michigan is ellen salter. good morning. thank you very much for having me on today. tell me about your daughter megan. our daughter megan is 8 years old now. we have four children. we care for megan in our home. she breathes off a ventilator. she has a feeding tube. and she s unable to speak or move much at all. but we really just love this baby so much and we consider a great gift from god. and we have just been able in the state of michigan to have a trach placed without any problem at all so that she really wouldn t choke to death either to be able to remove secretions and give her the comfort and love that we just pour out our love for her because god has blessed us with many graces and this little girl has brought joy to thousands of people around the world that have called and e-mailed in support. and we just feel really honored
