It's been extremely hard for me being so far away from someone I consider a very close friend when she needs me! I have a few really close friends down there that I hate being far away from. I do have some close friends here too that I don't want to leave, ughh, its hard being so torn. But if we had already moved to the city in California that we are planning on moving to, I'd be about 20 mins from the hospital were Ella is! Oh how I wished we were already there! We are still actively looking for jobs down there, but we can't go until we get Makayla home because it would change our home study and everything! If we weren't going to California in just a few weeks, I'd be on a plane right now going down to help. But we'll be there soon, I just need to hang on until then.
Tanner asked me last night out of the blue if Ella was going to lose her hair. I don't know where he heard that, since when I told him she had cancer he didn't understand what I was saying. But autistic children are much smarter than we give them credit for, and I think he understands more than I think, he just holds it in!
And remember to email me, laceyrugg@hotmail.com if you want to help or send something to Ella!
Also, I am extending the auction to Friday, I've added so much new stuff that I need more time for people to bid, so keep on bidding!
Having fun looking through your awesome auction items. Hope this makes a substantial gift to help with your adoption!
ReplyDeleteAwwwwww....such a sweet post. We will see you soon enough and tell Tanner that I hope she doesn't lose her hair too!!!
ReplyDeleteLacey - after I read this post I realized that we are planning to donate Anne's hair when it is long enough (I think pretty soon)... if you find out that you can directly donate hair to someone, please tell Denise that I would be HAPPY to have Anne's hair go directly to Ella. Also, if there is ever a need for a bone marrow transplant, I am on the registry as a donor - I don't know if you can check directly for someone to be a match if they have registered to be a bone marrow donor, but thought I would mention it to keep in the back of your head as you are getting updates from denise. hopefully neither one will be needed (hair or bone marrow) but we are ready and willing to donate if we could help!!!
ReplyDeleteSweet post. Love me some sweet Ella! Lots of prayers...
