Caleb Paul Hlebiczki: 'C' is for Cat

'C' is for Cat

So a little snip it so I can brag about my amazing son.

Yesterday Caleb was in the tub and we were playing with his letters, that we got thanks to our friends at Xerox, that you can stick to the side of the tub. Well he put the letter C up on the side of the tub and said 'meow' and signed 'cat'. I was so shocked and happy. I am reminded of Caleb's delays by the therapists notes on their evaluation sheets when they visit, but it is times like these that you know that yes even though he is delayed he is defenitely very smart and wants to communicate and learn. Way to go Caleb!!

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.
