ELIJAH<br />

Age 5 | Stage 4 Neuroblastoma<br />

Little Warrior Elijah is five years old and bravely battling Stage<br />

4 Neuroblastoma. In December of 2015, he was declared in<br />

remission, but just three short months later, this March, received<br />

the news that the cancer had returned.<br />

After more treatment, Elijah’s family again received a second<br />

relapse report this December (2016). He recently had surgery,<br />

in which the doctors believe all the cancer was removed. He will<br />

then move onto chemotherapy and radiation with the hopes that<br />

clear scans will follow!<br />

Elijah is very funny and quick witted. All the nurses love him and<br />

he is known for his amazing smile and for being a good patient.<br />

He loves to play his xbox and is a zombie shooting pro. He also<br />

loves Dinosaurs and was lucky enough to meet Chris Pratt from<br />

Jurassic World at the Ronald McDonald House during one of our<br />

stays.<br />

Elijah also enjoys wrestling with daddy and his brother, and playing<br />

Minecraft with his “sissy”.
