"Miss Eloise" was posing as multiple family members of someone with serious medical issues.  Miss Eloise was not being genuine and stole information and pictures from other websites.  We have learned that Miss Eloise has been using the same story on other websites to solicit money and gifts.  We would like to remind our members to please guard themselves on the internet and not give out personal or financial information freely.  Here are some links to internet safety information we recommend reading:

ORIGINAL POST IN THIS THREAD:

 

Eloise has been taken by medical transport to the UK for the organ transplant that we pray will save her.

Her family is with her and this is very risky surgery but it is her only chance. We had the miracle that the organs became available, and God Bless the family that was kind enought to think of others in their time of loss. Now we need a miracle that she will survive the surgery and recover.

Keep praying folks as hard as you can.

Raven, is this the double lung or the pancreas or all of them - do you know?

 

And while we're at it folks, let's not forget that some child lost their life and that's why the organs are available so let's remember that child & that child's family in our prayers too.

Psalm 139
The Inescapable God
To the leader. Of David. A Psalm.

1 O Lord, you have searched me and known me.
2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
you discern my thoughts from far away.
3 You search out my path and my lying down,
and are acquainted with all my ways.
4 Even before a word is on my tongue,
O Lord, you know it completely.
5 You hem me in, behind and before,
and lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is so high that I cannot attain it.

7 Where can I go from your spirit?
Or where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there;
if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning
and settle at the farthest limits of the sea,
10 even there your hand shall lead me,
and your right hand shall hold me fast.
11 If I say, ‘Surely the darkness shall cover me,
and the light around me become night’,
12 even the darkness is not dark to you;
the night is as bright as the day,
for darkness is as light to you.

13 For it was you who formed my inward parts;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
that I know very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes beheld my unformed substance.
In your book were written
all the days that were formed for me,
when none of them as yet existed.
17 How weighty to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18 I try to count them—they are more than the sand;
I come to the end—I am still with you.

19 O that you would kill the wicked, O God,
and that the bloodthirsty would depart from me—
20 those who speak of you maliciously,
and lift themselves up against you for evil!
21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against you?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred;
I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my thoughts.
24 See if there is any wicked way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.

 

 

 

Same chapter, from an online Gaelic bible:

Uile-Eolas
1 Do stiúrthóir an chóir. Salm le Dáiví.
Scrúdaíonn tú mé, a Thiarna, agus is eol duit mé.
2 más luí dom, más suí dom, is eol duit é;
is eol duit mo rún is mé i bhfad uait.
3 Más siúl dom, más suan dom, feiceann tú;
is eol duit mo shlite go léir.
4 Sula gcluintear focal ar mo theanga,
a Thiarna, is eol duit ar fad é.
5 Imdhruideann tú ar chúl is ar bhéal mé;
agus leagann tú do lámh orm de shíor.
6 Is ró-iontach, ró-uasal liom an t-eolas seo;
agus téann sé thar m’acmhainn a thuiscint.
7 Cá háit a rachaidh mé ó do spiorad?
ná cá háit a dteithfidh mé ó do láthair?
8 Má ghabhaim in airde neimhe beidh tú ann romham;
má luím san uaigh, beidh tú ansin romham freisin.
9 Má ghabhaim umam sciatháin na maidine,
agus cónaí i gcríocha imchiana na farraige,
10 ansin féin beidh do lámh do mo sheoladh;
agus béarfaidh tú orm le do dheasláimh.
11 Má deirim go bhfolóidh an dorchacht mé,
agus go mbeidh solas an lae ina oíche umam,
12 ní dorcha leatsa an dorchacht:
is comhsholas duit lá agus oíche.
13 Óir is tú a dheilbhigh go hiomlán mé;
agus a d’fhuaigh i mbroinn mo mháthar mé.
14 Tugaim buíochas duit de bharr iontas mo dhéantúis;
de bhrí gurb éachtach iad d’oibreacha.
B’eol duit go hiomlán m’anamsa;
15 níor ceileadh ort fiú amháin mo chreat,
nuair a cumadh os íseal mé, gur múnlaíodh i mbroinn na talún mé.
16 Chonaic do shúile mo ghníomhartha;
óir scríobhadh iad uile i do leabhar;
agus cinneadh dom mo laethanta go léir,
sular tháinig ceann amháin acu ann.
17 Nach diamhrach liom do chomhairlí, a Thiarna;
má dhéanaim a gcomhaireamh ní thig liom a n-áireamh;
18 ní lia gaineamh na trá ná iad;
dá mbeinn réidh leo bheinn farat go fóill.
19 Is mairg, a Dhia, nach scriosann tú na hurchóidigh;
is mairg nach n-imíonn uaim fir na fola.
20 Óir déanann siad ceannairc i d’aghaidh go fealltach;
agus tugann do naimhde mionna éithigh.
21 Nach fuath liom, do lucht fuatha, a Thiarna;
nach déistin liom a n-éiríonn i d’éadan?
22 Is amhlaidh atá an ghráin shaolta agam orthu;
dar liomsa is deargnaimhde dom iad
23 Scrúdaigh mé, a Dhia, agus féach mo chroí;
déan mo thástáil, agus féach mo smaointe.
24 Féach an bhfuil drochslí á siúl agam;

I don't know. I am thinking they will go for the lung and pancreas both as both are badly needed. The poor child has been through so much and is in very serious condition. This family has had so much sadness to deal with I pray God gives her the strength to pull though and heal.

