New Link at Left

Just an FYI. I added a new link (at left) . It is a new article on Duke's website regarding Caleb's awesome Dr., Dr. Markert, and her work saving babies like Caleb.

The picture at right is a picture we were fortunate enough to get of Caleb with Dr. Markert while we were at Duke. God Bless you Dr. Markert and your amazing team! Keep up the good work!

God Bless Caleb!!

Caleb had several anomalies to deal with from birth due to his two rare syndromes. Some have been repaired through many surgeries, others will be managed via different methods throughout his life. Some of these anomalies are: hydrocephalis (water on the brain), agenesus of the corpus callosum (missing the major bridgeway between the left and right side of his brain), kiari malformation (small and low set cerebellum), abnormal folds on his brain, deafness (deaf in the left ear and moderate/severely deaf in the right ear), cleft lip and palate, two holes in the heart, an extra atrium (chamber of the heart), hypoparathyroid, severe GERD (reflux), double hip dysplasia, no immune system, severe delays and aversions, hernias (umbilical, inguinal, hiatal), history of pancreatitis (due to being on IV nutrition for an extended amount of time). The list is extensive but this is a general introduction of what Caleb has dealt with.
