Ellie**Updated 6:30 on 2/20**

She is in the hospital fighting for her life. Her diabetes is slowly taking her body over. If you could keep her in your thoughts and prayers that would be amazing!

I will keep you all posted.

**Thank you all so much for the thoughts and prayers! Keep them coming. Well this morning she stopped breathing so she has been on a breathing machine all day long. If we give her insulin her number either goes very low or very high. She is spilling high amounts of ketones in her urine as well. She is also been throwing up. Doctor are not sure what is going on exactly but we are just watching her very closely to make sure she doesn't go into coma. I will let you know if anything changed. Thanks again!

 

**Update 2/19- This morning Ellie woke up around 8 at 421 which is extremely high.  So they gave her insulin and it went down to 32 which is too low. This has been going on all day but the numbers change. She has been between 21-452 all day long. She is also still spilling large amounts of ketones in her urine. Which means that her body is not responding the way we want it to. To the insulin. She stopped breathing again so she is still on the breathing machine. She has also had a fever all day and is throwing up. She screams in how much pain she is. It breaks my heart in to millions of pieces. Thank you all so much for the love and support! If things change I will let you know but for updates you can follow me on twitter @SammiRachelleK or follow my blog:https://sammiandbrandonplus5.blogspot.com/

Today's Update-2/20!---Els-It has been 5 days in the hospital. You have been so incredibly brave. I am so so so so proud of you. You don't even act like a 13 month old. You go Girl! Today was rough for us. You kept pointing to your ear so we took a look and now you have an ear infection! Els, really princess more things for me to worry about. You had a very high to low day again today but the good thing was your fever is slowly going down. It was a 103.6 at noon and now is at 102.1 so we are getting there! Slowly but surely. Ellie's ketone spillage reached an all time high for you today and now it is just a matter of making sure it doesn't increase. It can go down or stay the same. But no going up. Ellie's highest number was 421 and lowest was 22. Right now everything is trial and error. Something effect you and some don't. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers!
