Life continues to be difficult. Elliott's blood pressure is hanging around 109/53 and his heart rate is about 43. This is NOT good news. They did a cat scan and an MRI today and found some old blood in his brain. Isn't that special. They told us he has an infection which would explain some of this but not all of it and seems they are stumped at the moment. They are taking him by ambulance to Hope so he can be close to Christ and the cardoligist that are there 24/7. I asked what would happen if this does not correct itself and the doctor said they may have to put in a pacemaker. I don't think we can take any more. This child has been beat up. He is exhausted and in a lot of back pain. I was with the boys all afternoon but daddy is following Elliott to Hope now. With any luck, their stay will be brief.
