Eli’s Story

Site created on February 1, 2024

My cousin Eli was in a terrible accident as if right now he is fighting for his life in the PICU ND Fargo. What we know so far is Eli has roughly 500 fractures around his eyes n forehead ! His jaw is ok, his eyes look great according to eye specialist! His liver n kidneys r struggling to work for him cuz of all the meds n sedatives ! His blood not clotting! They are worried his body may start shutting down to keep important organs going! He has a portion of skull removed to release pressure n drain blood! Problem there is, brain still swelling! If his brain keeps swelling into skull, it will cause brain death! Same as cardiac death! Its not looking good at all rn but we r here! We are hopeful n trying to stay positive best we can! Today has been a major struggle. How awful it is to be helpless as can be n scared out of our minds 💯 until results r in from latest scan, thats what we know n where we are left sitting!
