Talk about happy… Elijah won a contest to be one of nine kids out on the field to meet the team.  Elijah got his Fredbird signed by Fredbird and his baseball signed by Aaron Miles.  There was a number of people that were surprised when they were there and hear Elijah annouced over the loud speaker as the new Short Stop!

Not sure if I mentioned that they had to pull his front teeth for the operation. They were loose and so they took them out.

Elijah is no longer wearing the cast or halo. He’s free but very sore. So many of his back, chest and neck muscles have not been used for a long time. We have to build them back. The medicines are helping and he is very brave. He even ask to stand and try to walk in his walker. A few steps and about 10 minutes of standing was the most he could take before feeling bad.

Thank you for your comments and prayers.

A little more movement today. We helped him take some steps and got him into the wheelchair. He has neck pain mostly. That’s likely going to take a long time to work out because it’s been in the halo for so long. “Belle and the Prince (Beast)” from the Muny stopped by and got to see him do the walk to the chair. It’s baby steps… like everything.

I put some pictures in the gallery… Wait until you see the hardware they took out… I think it’s from Home Depot!
