x-rays and found something in around her spine. The doctors decided to keep her in the hospital for the night so they could watch her and make sure everything is okay. 

She just had a CT scan (I am not sure how to spell that :) done and they are going to put her on an IV to get some steroids into her. Hopefully everything goes well and the CT scan reports are fine!

Please pray for Ella to get better soon because she just feels terrible. Please pray for my mom because she is going to stay overnight with her. And please pray for our family, especially Grace and Joe (the little ones), because its hard not having mom home.

Thanks for you prayers! I will post pictures tonight hopefully after we go visit her at the hospital!

Long Time, No Post

Hey everyone! It's been so long since we have posted anything. A lot has happened and we can't wait to show ya'll some pictures. Ella has grown so much! We will post pictures in the next few days! 

Have a great week,
