Doctors and Emily and Chris have agreed that Ella's last days would be better if she were in Albuquerque where their family can all be together. The trick is getting her here. There is a chance that she will be flown back to NM on the life flight along with both of her parents. Once here, she will be made comfortable and Aiden will be able to say good bye to the sister he just said hello to.
I know everyone wants to meet the beautiful baby that has arrived and been enveloped in so much love, but please respect Chris and Emily's privacy as they go through all of this. There will be no visitors allowed at the hospital and the family is keeping their phones off so they can just enjoy the time they do have. There will be a definite need for visitors and conversations in the weeks and years to come, but they need this time with just the four of them.
It is time to pray again, or still. Pray that Ella is flown back sooner rather than later and that her parents are able to both travel with her. Pray that she is strong throughout the flight and doesn't suffer. And please don't forget to thank God for the time Ella has been with us. It is easy to be angry. It is hard to forgive. Funny how that is what we are always hoping for though, forgiveness.
Thank you for your patience with me. I am trying to keep you as informed as possible, especially now, but I understand if it is difficult to not have someone to speak to. Please feel free to call me any time and I will gladly share what I can with you. 505-715-7976

We have never stopped praying for that precious baby and while we understand that they want to keep to themselves right now, we wish we could lift them up and provide support in their darkest hours. Love you guys.
ReplyDeleteOur hearts have been heavy after reading Ella's recent turn of health. She is such a precious angel that has taught and touched us so much. We wish we could be with you all at this time but we completely understand why we cannot. Chris and Emily are two of the strongest people we know but we are here for you if your strength ever falters. We love you.
