Eli's Girl

Well I can at least say the doctor wasn't lying when he said fighting this disease is going to be a long battle. As soon as we think everything is running smoothly, we hit a bump in the road. Elijah has been running a fever the past couple of days and the doctor suspects that it is interfering with the number of stem cells they're able to collect. We are just asking that everyone pray for his fever to cease so that the doctor can collect the millions of cells he'd like to have for Elijah's future procedure. We also would like to thank our Wildcat family for giving us giftcards, flowers, balloons, and cards. We received everything and it's so appreciated. It's sometimes hard for me to respond quickly, so forgive me. Elijah is in good spirits. Of course he was hoping that this collection procedure would go more smoothly so he'd have time to rest before his actual transplant at the end of the month, but he knows that it's just a matter of time before he's back on his feet. I'm keeping this brief today. Sooooo goodnight folks. Just please pray for his stem cells to continue to multiply and then come on out so that they can be collected and stored. Thank you! Kimberly
