This is the day the Lord has made; Let us be glad and rejoice! Alleluia! Christ is risen today. Alleluia! Alleluia!

Our Easter celebration included dinner at Uncle Lou’s.

As always, the food and drink were wonderful.

We were really pleased to see Ella “tuck in” and have a nice big meal.

She ate a ham and mashed potatoes. Then she ate a big portion of Uncle David’s Lasagne. Then she ate a large serving of green salad.

Ella ate so much we were afraid she might not have room for her Easter candy.

Rest easy, Ella managed to have a bit of after dinner chocolate as well.

Thank you for your prayers.

God bless you.

Headed Home on Good Friday

Friday, 18 April 2014

By Good Friday, Ella’s vital signs were almost back to their normal baseline. Her O2 sats on room air were in the high 90’s. Her lungs were clear and there was not even a trace of blood in her trach secretions.

With her “week one” chemo treatments complete and her vital signs were stable, the doctors agreed Ella should be at home for Easter weekend.

However, before letting Ella depart Kapiolani Medical Center (KMC), the doctors gave Ella one more unit of platelets – just to “top off the tank” better safe than sorry.

Ella was delighted to be home again.

We start each morning with prayers of thanks to God for another day and for all the people who are praying for Ella.

Thank you for your prayers.
