Alligator

Well, Awhile back I posted that Caleb had a new fascination with Alligators and I mentioned that

we were looking for

alligators for him. Well thanks again to one of our wonderful friends Caleb received a little friend, an alligator, in the mail. Thanks Lara and Family. He absolutely loves it! Of course, like any other toy, it took some warming up to, but he took to it and loves it!

We actually use it during our feeding therapy with Caleb and pretend the alligator is eating too!

God Bless you all!!

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.
