Remember baby Elijah? We received news this week that he passed away. We only met him once but were captivated by his all-knowing, big wide eyes, and gentle little spirit. It was agony to watch him struggle for every breath when we visited him...I can only imagine what his mother went through. We had purchased sugar and showed her how to make oral rehydration solution hoping that might give him a little boost.
Elijah was born nearly 2 months premature with what his mother described as "a lung problem." He was only 17 months old when he died but he had the face of a little old man. Every breath has been a struggle for him from the beginning. May his little spirit rest in peace...+
