Things are beginning to look up, finally! The situation didn’t look too hopeful at 7 a.m. when Ellis was complaining of nausea again and abdominal pain.
Suddenly, things took a positive turn with her sitting up and talking. There were lots of tears from both of us with fear of the unknown when the cardiologist came to discuss heart health issues. It’s something we’ll need to follow up with this summer. Sigh…
But for now, positive news! Ellis is having a few bites of pancake. I hope and pray this is the recovery phase of the episode.
Maybe we’ll have a family reunion tonight as Chris comes back home from chaperoning 4-H camp as Elliot attended his first summer camp for 4 1/2 days. I don’t know about the timing since they left 30 min before Ellis got sick. Timing felt off, but we still continued with doing our things: Chris to 4-H camp with Elliot and me to the hospital with Ellis. I texted Chris to tell him we were at the er until 11 p.m. on Sunday. His one word response in text: “what?”
Chris will probably tell Elliot what went down at home on their drive back later this afternoon.
Hoping to go home soon!
Thank you, everyone, for your words of encouragement and prayers! I appreciate you all. Esther

Hopefully you'll leave encouraged, pensive, or smiling at the simple things of life. Thank you for stopping by and hope you'll find some interesting posts to read!

Pancakes can cure a lot of ills; I’m glad Ellis is having a few bites. I’m also glad Elliott had a chance to go to camp, too. I’m sure he’ll have plenty of stories to tell! The hospital flowers are gorgeous, but I’m sure you’ll be glad to get home and enjoy the landscape there. We’re all hoping you get home sooner rather than later.

Totally unrelated… I randomly got this book at a thrift store… reading it tonight… it features silkworms so I immediately thought of you and your silkworms. Your kiddos might enjoy the book!
