Current update: Elisha just had brain surgery on December 18,2024 to remove an enhancing nodule which was found to be the same type of tumor as the original one. Original Story: Elisha and his twin sister Emma were our "double blessing" given to us from God on September 18,2012. After God divinely leading us through the medical care facilities:
A brain MRI followed by a brain biopsy showed a diagnosis of an
intrinsic inoperable juvenile pilocytic astrocytoma brain stem tumor. Obviously, this was devastating news to hear and process but our faith is strong and we are believing for a miracle. Why can't they operate? Why can this tumor not just come out? Is Radiation possible? I am so glad you are asking the same questions that we have asked to medical professionals around the USA. Eli's specific cancerous tumor is "intertwined" with the good parts of his brain. This makes the tumor inoperable. We are just a regular family that realized very quickly that cancer destroys and changes lives. Our faith is strong and we are believing for complete healing and another Miracle of Elisha. Most people ask, how can we help? Let us know what we can do. We appreciate the support we are getting from our family, friends,
and church.There are many miracles God has already provided through this process. We still do have some needs, and below there are some ideas how you can help.
1. Pray and Believe: This is our greatest need. We need prayer warriors across the country and world to pray and believe for Eli's miracle. God hears the cry of his people. Thank you for agreeing with us for a complete healing.
2. Airline Miles:
Airline miles are a great help to us as we need to travel as a family back and forth to St. Jude every year from TRI to MEM. For each flight, we are asking fly miles members that have 25,000 miles or more to contact Josh directly to book from your
miles acccount the flights needed as it is VERY EXPENSIVE to transfer miles between customers. Josh can be reached at 423-723-9174 or via email at [email protected]
