Help for Ellie and Parents

Donation protected
Ellie was born early and weighed 2lbs. 13 ozs. She has some genetic problems and a cleft palate which can be repaired after she gets beyond some of her other problems. She has been stuck, poked, cut on (several surgeries) and has had serious pneumonia problems from aspirating food into her lungs. She has been on a ventilator, etc. and we have been unable to hold her because of all the tubes and machines.  She now (5 months later) seems to be prospering and weighs over 8 lbs. Her prognosis has improved after her last surgery. She also had an operation to place a feeding tube into her stomach. I could go on and on (I'm her great-grandpa) about her problems. Thanks to the many who have been sending prayers for Ellie; she may get to go home in about 2 months. Her Papa, Ryan, works at Tinker in OKC and her Mom, Lauren, was a teacher's aide until Ellie's birth. Needless to say, the hospital bills are enormous but they have  insurance from Tinker to cover much of the expense. Big financial needs will come when Ellie comes home. Presently, Lauren and Grandma Karen Langrehr, have been spending most of every day at the hospital (Children's Hospital at the OU Medical Center in OKC) after a long drive to the hospital (about 50 miles round-trip ).
Any funds contributed now or later  will help with extra hospital bills, travel expenses and care costs when she comes home.
We are very thankful for all of the special prayers and are anxiously awaiting for her to come home.
