Please pray for my nephew Elliott

My nephew Elliott has been having major issues with allergies the past few weeks. My sister has taken him to the pediatrician several times in the past month. They just said he has severe allergies. Friday while Elliott was at his preschool they called Matt to inform him that Elliott was having a HUGE ALLERGIC REACTION. After giving him Benedryl they took him back to the pediatrician for the second time that day. Because of the severity of his allergic reaction they have gotten him to see a pediatric allergy specialist first thing Monday morning. Please pray for Elliott this weekend, and on Monday. We are all very worried for his condition. The little guy is as happy as he can be. He does not realize anything is wrong. The only complaint you hear is that "my eyeballs hurt" or "I'm itchy". They are not sure if his allergies are from the outdoors, food, or other items. As his Aunt I am so worried. I love the kid like he is my own. I hate to see him the way he is. I just about cry every time I see him. I think I would cry but Elliott is so happy. It just breaks my heart. So I am asking that anyone who reads this blog pray, pray hard for my little man.

Thank you for your prayers. I will keep you updated.
Love, Elliott's Aunt Howie

WARNING:
I have posted 3 pictures of Elliott. The first one is "Happy, Healthy" Elliott. If you don't want to see his allergic reaction photos only look at the first one. The 2nd and 3rd photos are Elliott on Friday afternoon post-Benedryl while he was waiting to see the doctor.

Happy, Healthy Elliott

Praying for Elliott. I still remember how awful it was when Nathan was little and his allergies were so bad. Once we could get it all identified and start treatment, it was much easier to handle the stress. Still tough always, worrying and hoping he would stay well, but much easier than at the first - the stage Rachel and Mat are in now. I pray for good doctors, quick answers, and quick results - and to keep that little guy happy with a bright, happy future. Love to all. Julie
