It is hard to believe that Caleb is four years old today! Wow, my baby is four! I remember praying that he would make it to his first birthday! Wow!
We had a party this past weekend with family and it was so great for him to be around his whole family and cousins again. Just watching him during his birthday celebration was amazing. I can't even put into words what that day meant! He is such a strong little boy. We are so proud of you Caleb, keep up the great work!
Brian and I got him a fish tank for his birthday, which he is infatuated with. He falls asleep watching his fish. He even will go up to his room after coming downstairs for the day to go check on his fish. Too cute! He also received MANY other gifts for his bday and was not scared of one. Which is a huge step in regards to his sensory aversions. Before, it could take Caleb's days, weeks, maybe never, to warm up to a toy that made noises or moved.
Brian and I are amazed at how much he has seem to grown in the last couple of weeks. He is so amazing! He is getting more comfortable with his therapists also.
A huge development for Caleb is it looks like he will be going to pre-school in the fall. We are so excited for him. He will be in a classroom with 10 other differently-abled kiddos, so the class won't be too big. He will also get therapy while he is at school too. I think this will be so great for him. I definitely think it is going to be harder on me than on him. I am a mess thinking about being away from him. I start to tear up...but don't get me wrong I definitely want him to do this it is just going to be hard. I am so excited for him!
Well, I will post birthday pictures as soon as I get some uploaded. A lot are on my phone too, so it could take me a few days. Again, sorry for the delay in posts, we have been a little busy with summer activities and getting ready for baby girl.
Thank you all for checking in!!
God Bless you all!!
God Bless Caleb!!
Caleb was born with two rare syndromes, CHARGE and DiGeorge. Caleb is the 6th person in the world born with both syndromes. CHARGE is a multisystem-effecting syndrome which can cause several severe anomolies. DiGeorge prevented Caleb from developing an immune system. He spent over a year straight in the hospital, had multiple surgeries with a possibility of having more in the future. This blog details his heroic journey and story. God Bless Caleb!!

Happy birthday, Caleb!!!
Where is the school Sarah? Will he be taking a bus?
Thanks girls for the birthday wishes!
Hey Amy! Saw your dad on the news tonight! Caleb will be going to Woodsdale. A smaller classroom with about 10 other differently-able kiddos, one teacher, and two aides. He can take a bus, but I am going to take him and then maybe eventually he will take the bus, we'll see. Can't believe he is going to school!