Eloise got out of surgery at about 6am Ireland time. They did the double lung and pancreas transplant. She did well and her color has returned to normal which is a good sign. She is of course still critical so do keep those prayers coming.

Please also do not forget to add prayers for the family of the little boy or girl who, even in their grief, thought of others and made the transplant possible.

Good to hear.  Praying the Lord will continue carrying!  Eloise, you have to get better enough to get up and read this!

Dear Eloise,

 

I believe I told you a few times that I thought that you are a strong and brave girl. You are also an amazing fighter! Keep getting better!!! We all want you to get better. Seeing the post about your surgeries and hearing that you are getting better made my day. 

 

Will continue to pray for you, your family, and the donor's family.

 

Also, thanks again for everyone who has been letting us know about Eloise's progress.

Have courage little Eloise!
Our Messiah's arms are bigger, He can hold you through the dark times, you are a courageous girl and your celiac family is routing for you all the way. May whatever God decides to come, may you be peaceful inside. Keep the little light burning for Him, He will take good care of you on your journey home. (home to Heaven or home to your earthly home).

squirmingitch Veteran

I have every faith that Eloise is going to continue to improve & she is going to go home to Ireland and grow and laugh and do wonderful things! She has already beaten so many odds. She survived to 14, she's survived many infections, she survived the trip to the UK to get the transplant, she survived TWELVE hours of transplant surgery! Eloise believes in miracles and I believe in Eloise. She's strong and she's tough, a little fighter if ever there was one. She is going to live to complete her bucket list you just watch and see. She told us she would and she's never lied to us. I believe in you Eloise! 

 

My prayers are ongoing for Eloise, her mummy and her family. Prayers of comfort & peace for the family of the child whose life was lost which made this transplant possible. There is another angel in Heaven now.

 

Our sweet baby girl Eloise is an angel on this earth. I think I will start calling her Earth Angel.

powerful message.

squirmingitch Veteran

News this morning form Eloise's sister.

She thanks us for all the prayers & well wishes. They have made her cry happy tears. she & her grandfather go tomorrow to the UK to be with Eloise & and granny will go back to Ireland to be with her daughter, the girls' mummy. Eloise's father will stay with Eloise.

Please continue to pray for the girls mother. She is weakening. Eloise is still hanging in there & there are no new infections! 

 

She says this:

"These are some of Eloise's and mummy's favorite songs. Daddy sings the first song to us every night. These songs help us, maybe they might help you too."

 

She ends asking us to please continue praying for her mother & Eloise.

Eloise's granny is now back in Ireland. She thanks us all for our prayers and thoughts. Our little Eloise is on an ECOM machine and they will try to begin the process of taking her off the machine on Friday. I imagine this is a gradual process sort of weaning her off the machine. I don't personally know much about that process though. Eloise is heavily sedated. I'm not sure if that means they are keeping her in a medically induced coma or not at this point.

 

Eloise's mummy is unconscious and her condition is deteriorating. 

 

Eloise's grandmother says, "Thank you for your continued love and prayers.  It is a phenomenal feeling of angels around our girls and all of us. Please pray for continued expertise and guidance for all of the Nurses, Doctors, ECMO Specialists, palliative care team etc and a special prayer for the little girl who saved my grandchilds life."

Keep fighting little one. We are still praying that you will be successful and return to us soon.

Please pray also for Eloise's Mum that her passing will be peaceful and that her family will find some comfort in these trying times.

Dear Eloise,

 

as always, prayers are sent your way for you and all your family. You have been so brave, strong, supportive of others, and positive so please keep on fighting. I truly hope and pray that you will be posting on here soon. You touched the hearts of many. These days, kids and even some adults do not realize how good they have it and do not know how to appreciate things. You appreciate and see beauty in everything. Keep on fighting!

Is é an Tiarna do Dhia i do midst ,
    ceann mighty a shábháil;
beidh sé rejoice thar tú le Úthas ;
    beidh sé ciúin tú ag a ghrá;
beidh sé exult thar tú le canadh os ard .

