I spoke with Joy tonight and received the following update from her, Elijah’s white blood cells have risen significantly and the Doctors seem to be a little concerned regarding that. They are going to use the CT Scan to pinpoint the fluid around the Pancreas and begin to take samples of that fluid to see if it is infected.

The word from the medical team is that Elijah may be in critical care for 30 days or more although they consider his condition to be stable right now. He continues to be in an induced coma with negative kidney activity and must continue the dialysis every other day.

The need right now is for friends and family to surround Joy with prayer and encouragement, pray for her to get peaceful rest at night and that she would be filled with hope for the future.

This is a tough situation for a couple to be in and as newlyweds it makes it more difficult for Joy to be separated from her husband like this. Please continue to pray for them and that Elijah would be home soon with her.

Thank you and God bless
