Please PRAY hard for Elisha!


Dear Friends: Please pray hard for my friend Mary's son, Elisha. He is VERY SICK and is probably going to be admitted again to ICU at Children's Medical Center in Dallas.

Elisha began this journey early on in life. He was diagnosed with a rare disease called: WISKOTT ALDRICH SYDROME when he was 4 months old. When he was 11 months old he had to have a bone marrow transplant. As a result of an unmatched and unrelated donor, he now has GRAFT V.HOST DISEASE. This means his new immune system rejects him. Elisha is now 5 yrs old and God continues to help him through this long battle. However, he is a VERY, VERY SICK BOY. Today his mom and Dr's. had a CARE meeting about Elisha. The doctors are not being very hopeful about Elisha's situation but they did say that they are not giving up. As you can imagine, this is VERY disturbing news! The Doctors have also said that he may need to go to the ICU again. Mary's heart is so overwhelmed with every crazy feeling you can possibly imagine! She can't imagine getting in her car and not having Elisha in it. She can't imagine being in her home with out the sound of Elisha's laughter. She can't imagine going to Wal-Mart or any place with out Elisha. She can't imagine not walking in the hallways of Children's Medical Center anymore! She can't imagine having any one holiday without Elisha. She can't imagine Elisha's many barbies without him holding them and brushing their hair. She can't imagine sleeping with out him to hold her hand as he always does. If she so much as moves her hand at night he grabs a hold of it even tighter! She can't imagine her world with out her sweet little E! SHE CAN'T IMAGINE!!! Please be in prayer for Elisha! Thank you all so much for your prayers and support! Our God is bigger than any illness. I stand in faith that God will heal Elisha. May God alone be glorified and may all who hear the story be in awe of God's work.
