praying to baby jesus

Ellis continues to reveal his strength everyday! He is regaining more mobility in his hands and feet, and even tried to move his right shoulder today. He did have a little bit of a setback this morning when a portion of his right lung collapsed due to secretions. Since he can't swallow, some secretions make their way to his lungs. This is to be expected because his is intubated, and was corrected by moving him to his left side and periodically patting his chest.

My father made this rosary for Ellis. Here's a picture taken by one of his nurses.
