Dear God, I pray that you lay your hands upon sweet baby ELLA, that the tumor reacts exactly how the doctors wish with the treatments given to her. That Ella recovers quickly, that Brian and Michelle come through this together stronger because of their relationship and trust in you. May the day come soon that she walks out of the hospital healed by your Amazing Grace Dear Lord. Amen
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths”. Proverbs 3:5-6

Ella Fights Back 
I heard Ella”s story today and she will be in my prayers daily. I will pass on the web site to our church, my mothers church and my sisters bible study group and friends that
I know will pray for her healing.
Thank you for creating this site!!! We are all anxious and hopefull that Sweet Baby Ella will fight this with everything she has. My prayer and hope for Ella is that one day this ordeal will only be a story Brian and Michelle tell her about how brave and strong she is!! This will not even be a real memory for her, and I am thankful for that.
We Love You All!!!
Chris and Laurie Valenzi-Buell
Thank you Kelly. We will take all the prayers and positive thoughts we can get!
Ella went to the clinic on June 1st for bloodwork. She was running a slight fever. Bloodwork came back with low platelets, hemoglobin, WBC, RBC, and ANC. This of course is expected since chemotherapy not only kills the cancer cells but also the healthy ones as well. But since she was also running a fever, she was admitted to the hospital for blood transfusion, iv fluids and antibiotics. We came home today, fever free. We are to return to the clinic Tuesday for more bloodwork. And then scheduled to start the 2nd round of chemotherapy on Friday June 10th. Please Please Please continue to pray for my baby Ella. She is such a fighter. She is doing well. Everything is in her favor. Prayers are helping 🙂 Thank you so much!
Praying day and night for mom, dad and baby Ella. I know that God will carry you all through this. Love you! Vicki
We pray for you every night baby Ella. We love you.
Love your cousins,
Jackson and Anna Kate

I just finished reading this story and will keep Baby Ella and your entire family in my prayers! Will also pass your story on to my church! Will also pray the Prayer of Protection which says:
The light of God surrounds us;
The love of God enfolds us;
The power of God protects us;
The presence of God watches over us.
Wherever we are, God is.
And all is well.
Many blessings and positive thoughts to Baby Ella and your family!!
Just saw your website from Mr Richards site. I am a mom of a six year old who has had Medulloblastoma the past several years and she is being treated at Arnold Palmer as well (outpatient at this time.) I am sorry to hear of your beautiful daughter Ella’s struggle and for you and your husband as well. Just had to send you a note to let you know that you will be prayed for. God has certainly carried us through our journey as well and I am so glad to see that you trust in Him too. God bless you all and continue to have faith and exhaust all possibilities!
Praying for God’s healing hand to touch ❤ Ella ❤ and those helping her fight this battle!
Love and prayers, hope to see you Sunday!

Praying for your sweet baby and just made a donation.
Michelle and Brian,
I am Kim Warren’s Mom. Kim told me about Ella’s diagnosis. I just looked at all of the beautiful photos…..I’ve never seen so many pictures! What a beauty Ella is. I pass by the billboard on Michigan everyday, and pray every time I see her photo. I have been in a ladies bible study/ prayer group for years at Orlando Baptist Church. We are quite the prayer warriors, and will pray for Ella, you and Brian.
Michelle , I wish I could write a million words to encourage you….I’ve been reading my journal and Bible looking for words of wisdom to share. Some of the scripture I’ve called upon when I worried…”Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with Thanksgiving, present your requests to God” If you do, the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
When I long to hear His voice, I turn to the books of Isaiah, Collossians, Romans, Hebrews or James and I read until He speaks to me.
I am so thankful you know God and know that He is able. “Be still and know that I am God”
“Have I not commanded you, be strong and of courage, do not be afraid or dismayed, for the Lord you God is with you wherever you go. ” Joshua 1:9
In His love and mine,
Janet
Oh Michelle, Brian and Ella,
My heart and prayers go out to you. My heart hurts for you and then at the same time , especially Brian, as I read that you quoted Isaiah 40: 28-31., makes me so thankful to know you know God and Trust Him. I pray daily for you. Michele, I pray you will take one day at a time, and put all of your trust in God. I pray you will give all of your worries to Him. I think of the scripture “Do not let your hearts be troubled, do not be anxious for anything.”
I would like to take you ,Kim and Ella to lunch . My days off are Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please call me at 407-859-5586 (my office),
Kim Warren’s Mom,
Love and prayers,
Janet Medlock
P.S. Have you heard of the devotional Jesus Calling? (Author Sarah Young) A friend gave me a copy a few years ago. It is amazing and helped me with worry.
