Eli's learning

By -
Eli is learning to express his desires. The brilliant folks at the Little Light House made him picture cards so he can let them know if he wants to read his Clifford book or play with his musical instrument. Eli selects by pointing to the card. He decides. I love that!

Eli's favorite words: paci, Eah (Sophia), daddy, yay, (shaking his head) NO, ready, here it is.

He isn't moving his broken (healing) arm. That's a good thing. We'll get it checked out again next week with x-ray shipped to Shreveport. Hopefully we can avoid a trip in person. His liquid vitamin D arrives at our house tomorrow so we'll start that.

Love to all,
Melissa

God is so good.

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
