In a Regular Room

Yep, you read that right we are in a regular room!!! Quick thank you to Aunt Jen to send out updates-you have helped me a lot keeping everyone informed.

Bubber's electrolytes are getting out of wack again though, but they are wondering if that is related to his Tcells/gut issues due to his Immunosuppression.

He has been laughing a lot. Which you have no idea how much that melts our hearts. He is so darn cute!!!

His longer incision where they opened his chest doesn't look bad but the one where the chest tube was is a little red. So we are putting Bactroban on it and waiting on the Infectious Disease group to come and look at it and tell us what they think.

They did an echocardiogram before he left the PICU on Friday and they said there is a little fluid around the heart but nothing to be concerned about. They will do another echo in a couple days.

His white blood cell count is up but they are not really sure why. They are going to check it again tomorrow and see how it is.

All I have to say is what an amazing little boy we have. He is so darn cute and so darn strong. Keep up the good work Bubber. AND as promised I have a video! Enjoy!




God Bless Caleb!!

Sarah and Brian (and Bubber of course), I truly am amazed. His strength throughout this ordeal is nothing short of miraculous...seriously. I was so worried with him going into heart surgery and now look at him...WOW! And already to a regular room...HOLY MOLY!!! Truly incredible. Please keep us posted. I know this is still a very critical time with the recovery and waiting for the transplant. But wow, the power of prayer has certainly kicked in BIG time for your special guy!

Love to all of you!

Hi Sarah,
The pictures and video were fantastic..How adorable he is!! What a tough little guy, to be in a regular room already, it's unbelievable. I know his parents strength is rubbing off on him. I can't believe how fast he is growing, too. He looks like a 'little man' already. Thanks for the update--CHEERS FOR YOUR LITTLE BUBBER!~!~
as always...love and prayers,
Becky and Bobby D.

Such a treat to be able to watch Caleb's precious video. Thank You! You can see how happy he is to have his mommy and daddy with him. He looks great!

We'll keep praying all these other things sort themselves out and that it's smooth sailing for his recovery here on out.

Brian and Sarah, you guys look great too. You are doing an awesome job of holding up through all of this. We're praying for you too.

So glad you're all together in a regular room again. Thanks for keeping us posted.

Love from MO,
