Doing Good

Caleb's actually doing quite well. Today is Tuesday and on every Tuesday Caleb spends a couple hours at Miami Children's Hospital with his friends Sara (physical therapist), Meredith (occupational therapist), and Laura (speech therapist).

All of them think Caleb is doing great. "He's our little star. We're so proud of him."

He is behind on speech but we are confident that he'll catch up.

Thank you, Jesus, for doing a good work in Caleb.

Caleb Not Eating

Caleb's home from the hospital after his dental surgery. He's not eating well AT ALL. Please pray that he starts eating better. His eating doesn't have to do with his dental stuff; he was having this problem before.

Anyway, it's enough to drive you crazy, especially since he was eating so good before.

It's not that he's picky or just eating a little - he's really not eating for real.

Thanks for your prayers.

Dental Work Done

The dentist plugged four cavities and crowned several of his teeth. The doctor explained that one of the reasons he has weak teeth is because of the lower levels of oxygen.

He'll be at the hospital for awhile recovering. We will either go home tonight or tomorrow morning.

Operating Room Tomorrow

At 6:00am Tuesday morning, Caleb will be at Miami Children's Hospital one more time. This time, it will be dental work that will take place. Caleb has a tooth that is decaying, a cavity, and hypoplasia (teeth that did not develop properly, evidently he has little holes in his teeth).

So they will take x-rays first. Then they will cap all his teeth so that he will be protected from future cavities and decay. Of course they will fix anything else that they see wrong.

Obviously, Caleb will be under general anesthesia, so recovery and eating are always an adventure.

Thanks for going on this journey with us through your prayers. Please continue to accompany us!

Three Stiches

So Friday night at church, Caleb stumbled and knocked his head on the tile floor. So we had family night at Miami Children's Hospital. We've never seen that place so crowded. Thanks to Caleb's heart condition, we always have short waits at the ER. They take us in right away. That was good.

The cut was deep and wide enough to warrant three stiches. Caleb is doing great now. In fact, he just made Genesis cry, so I gotta go. Bye....
