Hey guys, whew has it been a very very rough couple weeks! So, Eille went unresponsive on me and my wife a couple weeks ago one night in the middle of the night. We had to administer CPR to her until EMS arrived there. We finally got a pulse back, but it was so very faint we could barely feel it. They transported her to Clinch Valley and ultimately got her back stable enough to least try for a med flight, but couldn’t due to the weather. So, Niswonger’s sent their own pediatric ambulance to transport her. So, as an update, currently she is in for another surgery for yet another procedure. There have been so many different tests and evals done I can barely keep up with it all…my wife knows much more about it than I do with her being a nurse. I constantly have to ask her what someone is saying or talking about. They are still doing neuro observations and testing as well. Her legs are very very stiff and physical therapy is working with her to try and improve on that aspect. I absolutely am mentally and physically worn out. We were really blessed to be able to get a room at the Ronald McDonald House here close to the hospital. It’s been one long winding rolling coaster, and there’s still a lot of unanswered questions and situations. There’s been tons of consults and still upcoming consults with possibly more procedures on the way. She still has a ng tube placed for her feedings. Pupils and eyes are reacting somewhat better to light now and she is beginning to follow movement and sounds with her eyes. It’s just super hard when even specialists here tell you that a lot of things are still very unsure and not out of the dark yet. She will be back on the vent after this procedure today. It’s just been incredibly hard dealing with all of this, but I know God has it in his hands and under his control. I know Donita you had asked if we needed anything….and honestly, we’d be so grateful for continued thoughts and prayers. I mean, I don’t want to sound selfish or needy, and maybe it’s something you guys could maybe do is take up donations or something. That would also help out a ton for us. Our pastor drive out here from Lebanon and saw us and prayed with us and things, which was incredibly awesome! It was completely out of the blue. Lots of prayers and prayer chains have been and are still going, and I pray they continue. This has been the most hard thing, especially mentally that I’ve ever had to go through and experience in my entire life. The stress and thoughts allow pretty much no sleep at all. Its wearing us both very thin. And as it would anyone, it’s made us feel completely helpless, but be here with her as much as we can. The doc/nurse team basically have to make us leave and go eat and get rest and sleep. I’ve cried so much that I can’t produce tears anymore. But I pray, and I keep my hope and faith in God, and know that he is our miracle maker and he can and will do it. Please pray and keep Ellie and our family in your thoughts.
