Elijah doing well

By -
I know, I know, you love the new blog look and feel. I have to say that I wanted a "happier" feel to Elijah's journey...and now we have it, but this blog isn't about the look and feel, it's about Elijah Ramirez who is doing great. He's still sitting still, but that's okay for now as long as that great big smile stays on his face.

We love you all and will post pics of Eli this weekend.

Please keep praying for Grandma Edna. She remains in the hospital.

I REALLY like your new site,, it is so much easier to read. It is so hard to imagine what little Eli has gone through in such a short time and to see the progress he has made. I have kept up with your site since reading about Eli in the Tulsa paper, his is a story that is very inspiring.

Is God Listening? I Believe He Is...

Elijah's feet will be amputated tomorrow at 7:00 a.m. Central. Tonight, both sets of grandparents are at their hotels, and so is Melissa and my sweet daughter Sophia. It's just me and Eli in the hospital room, watching TV and trying to settle down after a long day of blood draws, x-rays, measurements and several dozen forms to read and sign. Everybody keeps asking me how I'm doing tonight, because they can see something dark in my eyes. I'm trying to stay positive, but I'm somewhere between moderately jovial and barely coherent. And let's face it -- I've made it my personal mission in life to be the one who reassures everyone else, who always sees the silver lining and the ultimate goal. So when you hear me admit that I'm making the people around me sad, it's doubly upsetting, because I'm usually the person you go to when you feel sad. About ten minutes ago, I finished pouring some food into Elijah's tummy via his G-tube. After I removed the ...

16 Steps To Victory

Dad reporting in, late at night (11:27 p.m.): Not a creature was stirring, until from the baby monitor there arose such a clatter, Elijah sitting up in his crib talking to himself at the top of his lungs. Seriously, a conversation complete with questions, answers, exclamations and thoughtful responses (i.e. "Hmm! Yeah!") I just had to get him out of bed and play with him, and also give him some more to eat. On the way upstairs, he asked me to put him on the floor of the foyer. Before I knew what was happening, he had climbed the first three steps of the flight leading to our second floor. These first steps curve and each have about twice the surface area of the other steps, so when he got to the first proper stair, I thought he might slow down or ask me to pick him up. Instead, he bore down on the step and said, "I'm climbing, Daddy!" And climb he did. One step, then the next, and although I had a hand hovering behind him the whole way, I never once had to use i...
