Caleb Paul Hlebiczki: Trying a Cup

Trying a Cup

This past weekend I tried to start teaching Caleb how to drink from a cup. It didn't go really well. BUT this morning he grabbed my hand and took me to the kitchen and pointed to a cupboard. I opened it up and he pointed to a cup. Then he said 'milk'. I put milk in the cup and we have been working on him drinking from a cup. He seems excited about it, but it seems to be a bit difficult for him! I hope he can grasp the concept! Way to go little man.

God Bless you all!!

God Bless Caleb and Camryn!!

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.
