Update

The doctors are very pleased with how Caleb is doing. In fact, our cardiologist, Dr. Mas, told me that our baby is doing the best out of all the babies in the unit! (Thank you for the prayers!) Additionally, outside of his heart condition, he is completely healthy! This is very significant because many babies with heart defects have other health problems as well. We are so grateful, and often moved to tears when we realize how much we have been blessed. Caleb is on no medication! He does receive a bit of oxygen through two little tubes in his nose.

There is a slim chance that Caleb will not need the first surgery. "Slim" is the word used by the doctor. There will be a conference Friday morning with all of the doctors, etc where this will be discussed. We should know more tommorrow afternoon. They may decide to continue watching him through his first week of life. Or, they may decide to go ahead and start planning the surgery. We will keep you updated.

Janet is doing well, on her way to recover. She has been in a lot of pain but is moving around and looking forward to being released hopefully Friday. She will then join Dad at Miami Children's where she will have the wonderful opportunity to exercise her mommy duties.

We have seen many children in very critical condition. It moves us to tears. We pray for Jesus to be glorified.

We have had the opportunity to pray with one father of a thirteen year old boy who was thought to be dead a little over a week ago. In a conversation with the dad, he confessed that he was "a backslider". We where able to encourage him that his sins were forgiven and that he had an opportunity to follow Jesus, no turning back. Please keep this brother in prayer.

Today, Genesis will come to meet her brother. Daddy is looking forward to seeing his daughter.

The staff at the hospital is amazing. This is a great place to be in this situation.
