Sometimes it is hard for Dawn James to remember that her two-year-old son, Eli, is a miracle. Diagnosed with spina bifida in the womb, doctors gave Eli a zero percent chance of survival. However, despite the significance of his condition, and an exposed spinal column, Eli proved the doctors wrong. Even in times of trial, Dawn chose to uphold the family’s motto: “Don’t borrow tomorrow’s worries for today.” Today, Eli is a happy little boy that loves playing peekaboo, his older sister, and his Mickey Mouse toy. He thrives in the best way he possibly can, supported by the love of his family, and especially his mother, who says she would not trade her life with anyone else.
