Have you ever seen 99 Balloons? If not, what did you think of the video? If so, was it easier watching it again? What can you learn from Eliot's parents?
I have never seen this video before. It was a very heartfelt and sad one. The parents of Elliot were wonderful and strong parents to have cared so much for a baby with so many problems. These parents tried there best to give Elliot life, but God decided it wasn’t meant to be. However, maybe Elliot only lived for 99 days to show that every day could be a person’s last.
Eliot’s parents show their true strength in caring for their son. Eliot shouldn’t have been able to survive birth but he pulled through. His parents backed him and his efforts to survive. By waking up every day at four in the morning and staying up well past midnight they ensured their sons survival. All of us can take many lessons from Eliot’s parents. The thing I saw was love in its purest form.
I have never seen this movie before. It’s very heart-wrenching. I know that I can never understand what those parents went threw. To give so much effort to help their son get better and then die before he is even four months old had to be terrible for them. I don’t think that I would be able to do the same thing. But they are two amazing people to have survived such a feat.
I have seen this before, and every time I watch it I tear up. His parents were so brave knowing that this could happen and still believing, they didn't let it tear them down. It was really a miracle that Elliot hung on that long, and that he really defeated the laws of medicine. From his parents there is a lot one may learn, like to never give up and always have faith, because what seems impossible could very well be possible. This is really sad but at the same time inspiring.
I have never seen 99 balloons. I thought the video was a priceless rendition of what parents do for their children and their unconditional love. Eliot's parents loved and cherished each and every moment they had with their son. Even his sickness could not stop them from enjoying his life. They taught us to love and appreciate what you have because you never know when it will be gone.
I had never seen 99 balloons before and it was extremely saddening. It just made me wonder why God does what he does. There are many things we can learn from Eliot’s parents. We should take everyday as a blessing. We should cherish every last second we have with someone knowing the harsh fact that they could be taken from us at anytime.
I have never seen 99 ballons. I would like to see if I can hold all the ballons and fly. This video was very sad and I do not want to see anymore sad videos. Eliot's parents cared for Eliot from beginning to end. I cannot imagine how many nights Eliot's dad had to stay up to watch after his son. Some parents would not even care if their baby was still living or not. They stayed behind Eliot the whole time and every parent should do the samething.
I have never seen this video before. Honestly I would never be able to watch that video again. 99 balloons is one of those videos that hit you very hard. This is because Eliot’s parents cherished everyday they had with their son. Eliot’s parents celebrated everyday at the time of his birth, took pictures, and tried whatever they could to make their son feel comfortable. Eliot’s parents make me appreciate everyday I have with my family and friends but also how precious life actually is. I don’t think I could ever go through what that family had to endure.

I have seen this video before and it was harder to watch this time than the first time. Just because I knew that he was going to die. When he showed the pictures and they were smiling and happy and I knew that it wasn’t going to last much longer. What I learned from Eliot's parents is take each day and cherish it. Never take anything for granted because you don’t know when it will all be taken away. Love the people you have in your life and never forget to tell them
Never seeing this video before was very heart-wrenching. This little man fought all he could for 99 days. Being that he wasn’t even supposed to be born. It’s a miracle. Eliots parents took to the most of their child’s birth and gave him the best life he could possibly have. With 99 birthday celebrations he lived his life. They both showed the courage and hope they had for Eliot. Watching them do everything possible to help him live just makes you smile in the end.
The video was created to be very moving and so it was. It’s nice how they released balloons at his funeral but also sad. I think Elliot was somewhat lucky in that he had such loving parents. The video must have been hard for his father to make and very emotional for his mother to watch. I think it’s amazing that they kept their faith in God through all of this.
I have never seen 99 Balloons. I thought the video was so sad. I feel bad that that poor little baby boy had to go through that and only lived 99 days even if 99 days was an accomplishment. Eliot's parents had to have been so strong to deal with that. No parent should have to go through losing a child. Anyone can learn from Eliot's parents to be strong and love your child regardless and love and care for your child regardless. Eliot's parents knew his chances of surviving were slim to none yet they still had hoped that he would be okay. They didn't think the worse and they didn't just give up. From Eliot's parents you can learn to never take even one day for granted but to celebrate everyday.
No I haven't seen this video before, but I think the video was very sad, due to the death of their son Eliot in 99 days. You can learn from Eliot's parents that they were very happy for their son to be born in this world, and that they were very loving and caring towards their child.
I have never seen 99 balloons at one time. I thought the video was really good but a little sad. I learned that you need to spen as much time as you can with your kids cause you never know what will happen. This video is very inspiring. I hope Eliot is alright wherever he is.

