Tuesday, April 3rd
It is 4:30 in the morning, east coast time, Ellie seems to be getting physically stronger, however, an unusual twist has taken hold. She appears to be experiencing ICU psychosis. The doctors are working to get her through this – sometimes it just resolves on it’s on. She desperately needs some undisturbed, restful sleep to counter this experience. It has taken John and Sarah and the family to a new level of distress. Please pray for their strength to make it through this night and this next morning. The plan this morning is to stop all meds and once again proceed with the extubation of the breathing tube in Ellie. Yesterday, doctors atttempted to place another tube through Ellie’s nose into her instestines to facilitate better nutritional care. It has taken several attempts and it is still not positioned correctly. They administered some medication to hopefully help the tube seat itself properly in her body. Thank you all for your faithfulness through this experience with us.

Praying for Ellie.
What an awesome and loving Father we have watching over us! The chain that HE uses to pass Ellie's name and needs to people all over the world is amazing. HE is making sure that you have the prayer support needed to get through this terrible time in your life. In one of your initial posts you said that you asked God to be glorified in Ellie's life, for all to see. Well, dear sister and brother in Christ, HE indeed is doing just that. The strength that HE is giving you is an inspiration to us all and to non-believer too, I am sure. Only a real GOD would be able to carry a family through what HE is carrying you through. Continue to let that light shine and know that love and prayers are flowing up to the throne room of grace for precious Ellie. In Rev. 5:8 scripture tells us, "they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints." I believe because of Ellie, an awful lot of new bowls have been filled.
