Support Eli's Healing Journey
Donation protected
My amazing younger sister and brother in law just went through something no parent should. Thank goodness it had a happy ending. My beautiful nephew, Eli, spent the better part of two months in the ICU with an undisclosed illness that kept him down, but certainly not out. What started as a fever led to fluid on his lungs and heart, infected, and suffocating. After a short airlift to Boston Children’s, he was placed in a medically induced coma and cared for around the clock. Circulation issues from the fluid led to necrosis to some of the tissue in his arms. At the end of the day, doctors were able to make him better and minimize the damage to his extremities.
Now the healing starts and my sister and family need some help. We were able to support her short-term needs through the hospital stay, but with two months of missed work, continued surgical needs, and at-home equipment, there is a gap to fill. Every family is dealing with something, but for those that can, any help you can provide is greatly appreciated. Thank you, everyone who has kept my family in their thoughts and prayers. We appreciate any and all support more than you know.