No, I have never seen 99 balloons. I think it was really sad and shows you to cherish every moment like it is your last because you never know when you’re going to go. They treated every day like it was his last. This with that made him special.
Mrs. Goetz got us to watch this in health last year. It's a pretty touching video. You can learn that when it comes to parenting, you have to do what is necessary for your child to live. it was easier watching it a second time.
I think the video was sweet but it was so sad. I feel horrible that the little boy only lived 99 days. I learned that prayer and faith can change things. His parents stood by him throughout his fight with sickness. I learned to celebrate life with the people you love while you can.
The video was very sad. After watching it I cried. It is hard to imagine how much love somebody can have for their child. Even though the baby only lived a little over three months it made such a positive impact on many peoples lives. This just shows that you can’t take anything for granted and you never know when it may be your last day.
This video I watched today touched me in a very big way. This boy named Eliot survived 99 days with a missing lung, a messed up heart, and wrong DNA. Despite all of this, his parents never gave up. Eliot made me realized that I’m not the only one going through something but also everything happens for a reason. This was a truly inspiring story. Eliot’s parents are strong to share their story. I will always keep Eliot in mind whenever I’m going through something.
AWWWW this video was so touching! It was amazing that little baby Eliot lived that long. It also goes to show you that sometimes doctors can be wrong in how long babies like that can live. Who knows, Eliot could of lived to see his first birthday! Im pretty sure that his mom and dad would of been so proud! I really liked this video.
No. It was sad that every thing in one point or another most come to an end and everything you achieved dies with you. That you never give up and cherish every moment of life with someone because it might be their last.

I have seen this video before and it was still just as sad and heart breaking as the first time. No matter how many times you watch a video like this it will always be upsetting. It had to of been very hard on Eliot’s parents to take care of him, but when you love someone you wouldn’t have it any other way, you would do anything you possibly could to take care of them. Eliot’s parents loved him so much and enjoyed every single minute they had with their son, because they knew they weren’t going to get many. They cherished every second they could spend with him.
I have never seen 99 Balloons before. I thought the video was very touching and heart warming. Eliot’s parents are very strong and I know it was hard letting him go, but it was time for him to go home with the Lord . This comes to show you that life is to short and that everyday should be treated like it’s your last. Never take life for granted because, you never know when it will be your turn to leave. R.I.P Eliot!♥ ♥
I have never seen 99 balloons. It was a very sad 6 minutes. It wasn’t any easier to watch it the second time. Elliot’s parents never gave up hope that they would have a child. They loved every day that they spent with Elliot.
I have seen this video before in Mrs. Bryant’s class. The video is very touching and makes you realize how blessed you truly are. I think even if I did watch it over and over it would still get to me every time. Eliot’s parents are strong to for all they have done/did for there son. God has a purpose for all the things that occur in our life, and I think Eliot’s parents realize how lucky they were to get the chance to meet there son. They showed true love and compassion for him the 99 days they spent together.
This video almost made me cry. I've never seen anything like this before. It's so sad to see a child at such a very young age go through all that. It made me happy, though, that Eliot had such loving parents who cherished his every accomplishment. I learned from his parents that you should always live your life every day; as if you'll die the next. I'm glad that Eliot is in a better place, where he isn't suffering all the time. Peyton

I don’t think I could watch it again, its sad=( I have learned from eliot’s parents that even though it looks like things cant get worse they didn’t give up on their son. When the doctors said he wouldn’t make it to birth they still had faith and believed.
