Today we were able to be with Elijah most of the day. His Mom and sisters from Dallas are here with Joy and the KKSM Krew on tour diverted from Georgia last night to be here today.

Elijah is still in critical condition with no activity with his kidneys yet. He remains in an induced coma and is still on the respirator. They have started a central line on him and continue the dialysis 4 hours every other day. He went through the process today and his condition remains unchanged.

They have had to give him 8 times the amount of medication than they would normally to keep him sedated due to his strength and his will to beat this illness. In fact he sat up today and made an attempt to remove his breathing tube before the medical staff could stop him.

We are continuing to believe that his kidneys will start up again soon and that the inflammation in the Pancreas will subside. He is showing some signs of decreased swelling today which is a positive sign.

Thank you again and please continue to pray for Elijah and his health