 

English:

 

The Lord your God is in your midst,
    a mighty one who will save;
he will rejoice over you with gladness;
    he will quiet you by his love.

squirmingitch Veteran

They tried to gradually take our Earth Angel off the ECMO machine today but they had to turn it back up. Eloise's organs need more rest before she will be ready. 

 

Please continue your prayers for Eloise and her entire family.

The lyrics:

 

Many nights we've prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopefull song
We barely understood

Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains long
Before we knew we could

There can be miracles, when you believe
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe

In this time of fear
When prayers so often prove(s) in vain
Hope seems like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away

Yet now I'm standing here
My heart's so full I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say

There can be miracles, when you believe
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe

They don't (always happen) when you ask
(Oh)
And it's easy to give in to your fears
(Oh...Ohhhh)
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see your way straight throught the rain
(A small but )still resilient voice
Says (hope is very near)
(Ohhh)

There can be miracles
(Miracles)
When you believe
(Lord, when you believe)
Though hope is frail
(Though hope is frail)
It's hard to kill
(Hard to kill, Ohhh)
Who knows what miracles,you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will(somehow,somehow, somehow)
somehow you will
You will when you believe

You will when you
You will when you believe
Just believe...in your heart
Just believe
You will when you believe~

      Thank you all for your advice and the dermatitis herpetiformis article. The latter made me realise I had stopped taking my antihistamine, which I will restart today. The Dapsone has cleared the rash entirely but I still get quite a bit itching, absolutely nothing to see though. I know its notoriously hard to clear and its still relatively early days for me.  The iodine issue is very interesting. I do eat quite a bit of salt because I have Addison's disease and sodium retention is an issue. I also have autoimmune hypothyroidism, not sure how a low iodine diet would play into that? Because of my Addison's I am totally steroid dependent, I take steroids 4 x daily and cannot mount any defence against inflammation. I need to increase my meds for that. Now that I know what is wrong I can do just that if Im having a bad day. Life is very sweet, just so damn complicated sometimes! Hey ho, onwards. Thank you again for your advice.

      So, essentially all of the nutrition in the food we eat is absorbed through the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestinal track that is damaged by celiac disease. This villous lining is composed of billions of finger-like projections that create a huge amount of surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the celiac person, when gluten is consumed, it triggers an autoimmune reaction in this area which, of course, generates inflammation. The antibodies connected with this inflammation is what the celiac blood tests are designed to detect but this inflammation, over time, wears down the finger-like projections of the villous lining. Of course, when this proceeds for an extended period of time, greatly reduces the absorption efficiency of the villous lining and often results in many and various nutrient deficiency-related health issues. Classic examples would be osteoporosis and iron deficiency. But there are many more. Low D3 levels is a well-known celiac-caused nutritional deficiency. So is low B12. All the B vitamins in fact. Magnesium, zinc, etc.  Celiac disease can also cause liver inflammation. You mention elevated ALP levels. Elevated liver enzymes over a period of 13 years was what led to my celiac diagnosis. Within three months of going gluten free my liver enzymes normalized. I had elevated AST and ALT. The development of sensitivities to other food proteins is very common in the celiac population. Most common cross reactive foods are dairy and oats but eggs, soy and corn are also relatively common offenders. Lactose intolerance is also common in the celiac population because of damage to the SB lining.  Eggs when they are scrambled or fried give me a gut ache. But when I poach them, they do not. The steam and heat of poaching causes a hydrolysis process that alters the protein in the egg. They don't bother me in baked goods either so I assume the same process is at work. I bought a plastic poacher on Amazon to make poaching very easy. All this to say that many of the issues you describe could be caused by celiac disease.

