So he's learned how to eat! He'll fit into our family really well! They upgraded him from diluted, special-type of formula for babies with sensitive stomachs, to full strength regular formula! He loves it.
Janet is out of one hospital and on her way to another. Hopefully, before the day ends Caleb will have his first meal with Mommy!
Thank you for all the prayers.
They have tried to wean Caleb off of oxygen, but his blood saturation levels drop too low. This, and the results of the latest echo-cardiagram have led the medical team here to decide that he will need to have some type of procedure done soon. The good news is that he is a candidate for a non-surgical procedure that will insert a stent into his ductus that will allow good blood flow into the lungs. This will be done in the catheterization lab. Every decision is made with the next two surgeries in mind. The goal is that the last surgery, the Fontan procedure, will go perfectly. This will be done when Caleb is 4-6 years old.
We have been very blessed and pleased with the disposition and talent of the medical professionals here. They are a gifted group of individuals. We are thankful to the Lord for them.
