Caleb is doing well today... He had a few rough days where his heart rate was really up high, his blood pressure was up. They kept giving him bolus' but that just was not working for him. They then started sending off blood work and things including a culture from his lung secretions which came back positive for pneumonia. The great thing is that they started giving him the necessary antibiotics for it before hand so he has five more days of it. His symptoms have already resolved themselves and he is doing amazingly well. His heart rate is 128, bp 88/49, O2 SAT is 96% so he is sleeping and having a GREAT DAY!
I must just say that I am so thankful to be here is Boston. The Church here has been AMAZING, they have been there every step of the way providing support and meals to us. Just today I walked off the elevator and there was a member coming up to bring me food, it was Divine intervention because I was starving LOL! The young women made him a super soft blanket, and the primary made him a TON of cards, which we will put up when Caleb wakes up. The Bishop here is an amazing man and I love talking with him! I am grateful to have the church here with me.
Joel had to go home to take care of stuff and he already misses Caleb... He will be back to visit in 2 weeks and then come for Christmas as we were told to expect to have Christmas in the Hospital. It sucks but at least Caleb will be well and awake, though we will not officially celebrate until we get back home. Oh my how I miss our little house in little Wakefield, I even miss Buddy, stinky and all!
Thanks for all the prayers! Hopefully we will get to see you all close to the new year!
Caleb sends is love!

I do miss you both so much. I'm glad that they caught the pneumonia early that could have been really bad. It's just one more example of a hardship the adversary placed in our path and God's plan averted beforehand.
ReplyDeleteI love the Bishop and the Weston 2nd ward too. I also really enjoyed talking with Mark from the Weston 1st ward.
Add my thanks to everyone and The Lord.

Give Caleb a kiss for Grandma Liz. I wish I could see him every day. I never tire of looking at him and can't wait for him to get well enough to cuddle and play. I continue to pray for him every day. He is such a strong little guy - I am so proud of him and of both of you!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear how caleb is progressing and when you get back to Wakefield give Buddy a big kiss.