      thank you so much for your detailed and extremely helpful reply!! I can say with absolute certainty that the less gluten containing products I've eaten over the past several years, the better I've felt.   I wasn't avoiding gluten, I was avoiding refined grains (and most processed foods) as well as anything that made me feel bad when I ate it. It's the same reason I gave up dairy and eggs- they make me feel ill.  I do have a bit of a sugar addiction lol so a lot of times I wasn't sure if it was the refined grains that I was eating - or the sugar. So from time to time I might have a cookie or something but I've learned how to make wonderful cookies and golden brownies with BEANS!! and no refined sugar - I use date paste instead. Pizza made me so ill- but I thought it was probably the cheese. I gave up pizza and haven't missed it. the one time I tried a slice I felt so bad I knew I'd never touch it again. I stopped eating wheat pasta at least 3 yrs ago- just didn't feel well after eating it. I tried chick pea pasta and a few others and discovered I like the brown rice pasta. I still don't eat a lot of pasta but it's nice for a change when I want something easy. TBH over the years I've wondered sometimes if I might be gluten intolerant but really believed it was not possible for me to have celiac disease. NOW I need to know for sure- because I'm in the middle of a long process of trying to find out why I have a high parathyroid level (NOT the thyroid- but rather the 4 glands that control the calcium balance in your body) I have had a hard time getting my vit D level up, my serum calcium has run on the low side of normal for many years... and now I am losing calcium from my bones and excreting it in my urine (some sort of renal calcium leak) Also have a high ALP since 2014. And now rapidly worsening bone density.  I still do not have a firm diagnosis. Could be secondary HPT (but secondary to what? we need to know) It could be early primary HPT. I am spilling calcium in my urine but is that caused by the high parathyroid hormone or is it the reason my PTH is high>? there are multiple feedback loops for this condition.    so I will keep eating the bread and some wheat germ that does not seem to bother me too much (it hasn't got enough gluten to use just wheat germ)    but I'm curious- if you don't have a strong reaction to a product- like me and wheat germ- does that mean it's ok to eat or is it still causing harm even if you don't have any obvious symptoms? I guess what you are saying about silent celiac makes it likely that you can have no symptoms and still have the harm... but geez! you'd think they'd come up with a way to test for this that didn't require you to consume something that makes you sick! I worry about the complications I've been reading about- different kinds of cancers etc. also wondering- are there degrees of celiac disease?  is there any correlation between symptoms and the amnt of damage to your intestines? I also need a firm diagnosis because I have an identical twin sister ... so if I have celiac, she has it too- or at least the genetic make up for having it. I did have a VERY major stress to my body in 2014-2016 time frame .. lost 50lbs in a short period of time and had severe symptoms from acute protracted withdrawal off an SSRI drug (that I'd been given an unethically high dose of, by a dr who has since lost his license)  Going off the drug was a good thing and in many ways my health improved dramatically- just losing 50lbs was helpful but I also went  off almost a dozen different medications, totally changed my diet and have been doing pretty well except for the past 3-4 yrs when the symptoms related to the parathyroid issue cropped up. It is likely that I had low vit D for some time and that caused me a lot of symptoms. The endo now tells me that low vit D can be caused by celiac disease so I need to know for sure! thank you for all that great and useful information!!!

      Welcome, @catnapt! The most recent guidelines are the daily consumption of a minimum of 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of two weeks. But if possible stretching that out even more would enhance the chances of getting valid test results. These guidelines are for those who have been eating gluten free for a significant amount of time. It's called the "gluten challenge".  Yes, you can develop celiac disease at any stage of life. There is a genetic component but also a stress trigger that is needed to activate the celiac genes. About 30-40% of the general population possesses the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% of the general population actually develop celiac disease. For most with the potential, the triggering stress event doesn't happen. It can be many things but often it is a viral infection. Having said that, it is also the case that many, many people who eventually are diagnosed with celiac disease probably experienced the actual onset years before. Many celiacs are of the "silent" type, meaning that symptoms are largely missing or very minor and get overlooked until damage to the small bowel lining becomes advanced or they develop iron deficiency anemia or some other medical problem associated with celiac disease. Many, many are never diagnosed or are diagnosed later in life because they did not experience classic symptoms. And many physicians are only looking for classic symptoms. We now know that there are over 200 symptoms/medical problems associated with celiac disease but many docs are only looking for things like boating, gas, diarrhea. I certainly understand your concerns about not wanting to damage your body by taking on a gluten challenge. Your other option is to totally commit to gluten free eating and see if your symptoms improve. It can take two years or more for complete healing of the small bowel lining once going gluten free but usually people experience significant improvement well before then. If their is significant improvement in your symptoms when going seriously gluten free, then you likely have your answer. You would either have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).

      after several years of issues with a para-gland issue, my endo has decided it's a good idea for me to be tested for celiac disease. I am 70 yrs old and stunned to learn that you can get celiac this late in life. I have just gradually stopped eating most foods that contain gluten over the past several years- they just make me feel ill- although I attributed it to other things like bread spiking blood sugar- or to the things I ate *with* the bread or crackers etc   I went to a party in Nov and ate a LOT of a vegan roast made with vital wheat gluten- as well as stuffing, rolls and pie crust... and OMG I was so sick! the pain, the bloating, the gas, the nausea... I didn't think it would ever end (but it did) and I was ready to go the ER but it finally subsided.   I mentioned this to my endo and now she wants me to be tested for celiac after 2 weeks of being on gluten foods. She has kind of flip flopped on how much gluten I should eat, telling me that if the symptoms are severe I can stop. I am eating 2-3 thin slices of bread per day (or english muffins) and wow- it does make me feel awful. But not as bad as when I ate that massive amnt of vital wheat gluten. so I will continue on if I have to... but what bothers me is - if it IS celiac, it seems stupid for lack of a better word, to intentionally cause more damage to my body... but I am also worried, on the other hand, that this is not a long enough challenge to make the blood work results valid.   can you give me any insight into this please?   thank you
