| Final moments before leaving the hospital |
Jessica was scheduled for a c-section for today, June14th at noon , which is exactly the time we were walking out of the hospital with our 7-day old boy.
Elijah's breathing and eating is completely normal, praise the Lord for that.
The main concern is how weak/strong the bones are and the shape of his legs—upper and lower leg bones. We're still praying for a miracle.
We are waiting on a genetic test result to come back from Washington State which will tell us more about what is going on with his body/bones.
We really appreciate all the love and support YOU have been showing us, and we ask you to continue to pray for the completion of healing in his entire body.
