The saying goes “what you put into the world will come back to you tenfold,” and the generosity shown thus far by family, friends, acquaintances and even strangers is a testament to the love and kindness Eli and Jenny have shown so many. 

And now the time is critical for us to all be lifting Eli and his family in our prayers, and keeping them in the forefront of our minds. I have posted an update from Jenny under the “Go Fund Me” and “Caring Bridge” accounts. 

Jenny wanted me to update everyone after Eli’s surgery…

“Ok, doctors just talked to me. It was a very difficult conversation. Surgery went great. They got the most badly burned areas all in one go. But the doctor referred to this as the ‘honeymoon phase’ right now. He is going to get a lot worse before he gets better.

The next 72 hours will be rough. The doctor says he doesn’t have a lot of donor sites so it will be hard to find enough skin to graft. This doctor now said we will be here 4-5 months…  

It sounds like it will get worse before it gets better…. 

He also said that usually younger males have the most painful recovery.”

Due to the change of estimated time away from home, I have increased the donation goal so we can help the Rads as much as we possibly can. 

Keep storming Heaven, and if you can find it in your hearts to donate monetarily to this family, I know they would be forever grateful. ❤️
