6 Weeks Makes a Life Changing Difference

I hadn't posted anything lately about Elijah and thought an update was long overdue. Apparently I am as guilty as most about being quick to let people know when things are going well and ask for prayer, but I've been slow to give praise for the immense good that has happened. Elijah has had a complete turn around and now has been able to use the toilet normally for six weeks -- without surgery! The prognosis is great - although there is a small section of his bowel that does not function, however with minor daily laxatives, he is able to keep things moving. He still has painful bladder spasms 3-5x each week, and has a few other minor hiccups. But overall, we are thankful to report, that he is a healthy, happy, normal, almost-five-year-old! So thank you for praying with us through this and thank you for asking (many of you did) how he was. Now join us in praise for the incredible turn around that we were told wasn't possible!
