Short surgery update

Elijah had his surgery yesterday, actually. There were some computer issues and we didn't get the previous update out until tonight. However, he came out of surgery with his encephalocele (his bump)completely removed. He looks like such a different littel boy. However, he lost more blood than they counted on so he needed a transfusion. He needed to be in the ICU for a while as his blood pressure and heart rate kept getting much too high. He was doing better after a few hours (though not super) and was then moved to the neurology floor. Please continue to pray for Elijah as he has a lot to go through for his recovery. We'll post photos when we are able. God has brought him this far, we can't wait to see where he goes.
