March has been a BUSY month!! The last 3 months have flown by!!! This is all good news, but I feel bad I haven’t been updating her website. I know there are still people who check this regularly and it means so much to know that Eliana is still in the hearts of so many.
I want you to know your prayers are working!!! They really are. Eliana has been off of the IV chemo for a year now!!!! Can you believe that?! I can hardly believe it myself!! She has been of the oral chemo for about 9 months!! Soo.. the anxiety that came with this last check up and MRI was beyond what I could personally control. My conscious could keep it together but subconsciously I was crumbling inside.
But God is EVER FAITHFUL and gave us all the peace we needed to get through the day, and when the doctors said her tumor was stable.. that the tumor has not changed.. the MRI was the same.. we were beyond elated!! Just filled with SOO much gratitude! Thank you Sweet Baby Jesus!!! God is healing OUR Eliana!!! He is providing a TRUE MIRACLE right in front of our eyes!! For all of you to see and experience with us!!! There aren’t words to express my true emotions. All I can say is Thank you God.. I give you all the Glory!!! Amen!!
Thanks for all your prayers.. they hold us together when we feel we are falling apart and they are changing things.. The doctors have no clue why Eliana is doing as well as she is. They are completely dumb founded! So lets keep on praying.. Pray until the tumor is GONE!! Lets show these doctors that our God is bigger then all of the modern day medicine!
Eliana had a wonderful Thanksgiving with her family. She/We are SO GRATEFUL and THANKFUL to NOT be doing CHEMO this year! This is her first year enjoying turkey day with out being on gnarly treatment! Thank you SWEET JESUS!!! So many things to be thankful for this year, it really is incredible to see where we are now compared to a year ago or even two years ago! Thank you Jesus for my miracle of life! So blessed that Eliana is MY daughter. She really is so full of life and love.. Thank you for all your continued prayers. FYI: December 14, 2011 Eliana has an MRI in LA. Please pray that God has completely removed her tumor!!! Let’s show these doctors what we KNOW God is capable of!! ♥ <><
Eliana had her 2 1/2 year evaluation with TCRC (her physical and occupational therapist) and she is doing remarkably well! TYJ She has come SOOO far since her last evaluation. I can not begin to tell you how proud I am of her progress! My favorite part is that her language/social/emotional skills are at a 3 year old level! She will continue her PT/OT for the next 6 months and then she will have completed the program. I am SO grateful for all the wonderful help these 3 women have provided my daughter! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Just one more thing to Thank God for this Thanksgiving!
Eliana had a BLAST with Grandma Andrea & Grandpa Frank. They made cupcakes and went shopping.. Then she got 2 more overnight with SHEY SHEY!! She was talking to me about her weekend ALL day!! Took her for a walk down at the bluffs this am hunting for “treasures” SHE LOVED IT! Then a 4+ hour nap.. She had too much fun over the weekend! ♥
Eliana went to the Library for her first time today! She really liked playing with the other kids. I think the puzzles, coloring and touch screen computer out won the books though. Bummed we couldn’t sign up for a library card today but hoping we can get one soon. Eliana is excited about checking out books! Looks like we got a new weekly library date.
