Hospital Hurricane Adventure

Caleb has taken some steps forward and others backwards during the last few days. He is now able to cry, swallow and move his body a bit more. They will begin physical and occupational therapy on Monday so hopefully that will help to further strengthen him. We are now able to hold him again which is great! They started feeding him milk by mouth, but decided it was too much for him to handle at this point. They reinserted the feeding tube and have added some fortifier to his milk as well as giving him vitamins in hopes that he will start gaining weight and strength to breathe and eat without any assistance. The doctors are still a bit concerned because he is still breathing fast and shallow; his heart rate drops very frequently which means he has arithmias; and they found a hazy lung in his chest x-ray. They will deal with this next week since things here have been slow due to the hurricane. Please continue to pray for strength for him and that the arithmias will go away without medical intervention. The doctors told us that he had the arithmias when he first came to the hospital and they disappeared and reappeared again. Thank you so much for praying with us and for us!
