Elijah was an extraordinary young man who touched all of us here at CHOP. Thank you @AlexsLemonade for sharing the great pictures, including Elijah playing the guitar he loved.

We are at CHOP today. Elijah’s had an echo and is getting ready for his MIBG injection. He will have scans tomorrow. We signed consent yesterday for the new trial and if testing is all good, they will draw the... https://t.co/deM35LaKFp
What happened today to @JussieSmollett must never be tolerated in this country. We must stand up and demand that we no longer give this hate safe harbor; that homophobia and racism have no place on our streets or in our hearts. We are with you, Jussie.
