Eli on KRMG... Prepare For The Cute

By -
Elijah was at LaFortune Park this afternoon to talk on-air with Joe Kelly from KRMG AM740. Joe and the staff of Make-A-Wish were in their second day of collecting donations for the annual fundraiser, and I'm pretty sure they made their goal of $200,000. That doesn't mean it's too late for you to donate! They've decided to send Eli to Hawaii sometime in 2012. (Hopefully they'll decide we can go with him; I'll keep you posted.)

Eli got to look inside a police patrol car, and he talked with several officers, then went right up to a real helicopter and poked his head inside! Then it was time to talk on the radio, and Eli turned on the charm big time. Jeff Summers, CEO of Make-A-Wish Oklahoma, has given Eli the nickname "Hollywood."

We also recorded a "Story Of Light" which has been running on KRMG all this week. We didn't know it at the time we recorded it, but it was actually HILARIOUS. Take a listen by clicking on this link, then scrolling down to the list of names and clicking on Eli's:

We have another ear tube surgery on Monday. No big thing, right? But he'll be under general anaesthetic, and he only weighs 26 pounds, so it makes me nervous. Pray for Eli!

This is over-whelming to say the least and we are so proud and thankful for each of you. We are always thinking of you and praying for another great day. Many people ask about you every day. Eli is famous only because of his wonderful mommy,dad and sister. We thank God that you are our children. I don't think I can wait to see you. G and G

Elijah Will Be Represented at Boston Marathon 2014

By -
Our dear friends the Sperou family in Massachusetts recently asked if we'd be interested in seeing Elijah represented by a runner during the upcoming Boston Marathon in April 2014. Of course we said yes! What a fantastic opportunity, to know that someone has dedicated themselves to running 26.2 miles, thinking about Eli the entire time, working to raise money for children like Eli who are dealing with rare diseases. Kelsey Hoontis, our new superhero, is sponsoring Eli as part of an organization called "Running For Rare Diseases." They recently spoke with Christopher and Laurie Sperou about sponsoring their precious daughter, Shauna, who became a good friend of Eli's during our visit to the Rothmund-Thomsen Syndrome conference in Washington, D.C. Kelsey is one of three (for now) runners who will be representing RTS kids, and I'll tell you honestly, it feels so good to see Eli's syndrome garner more attention. We felt so alone in those early days when we had j
