Update: Mellie has gone to be with Jesus. Please keep the family in your prayers and help support them during this terrible time. They have a newborn and will need time. Please share.

This family is one of our own from Childs Play Learning Academy . I asked the parents Brooke and Jeremiah Samarrippas for permission to do this. Mom just had another baby and now their Toddler is fighting and has a long road ahead of her. Anything will help.

Another update:

We received some hard news that Millie girl has some brain swelling, we need it to subside and not get any worse. Please add this specific prayer to the list.

Amelia update:

Thank you to everyone that’s been praying for our sweet girl! We still need lots of prayers.

For those of you that don’t know Amelia choked on Saturday and had CPR for somewhere around 27 mins. She was taken to Spartanburg Regional and then life flighted to Greenville Memorial where they have a PICU.

Amelia has a long road ahead, but we are counting every blessing as a win. Gods been good to us.

Starting with praises: her heart is functioning like normal, her BP is stable on its own, CT last night showed no internal bleeding and the doctors seem to have her meds adjusted better for the seizures.

Specific prayers: no more sezuire / myoclonus activity, continuing to stay stable and minimal brain impact.

We have a long road ahead, but we are so proud of our girl - she is fighting and showing us how strong she really is! She would say ‘Millie tough girl’
