> Dear Friends of Elijah,
> Elijah Morris (Neergaard) is sick in Vanderbilt Children's Hospital, 
> but he is in good spirits.  The main
> problem is that he keeps vomiting and can't hold anything (including 
> his seizure medications) down.
> He is currently on an IV with Zofran, a strong anti-nausea drug.  His 
> blood tests are good: they show
> nothing wrong.  There is no diagnosis yet.  The hospital staff are 
> asking Elijah to stay in his room to
> protect the other patients.  Visitors are allowed. 
> Here is the plan for the next couple of days:
> Sunday--Wean Elijah off the IV, take Zofran orally along with seizure 
> medication.
> Monday--Wean Elijah off Zofran altogether.
> We are hoping that Elijah can come home Monday or Tuesday.
> We know that you love Elijah and we want to keep you up-to-date on his 
> "adventures".  Thank you
> for your past expressions of love and kindness towards Elijah.  We 
> especially thank you for your
> prayers because we believe God pays attention to them.
>     Love,
>        Daryl and Sherry Neergaard
