I am trying to get this site together to keep everyone informed of how Eli is doing on a regular basis. Eli is our 2 year old son who was diagnosed on January 3 with Leukemia. We have been amazed and humbled by the numbers of people offering prayers and support, and we have also been brought to our knees by this horrible disease and what it is already doing to our precious little boy. We are only two weeks into what will be at best a three year ordeal and I am feeling as though I have already run a marathon. I am hoping I will begin to cope better as time goes by, but at present I am just breathing air and trying to make Eli as comfortable as possible. Our chemo began the Friday after we were diagnosed and we have already had three treatments. On Saturday Eli had a seizure so we had to spend the night in the ICUwith a tube breathing for him....horrible. Now we are back in our room on the seventh floor, but the doctors are still not sure what caused the seizure. They are going to do and MRI on his brain tomorrrow to rule out bleeding as well as an eeg. If all remains negative, they will chalk it up to a side effect of the chemo. Anyway, I will try to keep everyone informed by writing here as often as I can. Thanks for the prayers....
