Praise the Lord!!!

I just wanted to add my two cents for what that is worth. I have been at the hospital for the last several days with Eli and it has bee rough to say the least. He has had some hard breathing, lots of crying, retractions and lots of choking. I really thought we were going backwards, but now I believe we are on the march forward. It all happened yesterday after he was taken off his high flow oxygen. I suppose this was pushing a lot of water down his nose making lots more secretions as if he needed that. Then they became thick, couldn't be swallowed all the way because of the strictured esophagus.....and the vicious cycle begins. He is a completely different child today. I can look at him and see a happier child....it is a miracle. I am like Ryan in his other post we are not so quick to become overly excited because this is a roller coaster. However, we know that our creator Jesus is in control and has this entire situation in his hand. We are doing better with physical therapy, occupational therapy since we are happier. We are having another dialation on Monday since we are stricturing down again. this is something that will be normal for us. it is hard to describe the change in him overnight.....I guess all I can say tis that I now know what a small miracle from our Lord looks like. I am so thankful I can say that Jesus loved us all enough to die for us and knows every tear we cry. He is here for us through goood and bad no matter if we act like we need him or not. I just pray that through all of this the Frazier 5 never forget who is carrying us through this situation......our gracious Father. Thank you for all your prayers.

Also I want to say how happy we are to be here in Minnesota at the hospital that is caring for our Elijah. We have grown so close to all our nurses, doctors and other staff they feel like family. Yeah, we really miss KY. but they make it a little easier to be here. They are definately the consistent in the situation along with our friends at the RMH. The nurses here are great and Elijah really knows how to flirt with them. He has his own little group of girlfriends for sure. If it were for our nurses where would we be.


talk to you soon.
