Prayers for Nate

Hello, all. It's Ellie's mom for a minute. Please, please say a prayer for baby Nate. He is the grandson of a dear teacher friend of mine and is fighting really hard right now to beat pnemonia and RSV. He has been hospitilized for 8 days now and is critical. This hits me hard because he is just 2 days older than Reid. He is in the PICU ward at Akron Childrens getting one on one care....but the family is really struggling with all this. Nate struggles to breathe, and has had 2 very close calls of not pulling through this awful illness. He has been taken off the Morphine because they are worried about him becoming dependant on it. He had a trache put in for aid in breathing, and the doctors are seeing how he does today with it removed. It may have to be placed back in if breathing is too laborsome. I can not imagine the feelings of the family involved. They are are wonderful group of people to know....so please say a prayer for Nate. Big brother who is 3 is also dealing with a lot of change in his life right now, too. So, prayers for Noah are also appreciated. I will update you as I hear more. Thanks for your love for this family.

Hello, and welcome to my page! I am so glad you are here. I am going to try and show you the average life of a 5 year old from my perspective. Mommy and Daddy will help me along the way if I get stuck.

Let me first introduce my family to you. I am Ellie. I am a 6 year old. I live in Ohio with my Mommy, Daddy, little brother Reid, and dog, Sophie. My mommy is a teacher. She teaches nine and ten year olds and loves it. She has been teaching for twelve years. My daddy works with computers. He works hard everyday.

We all love spending time together. I have wonderful grandparents and a terrific extended family. I am a very lucky girl. Thank you for visiting my page. Write to me any time. I love getting mail!!!

Many blessing to you all.

Love,
Little Ski (Ellie)
