One of the Brave...

She's sat at death's door
heard it knock,
felt its breath.
And in the silence of her lips
her heart cried out,
it asked
for life.
When time was against her
when hope seemed
far and gone
the answer came
the freedom won
she's passed from death
to life.
She's one of the hero's,
one of the brave,
known by few
but well loved.
Every day she battles on
very few
understand the war.



Elo is 23 years old. She's had numerous health problems for as long as I've known her (about 4 years). Right now she needs a liver transplant. Her mother is the donor and has finally completed all the necessary testing. In July Elo got a cold, her body started to shut down and she had a stroke. Her whole right side became paralyzed and she almost died. She's in therapy and is getting better, but needs to be strong enough for the surgery and transplant. She needs lots of prayer...so please pray.
