Getting admitted, we were in the ER, now going to our room.

All settled in our room.

My neighbor Beth works at the hospital... what a nice break to have a visitor come. The hospital doesn't allow visitors - especially in this area. Ellen is in a special room b/c of the virus.

Resting again.

This makes me laugh everytime I see it... gotta have some humor. It is called a "No-No!" That is what they call it! So she doesn't rip out her IV. Like she needs be told "no no" at 5 weeks?!?!?!

Nate is such a good daddy - not afraid of the wires at all. He sits with her while I run home.There she is!... with her "NO NO!"


I am back home to take another shower. Ellen is comfortable. She has still been coughing a lot and vomited this afternoon b/c of the coughing. She is still weak. Her poor little nose is bloody now instead of just mucousy because of all the suction. She is a sick little baby. Please pray that she gets stronger and the coughing subsides. Here are some photos so you can see what it is like. She is in isolation and in an infection control room with special air. Everyone (except us) must wear gowns and masks when entering and exiting. Got to run!

  1. Just wanted to let you know that we are still praying. Mom asked about an update because she is praying too. Rest in the prayers of others. Let yourself feel the comfort of them around you. Love you!
