Good Monday morning!!! We are waiting for Dr. Hess and the PICU team to devise a plan for this week. They are really a loss at what is the most emergent and needs to be done next at this point. Elijah is still having troubling breathing with retractions, getting some thick mucous stuck in the back of his throat and then we have the arching. It is such a combination that we need to break it down and make sure address each thing and get it right. They are thinking a bronchoscopy, MRI and a hood to thin secretions. Please pray that their plan will coincide with God's plan. On a positive note in physical therapy he is doing great. He can hold his head up on his own for at least 5 seconds. There is a picture at the bottom of his physical therapy session. I will post what we find out later this afternoon. Have a great day everyone. Oh by the way it is getting cold up here in the North......no snowflakes YET!!!!!

Love,
the frazier 5

Hi Tammy and Ryan,
I wanted to say Thank you for writing these email updates. We are praying for you all.
I like Elijah's new pictures. He is even sitting up with your help! We are excited and thanking God for His mercy. The toys and blue blankets and such make it look homey.
I know that you do not know us directly. We know you thru Ryan's mom, Joyce. She works with our 7 month old daughter Grace who has Partial Trisomy 13.
Praying for you, especially for strength, peace, wisdom and healing for Elijah.
Seth and Sheryl Long
