Firstly, I would like to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you. The outpouring of support, whether through comments, messages, or personal interactions, has been truly inspiring for our family. Your constant thoughts and well-wishes mean the world to us.
Now, I'd like to update you on Elias's recent medical progress. We received the results of his lung x-ray on November 10th, which showed a clear and positive outcome. This news has brought immense relief and fills us with hope for his continued success. Looking ahead, Elias's next chest x-ray is scheduled in three months, and we remain optimistic that his progress will continue on this positive trajectory. Elias will undergo his yearly full-body MRI on November 27.
We are so proud to share that Elias has been attending school full-time since day one, surprising us with his major momentum and determination. As you may remember, Elias had undergone lung surgery just a few weeks before the school year started in September. Due to this, we anticipated a slow start while he regained his strength. However, to our surprise, Elias started the year with major momentum and hasn’t skipped a beat.
One of the most recent highlights has been watching him enjoy special events, like the Rose City Comic Con in September, where he had an incredible time among his favorite characters from Five Nights at Freddy's. He even cosplayed as Golden Freddy, thanks to a special homemade costume crafted by Paul and Lazarus. Elias said he "finally felt at home with his people" while at Comic Con. 
Then, on Halloween, Elias cosplayed again at the movie theater to watch the FNAF movie. His happiness and excitement were contagious, and it warmed our hearts to see him enjoy himself so much. He even got to enjoy trick-or-treating with his brother and a school friend.
Lastly, we celebrated Solo, our beloved dog's 2nd birthday. The kids and Erica made him a cake, and we had a little celebration. Your unwavering support has played a significant role in Elias's journey, and we genuinely appreciate each and every one of you. Thank you for being there for us. #goldenfreddy #fnaf #fnafcosplay #osteowarrior
