Miracle Workers


Tonight at 10:00pm on ABC is the new show Miracle Workers. One of the hosts and members of the medical team on the show, is Dr. Redmond Burke (second from the left), who performed both of Caleb's surgeries. We love and respect Dr. Burke.

Shortly after we moved back to Miami, our cardiologist, Dr. Mas, told us about the filming of this program for ABC and wanted to know if the producers could call us because they thought our situation would be perfect for the show. For awhile, we thought it would happen, but the timing never worked out.

We do know a little boy Felipe, who was in the hospital shortly after Caleb, who's surgery will be featured in an upcoming episode. He had the Fontan operation. This is the same operation that Caleb will need to have in a few years. During the program you can meet Dr. Mas, Caleb's cardiologist, as well as, I'm sure, other members of the surgical team.

We'll be watching.

Now for an update:
Caleb has been a bit sick, running a fever, lost his voice, very fussy. We think it's no cause for alarm, just a cold, etc. He still is vomitting a bit, but has started to eat baby food. He goes daily to the chiropracter, as this, we believe, will help his reflux. Seems to be working...
He teaches us patience and endurance. He's fun to play with. He needs more therapy, as he evidently has an eating/feeding disorder. He's not sitting by himself, yet, but getting closer every day.

Thanks for all your prayers.

We continue to lift our little Caleb up to the Lord and pray that he can get rid of the cold quickly. We also pray for the reflux situation, and continue to trust the Lord for guidance for the doctors and specialists. May His presence, love and grace be more evident with each day that passes. In Jesus' name, Amen. I love you all!
