Thank you for visiting. We will keep you posted here with information to help you pray as well as see how our little boy is changing. We are thankful for the good people at DCS Netlink in Rice Lake for immediately volunteering to create a website for Elijah when he was born and hosting our updates for the past 2 1/2 years.
Since we last chatted Elijah has had some highlights...
- Bladder infection (treated again with antibiotics, cleared up, some chance of a false positive on the test)
- Lyme disease (tick found, "bullseye" appeared clearly after only a week, treated with antibiotics, resolved immediately)
- New straps to enable him to walk straight with his walker
- An eye patch four hours per day to see if his lazy eye is treatable without surgery
Some things to pray about:
- Elijah's October 17th eye appointment will determine whether or not he has to have another strabismus surgery.
- Orthopedic surgery (tendon transfer and further tibial de-rotation) is a possibility in the spring, but we need wisdom.
- Elijah's physical therapist who comes once per week is moving to Iowa (of all places), so we are praying for another conscientious helper and advisor.
- Urology tests and appointments on November 9th
We hope you keep coming back. Clicking on "comments" will connect you via e-mail. If you do not want your comments published, feel free to contact us via my e-mail: pastor@ricelakebaptist.org.
Blessings,
Steve for the family

Greetings from Iowa! Thanks for the update and family picture. I'll be praying for y'all. Hard to believe you've had 8 while I have one 5-yr-old! Sarah, how on earth do you keep up with them all?
Love in Christ,
Lois Dudley
