New Shoes!!

Today was a great day in the journey of Elijah Ramirez. He received new prosthetic legs. We call them shoes...since everyone wears shoes. They are innovative and creative. Eli's new prosthetist from OKC is our hero. Check these out.

Soon, you will see Eli walking.

Here's a note from Eli himself:
