| Sweet picture of Ella praying that was placed on her placemat at school. I love the school she goes to. Truly you see the wonderful things being taught. Ella asked me today, when she was looking up at the sky, which cloud Jesus lives in. So precious!:) |

Well we have finished another full week at school! Words can't express my happiness that Ella got to enjoy her school Easter party and egg hunt and time with family this afternoon.
On the way to school this morning, Ella looked rough. She was complaining of a tummy ache and her legs hurting. She closed her eyes while I just drove around wondering what I should do - take her home? or take her to school? I said a prayer for Jesus to look after her and make her better and I sent her off to school.
Her brother and I ran a couple errands before we needed to be back at her school for the egg hunt and party. When we returned , Ella was coloring quietly at a table and I was still worried (usually she is never sitting). But I thought well until I see a fever or something major we will stay. I continued to pray my private prayers in my head. Every minute that passed Ella began to show me she was feeling better. Her goofy personality was coming back. Her active little self was returning. My immediate thought was 'oh thank goodness I made her drink that cherry juice on the way to school, I bet that helped'. No, I am wrong, I should of immediately thought 'thank you Jesus for making her better'. Forgive me. I have been giving the tart cherry juice far too much credit, when in all truthfulness it is Him who is helping my baby! I have a motherly instinct that we are not out of the woods with this yet but my heart and my brain are finally on the same page - God is in control and God is listening! I am so grateful that Ella has had a nice long break with these dreadful fevers. I will continue to pray that it continues so she can enjoy Easter with our family!
Happy Easter family and friends!
I just wanted to share that I give my daughter tart cherry juice as well. Our doctor also said to wait to take out the tonsils for the same reason. Abbie got very tired of the cherry juice and stopped liking cherries. I did some more research and found tart cherry concentrate in....chewables....and it doesn't taste like cherries. It's actually pretty tasty. I found it at drugstore.com and thought you would like to know if you are still trying this with your little girl. My Abbie frequently goes almost two months without an episode now after a year and a half of tart cherry and is now taking it without complaining!
