This photo was taken two weeks ago, when Elijah was exactly nineteen months old. I can't believe that we're on the downward slope towards TWO.
I can't but help to smile at this photo. He just looks like such a little boy and I'll never get sick of seeing our little (BIG) miracle walking around.
This is a story of overcoming the odds, putting trust in God, and the miracle of prayer. Our son, Elijah, was born in August of 2007. As a result of the oxygen deprivation that occured during his birth he spent his first three (agonizing) weeks in the hospital. When he was seven days old, we were told that Elijah had "severe brain damage" on both sides of his brain. At that moment we entered Elijahland and we've been here ever since. We're learning to live with the diagnoses Elijah has started to accumulate, but mostly we're grateful that God chose us to be his parents. It is truly a privilege to live in Elijahland with our handsome boy. Thanks for visiting.
