So Caleb is so stable and doing so well they have decided to wake him up a little bit! And I just saw him move ever so slightly since Tuesday. He even moved his head a bit. He reacts to our touch which is awesome.
We also got some excellent news from Dr. Jennings in just 2 days of stretching Caleb has gained 2 and 1/2 cms!!!!!!!!! He did warn us that the rest of the needed growth may come slowly but we are optimistic that he will need the shortest time! They are also going to be start inflating the balloon 3 times a day now. Thank goodness the other Drs did not attempt to repair him. If they had it would have been much harder to get the results we are currently getting.
The other little boy who got here on Wednesday and had surgery yesterday is also doing well. Gracen (I have been spelling his name wrong) is doing well.
We are actually doing very well. Even staying in the hospital dorm room has not gotten old yet. I actually like it because I have 24 hr access to the little man.
Please continue to pray for us. Those prayers are keeping our son healthy and safe and keeping us sane!
Love you guys!
Ernestine, Joel, and Caleb
That's fantastic! Caleb is strong and he loves you all very much, and knows you love him. I am praying for a fast "stretch" and good results all around. Has his bowels "awakened" yet? I pray for all of you and with a mother's heart for my grandson. Brother Davis once said a mother's prayers carry more weight so I am throwing all my weight around for my son and my grandson. :) And I know Ernestine is using her "mother" status too. If the mother can carry this influence, just imagine what the father and mother together can do with prayer! Keep the faith, hold tight to each other and little Caleb.
