At just two years old, Eloise has already been on a journey that no child should ever have to face. For the past fourteen months, her life—and the lives of those who love her—has been shaped by appointments, treatments, and long days filled with both uncertainty and quiet hope. Her family has learned to measure time not by calendars, but by progress, prayers, and moments of strength.
This week brought news that felt like a breath of fresh air. Eloise’s medical team shared encouraging updates that lifted the spirits of everyone who has been walking beside her. Her neuro-oncologist expressed happiness with the progress she continues to make, noting how well she is responding. Her neurologist was overjoyed to see how healthy and bright she looks. Most reassuring of all, recent results show that her tumor continues to shrink—showing even more improvement than it did last October. For a child facing brain cancer, this kind of progress is deeply meaningful.
While this news brings comfort, the road ahead is still long. There are questions that remain unanswered and challenges that cannot yet be predicted. These unknowns weigh heavily on her family each day. Still, they face each new step together, holding onto faith, supporting one another, and finding strength in the small victories that remind them why hope matters.
Eloise herself continues to amaze everyone around her. Despite her young age, she shows determination and resilience far beyond her years. She works hard in physical and occupational therapy, giving her best effort day after day. She continues speech and feeding therapy with patience and persistence, celebrating each step forward no matter how small it may seem. Every session, every milestone, and every smile is a reminder of how far she has come.
After fourteen months of battling diffuse astrocytoma, Eloise is not just enduring—she is growing. She is getting stronger, showing more of her personality, and bringing light into the lives of those who know her story. Her laughter, curiosity, and quiet bravery serve as a powerful reminder that strength can come in the smallest forms.
Eloise’s journey is far from over, but it is filled with hope. Her progress is a testament to perseverance, medical care, and the unwavering love of a family that refuses to walk this path alone. Step by step, they continue forward, believing in better days and holding onto the promise that progress—no matter how gradual—is still progress.
Please keep Eloise and her family in your thoughts and prayers today
