Whenever I feel down and out, or feel that life isnt fair. I go to caringbridge.org and read updates on on the children that I am following and praying for. Immediately I realize that I have alot to be thankful for. At the top of my list of things I am thankful for are my kids health and my health. How many of us take our health for granted? How many of us "whine" about petty ailments. Imagine everyday being in excruiciating pain, nausea/throwing up, no energy to get up, and that is just a few of the hundreds of symptoms, problems that children with cancer deal with 24 hours day/ 7 days a week.
My heart goes out to Ellie who is 8 years old. Ellie has Rhabdomyosarcoma. She has been fighting this horrible monster since July 2, 2008. Having to endure the most harshest chemo that makes her horribly sick. And even with the nasty chemo and all that Ellie has had to deal with due to the chemo, her cancer hasnt gone away like it is suppose to. Instead it has come back twice with a vengenace. And as of last nights update, hospice has let it be know that Ellie has 3-6 weeks left. She has a beautiful twin sister and an amazing mom/dad. She has emphasized on more than one occasion how she is not ready to die yet and wants to continue to fight but this horrible monster has a mind of its own and has taken over Ellies body.
Please take a few minutes out of your day to stop by Ellies caringbridge page. Letting Ellie know that she is being prayed for and being thought of as well as her twin sister Grace and her mom/dad is something so small but that can have a powerful affect on Ellie and her family.
