Which I totally missed because I was in the cafeteria! Joel got to met the great Dr. Foker, who is very old and I am glad he pioneered this procedure but am extremely happy he is just watching and coaching! So Update two was not completely correct. There were two scope procedures the first one was fine the second on showed a very small mound on his trechea which indicates a fistula. They wont know until the go in and look at it. If it is a fistula they will be able to just repair it.
So they have just now started the big surgery. But they assured us that Caleb is doing very well. He is tolerating everything very well and there are a whole team of about 10 doctors in there taking care of him.
One of the other families that are here just came down to check on us. They are SUPER sweet people from South Carolina. There som Gracin is so cute I think there is some so special about EA babies. Another EA baby arrived yesterday. We have been so wrapped in our stuff that we have not met them yet.
Joel is doing very well and I just sent him down to eat. The best thing is that there is a huge famil waiting area and the provide pillows and blankets so I will be taking a nap :)
More to come I am sure.
I am glad you all are taking care of each other and placing faith in God to guide the team that is working on Caleb. I am also thankful that you have other families that know what you are going through. The Lord is with you and offering comfort all along the way! Caleb is a strong baby, shown by how he has handled everything so far. Your love and faith will carry him quickly through recovery! Stay strong and hold on to each other.
