A day of rest
Today has been a quiet kind of day. Elliott needed a day of calm. Sometimes it’s hard work being a miracle child of God! Physical therapy came by today and he had an early morning work out. Following such a landmark busy day yesterday, he was pooped and fussy after PT. So today his room has been quieter and he’s been sleeping and gaining strength.... a day to help re-build his reserves. His oxygen needs continue to fluctuate; some medications are being changed; his tube feedings are increasing in volume; and following his last dose of antibiotics this evening the plan is to remove his long IV line. We’ll take quiet days. As many as he needs to reach his potential and fulfill God’s plan.... your prayers help us all. He continues to improve and we gain such comfort and strength from not only your prayers but also your comments. Thank you!

Been checking my email all day! So glad for an uneventful update. Rest is so deeply needed by all, I can’t imagine how tiring it is to surprise us everyday with his strength and determination! Rest up and know that we all continue to lift you up in prayer warrior Elliott. Love you!
So happy for your lil Warrior. Prayers for continued strength for Elliott and encouragement for Nathan and Jacy. Thanks for posting pic with Roxanne. Congrats to both Grandmas.
Lisa, my daughter, just gave me this sight so I can keep up with your precious Elliott! If you know our story with our grandson, then you know we've walked this journey and have seen God do His miraculous healing. I am praying continually for Elliott's progressive & complete healing & so very thankful to hear of all He is doing for this sweet baby! I'm praying for everyone's rest as I know how hard hospital life can be, but it will be so worth it! "God is our refuge & strength, a very present help in trouble, therefore we will not fear." Ps.46:1,2
God’s Love is shining into and out of those beautiful eyes! Praying for strength for all of you, including little Elliott 💪
Loved seeing Elliot with his eyes open taking in the world! What a hard way to start life but it seems this Child of God has big plans for his future. May the news continue to be good. Hope and pray parents and Grandparents are taking the time to rest also.
Love reading the continued miraculous progress that Elliott is making! He is amazing. Thanks for sharing all the goodness. I'll keep praying for him to gain strength and remove more wires with each day.
