Prayers Please For Ellie - Day 217
Please pray for Ellie today. She has been either crying or sleeping since Friday and is miserable. It is the hardest thing as a mother or father to not be able to console your baby, and right now there is nothing we can do to make her feel better. I took her this morning for labs and a sick visit with her doctor in hopes that he may be able to give us some way to make her feel better, and unfortunately he said there is nothing we can do right now. He thinks this is all steroid induced, though I think she is also in pain from the vincristine/doxorubicin combo she has had the last three weeks. Her last dose of steroids for this phase is tomorrow morning and he thinks that hopefully by the weekend she will start to feel some relief. So please, even if you are not a praying person, send healing thoughts to Ellie.

The sisters at the monastery sent me a medal of St Colette to give to Ellie. Send an address to my gmail, Jeff. Meanwhile, you are all in our prayers.
