Eli is recovering

By -
Elijah is home and happy to be there. He is recovering from his wrist centralization surgery. He returns to Shreveport to have the cast removed and a splint put in its place in one more week. He is becoming more accustomed to the cast, but he isn't loving it.

He is still experiencing some pain and discomfort. Possibly more from his more severe cold than from his newly reconstructed arm. He laughs and plays, which are very good signs.

Thanks for your prayers and we will keep you posted here.

Love,
Melissa

I finally found the addy for the blog... I'm a little slow on the "get it, got it" scale...

Thanks for the video updates. I cannot imagine the strength it takes to get through each day; your laughter encourages me that should I face a difficult task, I know I can get through it with my faith intact.

Continue to be strong, friends... show us how great our God is!

Elijah Will Be Represented at Boston Marathon 2014

By -
Our dear friends the Sperou family in Massachusetts recently asked if we'd be interested in seeing Elijah represented by a runner during the upcoming Boston Marathon in April 2014. Of course we said yes! What a fantastic opportunity, to know that someone has dedicated themselves to running 26.2 miles, thinking about Eli the entire time, working to raise money for children like Eli who are dealing with rare diseases. Kelsey Hoontis, our new superhero, is sponsoring Eli as part of an organization called "Running For Rare Diseases." They recently spoke with Christopher and Laurie Sperou about sponsoring their precious daughter, Shauna, who became a good friend of Eli's during our visit to the Rothmund-Thomsen Syndrome conference in Washington, D.C. Kelsey is one of three (for now) runners who will be representing RTS kids, and I'll tell you honestly, it feels so good to see Eli's syndrome garner more attention. We felt so alone in those early days when we had j
