He is now in hospital. Elliott, who is only about 26 years old, has a long history of dealing with depression, anxiety and alcohol abuse. I would ask that you kindly pray for Elliott and his family in this very difficult time. Thank you. |

I hope he finds some peace within himself. A difficult affliction to deal with wether you are the sufferer or close to the sufferer! I didn't have the added burden of alcohol abuse thank goodness, I hope he can get away from that as it makes things worse as you probably already know. Elliot, I hope you can open your eyes and see the world around you, see the people who love you, want you, need you. <<<<<<<<HUGS>>>>>>>> |

It has been so hard on Nancy. They've been trying for years to get his medication cocktail just right. He keeps having adverse reactions to them, and he's one of those persons who react really badly to alcohol too. |
