Dentist Visit

Well, Caleb has been just doing great.

He does have a cavity, so he'll be going to the dentist tommorrow. Of course since he's a cardiac kid, it's a bit more involved than your typical visit. He has to get evaluated, they need to involve the anesthesiology team, etc.

We are totally blessed, though, with our kids.

So many people are concerned and are interested and are praying. Thank you for that!

Home and Doing Well

Caleb has been home for awhile now. The first couple days home from the hospital were a little rough. He had a tough cough, scabs from the opening the had to make, stick tape residue all over his body, not eating really well.

But now he's doing good. He's walking alot, playing, eating.

We continue to hear of families who have similar situations and we are thankful that we can go and spend some time with them, often talking about spiritual issues, praying together, or sharing some scripture.

We also continue to be active at Miami Children's Hospital. It's a way for us to get to know people and to be part of what is happening there.

Pneumonia?

Looks like Caleb might have pneumonia. He's getting a chest x-ray today. He's been pretty lethargic, not eating, developed a rash. So we will see...

Rough Night

Caleb stayed at the hospital last night with Janet. His eyes are pretty swollen. Not sure why. He also coughed quite a bit last night and vomitted earlier. We'll see what the doctors say this morning.

Genesis paid a little visit this morning but mommy and brother were sleeping so it was just quiet kisses.

Good News!

Success! Everything went great. Dr. Zahn is very pleased with how Caleb looks. He plugged two large collateral veins. He said we may be able to go home tonight if all goes well.

Now comes recovery. So far we have learned that Mr. Caleb does not like hospitals very much. He hates things attached to him and people poking him. He can be quite fiesty at times.

Thank you for your prayers. We are grateful for good news.

Please Pray

Please lift up the family of Baby Y. They have been given very bad news. This is a family that we have been able to know for several months. We met them at the Christmas dinner that was put together by Calvary Kendall.

We Have Lift-Off

Caleb is now undergoing his cath. It's good to see all the doctors and nurses that know us and know him. They are such nice people. They're good at what they do, as well.

The procedure should take approximately three hours. It's mostly diagnostic. Dr. Zahn believes that he won't have to do any major procedures, but is ready nonetheless. Caleb may need a stent; but we'll find out.

We'll post updates as we are able.

Cath Tomorrow

We will be at the hospital at 6:00am. Dr. Zahn will perform the procedure at 7:30am.
Thanks for your prayers.
