First I want to say thank you for all of the thoughtful emails, phone calls, and prayers.
Caleb is still in the PICU in critical condition. He still has about one or two 'unstable' times a day. We are hoping that these are lessening in degree though. He is starting to get rid of his extra fluid by urinating, which is great as he is VERY swollen. He pretty much was reaching the point that he couldn't hold any extra fluid and they were worried this may cause problems for his internal organs. He still has times when his Acid levels and Carbon Dioxide levels aren't within normal range. We are hoping that once he gets rid of some of this fluid that these gases will stay within the normal range. It is a very nervewracking waiting game.
We continue to pray that Caleb continues to make baby steps in the right direction. We pray he can continue to get rid of this fluid and we pray that his gases can start STAYING within normal range.
God Bless Caleb!

Caleb,
Each morning on my way to the daycare, I say prayers with my 2 boys. We just want you to know that over the past couple of days you have definitely been prayed over. Keep hangin in there little guy. You can do it!
Just want to let you know that even though he's not here at Children's anymore, we are all still thinking about him. You also know that I'm continuing to pray for Caleb and for your family (and so is an entire church in Cranberry!). He'll fight through this.

Caleb is an incredible fighter and truly is in God's hands. I watch him with Sarah and Brian and I know that all will be well. We all must keep our faith strong and pray often. Don't forget that there are so many children in need of our prayers...just read the comments to this blog.
PS A special hello to all the staff at Children's Hospital. You are a truly phenomeinal (sp)group of peope. Tell Gramma Donna I said hi. My love to Dr. Frankis-Kakis (SP), Dr. McPeak and to the marvelous Dr. Vellody.
Sarah- I found Caleb's site in a very round about way. I spent two hours reading every word to follow his progress.I shared it with all the girls in the office and they now have it bookmarked and check daily for updates. Please know that you all are in our prayers. Have your mom call me if there is anything we can do here to help you. Stay strong. Keep fighting Caleb. God Bless.
Hi Caleb,
You are still in our thoughts and prayers.
Hugs,
Sarah, Jeremy, and Evan
