An Elliot Lake five-year-old continues to astound his doctors with his tenacity and zest for life.
Jessie Hennessey says her son, Elijah, had major surgery barely a week ago and is now walking under his power.
She says the surgery involved repairing his heart, all four chambers and two ventricles, to allow for normal blood circulation.
The five-year-old was born with several heart problems and many doctors who assessed him did not believe he would even survive, but Elijah has beaten the odds once again.
Jessie says her proudest moment so far was Elijah walking out of the hospital yesterday under his own power.
She adds his recovery continues and she looks forward to him being able to do all the things a normal little boy enjoys at his age.
