Thank you for helping me reach my fundraising goal in support of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. Your contribution is greatly appreciated. Elijah is sending a great big virtual hug for your support.
#SuperEli has spent most of his life in and out of Children's hospitals. At almost 7 years old, Elijah has had quite the medical journey. He and his twin sister, Abigail, were born at Northside hospital at 33w gestational age. He was only 2.5 lb and was born with esophageal atresia/tracheoesphageal fistula or EA/TEF. Essentially, he was born without a complete esophagus and a malformed airway, it is sometimes referred to as “born unable to swallow.” In addition to the EA/TEF, Elijah had several other more minor birth defects.The day after he was born, he was transferred to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA) for surgery on his airway. He was in the NICU/PICU at Scottish Rite for the first 13 months of his life and has spent many more nights there since.
We rely on SR for his day to day medical needs. Elijah always has a great big smile on his face when he arrives at CHOA and loves Hope and Will.
