Eli Dean

Eli is the sweetest, happiest child you will ever meet; he always has a smile on his face and always wants to kiss who ever is around.  Eli was diagnosed with Fraser Syndrome when he was 2 years old.  Fraser’s is a lot like Cerebral Palsy, except that Eli is blind.  He was born with no eyes. He also has a displaced kidney, a cleft of his vocal cords, so he only says a few words, but babbles about everything.  He is confined to a wheelchair, and has little control over his muscles.  We have to do everything for him, like feeding, changing, bathing, and taking him in and out of the wheelchair.  He is totally dependant on us for everything. Eli also has scoliosis, which was corrected last June with spinal surgery.  Eli will be participating in Coweta County Special Olympics on April 29 at Newnan High School.  He also bowls once a month as part of Special Olympics.  Eli is truly a special little boy; he touches the hearts of everyone he meets.
