Hi Guys- I just got the courage to see Ella’s website. She (as well as you) are in my thoughts every day. Happy birthday to Ella. I hope the shunt surgery went well. Tell her I’m thinking about her!!! My 7 year old, Elia, looked at Ella’s website with me and said that Ella reminds her of herself. She said she would say a prayer for her. See you next week! Laura

My heart aches for you. I pray constantly for you and your family. I so appreciate your brutal honesty of your feelings in this dark moment. Life can be intensely brutal and positively joyous. Facing it with authenticity and honesty is the best we can do. I recovered from a deadly disease when I was 7. It affected my brain and left me on life support and in a coma for weeks. I was the first person in my state to survive its advanced stages. The doctors were convinced that I would be left greatly impaired. While I’m not perfect and have my share of challenges, I’m not ‘impaired’ as they predicted. Miracles happen. I remember waking from my coma to Charlie’s Angels. I motioned for someone to turn it up. That led to endless testing and evaluation, but eventually, I grew strong enough to go home. I pray Ella’s outcome will be similar. I pray that you and your family can endure these most dark and difficult moments, braving them with hope. Sending you our love. Jackie & Family

Glen, it’s heartbreaking to think of Ella having to go through more radiation. I’m so sorry, but remember, no one knows how she’ll fare, so hope for minimal problems, but as you are doing, be realistic as well. Miracles happen!

I came upon your website through my husband, Angelo. I read how much you appreciate the kind words people have sent your way and although I have never once done anything like this, I thought I would write a little note here. I wanted you to know that Angelo and I are thinking of you and your family and Ella constantly and through your pain we have been able to appreciate our little family even more. I debated if that was an appropriate thing to post here. Me enjoying my family more because of your pain. I finally decided that you may understand. I hope you understand. I think of Ella and what an amazing little girl she is and how much she means to you and your family and can’t help but feel thankful. And in awe of your strength and your dedication to your daughter. You are amazing. Keep fighting for her. You will get through this horrible limbo. Just know that there are so very many people out here thinking of you and trying to feel and understand your pain. Stay as strong as you possibly can and keep hope.

Glen – it’s probably been at least ten years since I last saw you and obviously a lot has changed in both of our lives. I have no idea what it’s like to go through what you guys are going through, but reading what you wrote gives me an idea. My whole family is thinking about you guys and “hoping” for Ella to be home with you as soon as possible. If there’s anything I can do, let me know.
