Words can not begin to express how saddened Luciano and I are for the pain that Eliana is going through. It has been a little over a week since this all happened but it has seemed like an eternity. The strength you both have shown is truly an inspiration and we praise both of you and continue to encourage your strength for Eliana and one another.  The out pouring of love and support has been AMAZING and the three of you are truly blessed.  We as many will continue to pray, love, support and have faith that Eliana will have a speedy recovery and come home soon to those that love and miss her.  It was very special to us to have been there that night of September 17th in the hospital room to see her baptized and be a part of that very special moment for everyone that was in that room.  A baby being baptized only happens once and to have witnessed that was truly special. Luciano and I have been and will continue to be here for the three of you in whatever is needed from us day or night we are just a phone call away.  We picked G to be the godfather of our son because we knew he would always be there to love and support him, and for Luciano to be Eliana’s Godfather know that Luciano will do the same for Eliana love and support always.  God has a plan for each of us in this lifetime and even though we may not understand or agree with them at times, he always has a purpose and will continue to hold our hands through it all.  Continue to love, and have faith in God, and that he gives the doctors the wisdom to heal Little Miss Eliana.  She is such a precious child and you can see that just by looking at her. We love the three of you very much.

Love the Velez Family,
Nino Luciano, Lisa & Michael
