Kaleb is still a trooper. He is peacefully resting right now. He didn't throw up last night at all... The nurse said that he had a pretty good night. He still has some problems regulating his body tempeture but for the most part has been stable. The did another procedure on him today... minor. They inserted a pH probe into his nose like a feeding tube and it is sitting in the back of his throat. It is supposed to moniter the acidic level. They are doing this to see way he is throwing up. They still are talking about doing the surgery on his stomach... I forget what exactly it is called but it is similar to having a lap band put on your stomach. This is supposed to close the opening of his stomach some so that it is harder for him to throw up. He also looks like he is having itsy bitsy seizures... infact I don't know if I should even call it a seizure. His eyes start moving back and forth and his lip quivers at the same time but it is VERY mild... maybe it is just a muscle spasm. But all in all he looks like he is feeling a little better.
I know some of you have voiced concerns that Josh and I cannot use your donation for anything except for the medical expenses for Kaleb. Josh and I appreciate your concern and thoughtfulness. The Kaleb Fund was set up according to Fl. Statutes. This assures that your donation will be used in a legitimate manner and not used to buy frugal items such as furniture, cars, clothes, etc. This fund is also managed by an administrator who is not connected to our family to assure that money is properly channeled. Wonderful and caring people who wanted to do something for Kaleb created all donation ideas. Any monies that may be left over will be donated to one of the Shaken Baby support groups. Above all, we appreciate your gracious donations for Kaleb. Kaleb is what this is all about. What started out on "My Space blog" as my plea to my friends for prayer, has spread throughout this country and has brought many people closer to God and this is every Christian's mission…to share the Word. Seems like this is happening. Kaleb is our little disciple because of what happened to him. Kaleb's "silence is golden". His silence has reached thousands of believers and non-believers and only God will know how many lives have been truely touched and transformed because of my little baby.
God is def. showing his presence in our lives and we as a family will whole heartedly follow his word. He is our strentgh. Your prayers and support are also a strength to me, Josh and most importantly Kaleb.
Thank you
