This is the story of Stella's illness and hospitalization:(

I have tried to make it as reader friendly without boring you with medical details. I had to document this experience with my iphone which is a poor substitute for my Cannon. The day I walked into the hospital I had no idea I would not leave it again for 9 days. I had my family bring a few items, but I wore and washed the same 2 or 3 t-shirts, 2 pairs of pants and don't even get me started on the socks - YUCK! Our friends and family were amazing during this difficult time. The city of Bristow made sure my kids were fed and countless prayers were offered on her and our behalf. I do believe that prayers are answered. I believe that angels (like her grandpa's Darrell and Papa Jack) are there waiting to help answer prayers.

I feel that if I name names feelings may be hurt if I forget someone. You know who you are and I will never forget you!

Scroll down to read the story from beginning to end - here being the end. More to come. Hopefully in a few days we will be in Ohio. I will try to keep this updated. Well wishes
