Ellis's wishes.

Well everyone, Ellis has asked that I (mum) update her blog.

As you may be aware Ellis elected to come to Hotel Papworth yesterday afternoon, after much thought and deliberation Ellis decided that she no longer wanted to continue treatment. Mainly because they have not really been effective over the past few weeks and daily chores have become extremely difficult. This decision wasn't taken lightly, but as you guys will also know, The only way is Ellis!

So Ellis is now chilled, eating ice lollies, relaxing and of course listening to her beloved music & as expected she has been as brave and outspoken as ever, (ashamed to say the same can't be said for us though).

Her beloved little brother Cael is safe and sound at his aunties & Ellis has spoken to him on the phone, telling him how much she loves him and to be a good boy. Mandy, sis, was with her last night with some close family and friends who she loves dearly.

For the first time in quite a long while Ellis is happy, relaxed, breathing easy and in no pain. However hard, we know this IS the right decision.

Finally, Ellis wants me to express her gratitude & love to you all for your support & comments, as this helped her through her journey greatly.

Thanks all.

  1. Hey Ellis(' Mum). I know we only met briefly that one time at Jenni's party but I just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you and sending my best wishes.
    I hope everything goes exactly the way you want it to.

You were always one of my favourites due to your cheerfulness, honesty, resilience and quiet determination as well as generally being a lovely girl! Enjoy the lollies and music!

  4. I just wanted to leave a comment as I found your blog through Tori & have been reading back through the previous posts. I've had a transplant myself but different organs. Thanks for sharing your journey with such honesty.
