Today, there has been a lot of waiting for Elliott (and for Mom and Dad too). He was admitted about 2pm and he soon made himself at home by emptying the play room of two firetrucks, a rocket ship, and a dinosaur that moves of its own accord. All of them make noises. One even has eyes that follow you round the room - who knew that firetrucks could be so sinister. Thankfully we have now been released of such delights (and all of the self-propulsion devices have been deactivated), and Elliott is enjoying story time with Mommy in his hospital bed.
Earlier in the day, Elliott showed off his fine physique to show us his pre-op belly. Euan and Annie have done well so far, with the help of Carmel and Momute, and of course all of your prayers. We now are waiting for Elliott's aforementioned 'belly' to clear out as his little body gets ready for surgery in the morning. May God be with him, and with us all.
May GOD be with him and you tomorrow. I know he will send some super guardian angels to run interference and keep the surgeon's hands steady and at task. Be of good courage. Our love and prayers continue…more than you can imagine. Love The Hand's
ReplyDeletePraying for you friends!
ReplyDeletePraying for Elliott, the doctors and each of you. My entire 5th grade class is also asking about Elliott, thinking about him, praying for him and excited about drawing him pictures/writing cards (hopefully those will be received!). Kids love kids and have such amazing hearts. Love you guys!
ReplyDeleteMary holding Jesus could not have looked any more beautiful than Monica reading to Elliott. May the peace of the Lord remain with all of you through today and always.
