Caleb's Cast

The results of the ultrasound and Monday revealed that one of Caleb's hips, the one that had been said to have "laxity", has not developed completely. If nothing is done, he wouldn't be able to walk. So we have to add an orthopedic doctor on our lists of regularly seen specialists. Supposedly, Caleb will have to have some type of temporary cast or sling in order to help his hip develop. We are still waiting for more info about this. We're not really sure if this has to do with his hypotonia or is a seperate deal.

Do please pray for his physical development that his muscles would develop great and that he would learn how to use them. Thank you so much!

Hi Janet, Genesis, Caleb, and Pat; it's Marisol, I think of you all always and pray, unceasingly, in faith, and trust our Lord God with all His strength, like that big hurricane, and just be in awe of His Holiness, but not afraid; and with the blood of Jesus beg that God will heal Caleb. Amen

Hi Pat,
Sorry I missed you the other day at the hospital...Hope you are feeling better. I saw Caleb and he is such a beautiful boy. I was amazed to see how well he appears on the outside knowing how delicate the problem is inside...I was encouraged to see Janet so strong and trusting despite the circumstances. Please know that you are constantly in our thoughts and prayers. We're here for you.
"The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust" (Psalm 18:2)
We miss you and hope to see you soon. All our love,
Al Trujillo & family
