Baby Elliot Funeral Arrangments

Here is another message I just received through Facebook. The funeral arrangments are near the end.

"Just wanted to give a quick note to let all of you know about Elliot's last day. He went into surgery around 1:00 to simply repair the sutures that were stretching his esophagus. They wanted to actually repair the esoph. if it was long enough. As they were manuevering around the esoph. there was alot of scar tissue. Some of the scar tissue formed on the aorta in what appeared to be a scab. As the doctor proceeded to remove it the aorta ruptered and Elliot began to severly bleed. They got the hole stitched up and he was beginning to look stable and they brought him upstairs to the NICU. As he was being situated he began to bleed again. They did emergency surgery right there in NICU, but the bleeding was just too much. He fought so hard to stay with us, but ultimately it was the Lord's will to call him home. As I was with Elliot these past few months, I would hold him, and I always thought he was looking at something beyond me. He was always looking over me to something I could obviously not see. He would smile and even chuckle, and I couldn't get him to turn his head to look at me. I now take comfort in the fact that he was looking at our Lord. I believe Elliot could see Him, and I couldn't. And I believe the Lord was calling Elliot home long before Monday, January 21st. I take comfort in the fact in knowing that this was the Lord's will for little Elliot. With all that being said we are having the funeral in Wichita, Ks. on Saturday, January 26th at 10:00 at Northside Bible Chapel in Kechi, Ks. He will be buried in Wichita next to my grandmother. We are also having a memorial service here in Birmingham, AL. at 6:00 pm.on Thursday, January 24th at Hope Bible Chapel."
