Daughter of Caleb and Katie Siefkes of Sleepy Eye, 10-month-old Ellanor, was hospitalized in June of 2020. After six months of ongoing testing and multiple infections, Children’s Hospital’s hematology department determined that she had a genetic mutation causing low neutrophil counts and diagnosed her with ELANE mutation Severe Congenital Neutropenia. The next year Ella was prescribed medication to help her bone marrow grow the blood cells. Bone Marrow Transplant was the only other course of action to improve and sustain Ella’s quality of life. Around Ellanor’s second birthday, Children’s Hospital referred her to the U of MN BMT program. Testing of Ellanor’s five siblings revealed that she had a fully matched donor available in her brother, Josiah, and it was decided to move forward with BMT.
I for one am heavily influenced by film. Lately, I have been gravitating towards film from around the early 90s. I think there is something to be said about films from previous decades. Specifically, the romance/rom-com genre. For me, it's everything from the writing, the set design, costume design, and the artistic decisions that were made.
On the day of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, I arrived early at my children’s elementary school for a winter concert. I was so early, in fact, that I was the only person sitting in the gym for several minutes before anyone else arrived. I remember looking around at the empty seats and praying through tears for the families whose tables would forever have empty seats in the wake of such incomprehensible violence.

"Sing to God a brand-new song, sing his praises all over the world! Let the sea and its fish give a round of applause, with all the far-flung islands joining in. Let the desert and its camps raise a tune, calling the Kedar nomads to join in. Let the villagers in Sela round up a choir and perform from the tops of the mountains. Make God’s glory resound; echo his praises from coast to coast.” Isaiah 42:10
