Good morning! Last week, we brought you the story of Elli Thatcher, who was undergoing a complicated procedure to remove a tumor from her neck and ear. While Elli’s blog hasn’t been updated since early Friday morning, Elli’s boyfriend – Notre Dame quarterback DeShone Kizer – provided a brief glimpse of the recovery Monday on Twitter.

All of us at Her Loyal Sons are praying for Elli to have a speedy recovery. Go Elli. Beat Tuesday.
