Eli Tiller was born perfectly healthy. On January 9, 2003, at three-years-old, Eli pushed out the protective screen of his second story playroom window at his home in Powhatan, Virginia. He fell 13 feet head-first to the asphalt driveway below crushing his skull. His mother discovered him moments later unconscious, bleeding and barely breathing. He was med-flighted to the hospital where he remained comatose for three weeks while doctors could not tell his parents if he would survive. After 12 weeks of inpatient treatment and many years of outpatient and intensive home-based therapy, Eli is still recovering. He has been challenged with re-learning every basic human function from speech to mobility.  

Today, Eli is not like other kids his age. His brain processing and physical ability are limited. However when he walks with his bright-blue cane and a smile, he lights up the room! 

Now John and Tricia Tiller are speaking and writing to share the lessons they have learned through this unthinkable tragedy. They are also sharing Eli, an authentic example of how God brings new life and purpose!
