My granddaughter

[Marigold2]

My son and his wife are expecting their second child any day now.
Little Ella is very ill, one kidney is totally non-funtioning and they are not sure about the second one. If the second one is ok, she can lead an almost normal life, if the other kidney is damaged................
They have a kidney specialist lined up for her. Once she is born more testing will be done and hopefully all will be ok.
Ella was my mom's name. My mom died in 1994, she was born and raised in Germany and was in concentration camp starting at age 17 until she was 21. She was one of 11 children and the only one in her family that lived. My grandmother, my mom's mom died a few days after being released from concentration camp. She was born on 1/31/18??. I think it would be grand if little Ella was born on 1/31 as well. Molly is having some contractions so it will be any day now.
Please say a prayer for little Ella's other kidney to be strong and healthy. No baby should be born ill. Thanks everyone

The light of God surrounds Ella, the love of God enfolds her, the power of God protects her, the wisdom of God guides and directs her, wherever Ella is, God is, and all is well.

I'm so sorry about litle Ella. I do hope htat everything will look better once she is born but I think Medussa summed it up best. Will be keeping her in my prayers.

What a beautiful name.. Thoughts & prayers to you & your family.

We have two girls named Ella in within three houses of mine - a teenager, and a kindergartener.

And my old neighbor Kay lived her whole long life with one good kidney and one small, nonfunctioning one. She lived to be 82, had three healthy, strong children, and a good life.

We will keep your Ella in our prayers.

Sending good wishes and positive thoughts your way.

I hope she has at least 1 good, healthy kidney. I know that medicine has come a long way, but sometimes the doctors are wrong. They told my Mom that my brother would be too small to live so they didn't want to induce labor. Well, I don't know what they were working at because he was over 10 pounds when he was born!

So, I'm hoping they are wrong in this case too!

Precious Ella will be in my prayers.

I am hoping with all my heart little Ella's other kidney will be fine, all paws and fingers crossed here for this little girl to be ok, thinking of you all and wishing and hoping for the best possible outcome.
