Last night several of our neighbors in Ardrey held a beautiful prayer vigil with candle in front of our home. It was touching to see how many gather together in prayers for God's miracle on earth.
It has been weeks since our Ellie has said to me, "mommy, I love you". But late last night... Our Ellie full of love came to visit and was full of unsolicited "I love you" to our family. The power of prayer can never be underestimated... Dare to Believe in Miracles.
In time you will learn of the powerful God filled day last Friday...as we sat vigil by our Ellie, our pastor pray over Ellie and ask her questions like, "Ellie have you accepted Jesus into your life? How do you picture heaven? And so much more... The exchange amongst our family was inspiring and a testament to Gods love.
As many came to visit, tears poured down as they left fearing that This was the last time to see her on earth.
There is so much to the story, but what happened was God at work and our Ellie's ability to fight till the end against cancer. That night in candle light my Mom, Dad, brother and his wife arrived to our home. We sat in silence and prayer.
Tim, myself and Grace slept in the living room next to our Ellie (sleeping in the recliner.) Into the wee hours of the night, instead of getting worse Ellie appeared to be feeling better. Her heart rate slowed down and breathing became easier. By morning our Ellie did not need oxygen and was talking and finding some joy in the day. For those who dared to believe and prayed for a miracle - Thank you.
Ellie has a huge battle ahead and though her heart rate and breaths are shallow - she is fighting and alert! Ellie said to me last night in the darkness, "mommy it feels like something is so heavy on my chest, it becomes hard to breathe. Mommy I do not want to die."
Our Ellie has not heard from God the call to heaven. Our Ellie is still fighting... And so will I!
We are presently in the car on a last minute decision to take Ellie to see a surgeon about her hip tumor. It is painfully grotesque and huge... It is red and veiny and we fear if it would burst at home ... The pain, the trauma and fear experienced by us all. We pray that something can be done in moderation that will help alleviate Ellie's leg pains.
We also need to have a chest scan to see if she could undergo anesthesia should surgery be an option. I really do not want the results... God will show us in time. But we will learn the results anyways in order to understand the direction if any to tame this cancer tumor.
Please pray ... We have just arrived. Amy
