Night Update... 1/14

We made it home....

The hospice nurse just told us things are not looking good right now. He will most likely become an angel tonight. I don't know how prepared we are, but Jason and I took turns rocking him all morning and he's been in grandma's loving arms since we arrived home. If he does leave tonight, he will leave knowing he is loved. He is very peaceful now; not stressed or struggling. I would rather it go this way than have to keep him drugged for weeks and watch him suffer and be in pain. I'm trying to stay strong and not fall apart yet. I have to be able to make decisions right now and I can't do that if I lose it.

For any of our family and friends reading this.... when Eli does leave us, we ask that flowers not be sent. I know the cost of flowers and rather than waste all of that money on something that will die, I am asking everyone to do something that will let Eli live on... We were very blessed at the hospital with the Ronald McDonald House and I know the one here in Houston suffered much damage during Hurricane Ike. We ask that you donate to this wonderful charity in Eli's name so that he can continue to help others and brighten the day of families who are going through similar situations. The website telling about the donations is here. Checks can be mailed to Ronald McDonald House Houston 1907 Holcombe Blvd Houston, TX 77030. They just ask that you put "In Honor" or "In Memory of Elias Beasley-Wright" in the memo line of your check. We would appreciate anyone kind enough to do this for Eli.

We have just returned home from prayer meeting where we had special prayer for baby Eli... so sorry for your loss. We, as well as our church (Hylton Freewill Baptist), will be praying for all of the family in the weeks and months to come..
