Well here we go again. They are going to try to repair again today. They took Caleb and hour and a half earlier than planned so Grandma and I got here just in time to walk him down and kiss him bye. Poor Ernestine it was 3:30am her time and I rang her phone a bunch so she could say love you and be strong before they whisked him off.
I'm not really very confident that he is ready to repair today. As Dr. Jennings stated Tuesday that his gap had not really changed from the 1cm it was at last attempt. They put him under strong traction Tuesday so we can only hope and pray that the tension produced the nearly miraculous grown from the beginning.
Love,
Joel, Caleb and Grandma Liz.
Having experienced what Joel and Ernestine go through, I can honestly say I don't know how they have the strength - I would say, their faith carries them and bolsters them each step of the way. I am very proud of both of them. Caleb is a fighter and was very strong and looking good this morning when they took him down. I got to watch Joel help with Caleb's sponge bath and lotion treatment last night which was warmed my mother's heart. I am hanging with Joel until tomorrow when Ernestine will be back. I know Caleb needs his Mommie more than his Grandma Liz, but he does react to me so I think he knows who I am. We sit, waiting and praying for Caleb's safety and hopefully a repair today, if not then they will try again Saturday.
