Ellie gets to have some items with her by her side during the surgery. We had the kids select something from their own possessions to send along with their sister.
Julia sent her first baby doll.
Xavier sent his favorite "gem" - some purple rock we found on a walk one day.
Jacob sent his putting contest pin he won.
Also included is a piece of palm, a handmade scarf from some holy women of the Garden State, Ellie's rosary (also from NJ) and my personal rosary.
Also with her that day will be her guardian angel and all your prayers.
