Clinic Day

Long clinic day tomorrow at Children's hospital for Caleb. One of the appointments, we will see if Caleb could be a candidate for a BAHA implant to help him with his hearing. He has already been denied for cochlear implants. Very hard to be a candidate for these hearing devices, a lot of guidelines. More updates when I can.
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.
