Hi Elaine,
I tried to correct your story. My correction is in red.
Except for those few errors, your paragraph is quite good. However, it could be much better if you had added some details. You used the word "ordeal" - it's too strong a word for your story. Make it ordeal - write about their feelings and emothions.
Good luck!
