Hi everyone,
There is an update on Elijah and I cut it from his daddy's own words to post here for you...
"Thanks so much for all the prayers. We brought Elijah home Saturday. The past 2 days have been good ones!
took them 5 days to get him sorted out this time and we are starting to question this "study drug" that caused these problems. If Elijah is in remission, why are putting him through all of this. I really don't know how much more his little body is gonna be able to take. We do understand that the "hope" is that this medicine will aid in remission but it hasn't been proven in Elijah's type of cancer. What has been proven is, at least in our situation, this drug causes some really scary, life threatening side effects. Please pray for us and the doctors as we discuss the future of Elijah's treatments this Wednesday. Please continue to pray for Elijah's body as it is still recovering from all that he has been through."
Guys as you always have done before please continue to pray for this family and for sweet Elijah!
I can read the pain and frustration in his daddy's words. believe me, for those of you who don't know it, this man has been through a living hell with Elijah and he continues to fight his flesh to hold on to faith. He knows that whatever happens to Elijah is part of God's will, but he wants what's best for his baby! We all want the same thing..I think of our own beloved Ray and what he's going through right now! Please press in and pray for strength, wisdom and for healing. For Elijah and for our dear Ray!!
(Just as a reminder Elijah's cancer is called Medullablastoma)
