Today Elijah went through dialysis and they were able to get almost 4 1/2 liters of fluid from him, which is very good news. Although the Kidneys are still not functioning there is hope they will soon.

Elijah also was given a Cat Scan today which the results were not available by the time the update was finished. Hopefully we will have the results from that sometime tomorrow giving us a better idea of the Pancreas and Kidneys overall condition.

The medical team attempted to reduce His sedation levels today but there was an increase in his Blood Pressure and Heart rate so that was discontinued.

Although Elijah is still in a coma and not responsive, Joy said she put her iPod and ear phones on him today and it appeared that he was enjoying the music and trying to move his lips. Joy was very encouraged today when I talked to her and very thankful for everyones concern and prayers for her and Elijah.

Thank you and please continue to pray for Elijah’s health and quick recovery and for Joy and her strength and peace.
