Elijah's home at last!!

<< < (3/4) > >>

Ninny:
For everyone who has been following and praying for Elijah I wanted you to be sure to continue praying for him. You know I told you before that he was supposed to have had three stem cell transplants, but they are so debilitating and dangerous that his parents opted not to give him the third transplant. He is doing well, but the doctors have told them if his cancer should recur there just isn't much they can do for him. His parents know that everything is in God's hands and that He is in control. They just need prayer for strength. Elijah is going through withdrawals from the meds he has been on for the past 6 months and believe me it is like living with a hundred demons! Grayson was like that when he came home from the hospital, for almost two weeks and he'd only been on steroids for a week!

His daddy says he bites and scratches, kicks and screams! He's mean to his mommy and at times is like an angel, then suddenly behaves like a little monster! Grayson did this and it was so stressful! After about 10 days the steroids began to wear off (he had to be weaned from them slowly after his surgery) and he began to act human again! SO PLEASE pray for Elijah's mommy and daddy! This poor little boy has been pumped full of who knows what over the past 6 months and now his body has to adjust! I wouldn't post this if his daddy hadn't posted the information on his caringbridge page, because I know how painful a situation it is and how lonely and isolated they feel. Once again, if you'd care to visit his page here is the address again:     http://caringbridge.org/visit/elijahgseritt
Thank you again so much for praying for this sweet family!

God, please have mercy on Elijah and his family and bring them back to what we call normal in all respects and continue your healing power in this child. Amen judy

Ninny:
Thought I'd give you a quick update on Elijah. His dad says he's doing pretty well. He's improved since going home, but he is still throwing up quite a bit, they're praying that it is not indicating that the cancer is back. Please remember him, too because of this Swine Flu, he absolutely can NOT get any bug at all! They are taking every precaution with him, but they are still relying on God to protect him. He can't go out into public and when he goes outside I think he has to wear a mask, I'm not totally sure on that, but I think he does. They try to take him outside as much as possible for the fresh air and vitamin D from the sunshine.
Just please keep praying for him he still has a long road ahead. He still is on chemo and still has to go to the clinic 3 times a week, so it's a daily struggle for them. He will have his first MRI since his stem cell transplant next week so we are praying that it shows no cancer.
I'll let you know how the MRI comes out...Pray! and on Elijah's behalf, thank you so much!
