in September 2015 when he was just three and a half months<br />
old. After discovering a glow in Ellis’ eye, he was taken to an<br />
opthamologist and upon leaving the clinic, received the devestating<br />
call with his diagnosis and instructions to be at St. Jude on Sunday<br />
(just two days away) to beding treatment.<br />
Ellis completed six rounds of chemotherapy, laser therapy,<br />
countless EUA’s (exams under anesthesia) and, as of today, has<br />
had clear exams with no treatment needed for 20 weeks! He will<br />
continue to have exams every five to six weeks for a while and<br />
space them out as time goes on.<br />
Ellis has two older siblings a brother (Patton, six) and sister (Paige,<br />
five)who adore him and love him so, so much. As his mom shares,<br />
“He is such a strong boy, and amazes us every single day!”
