PLEASE PRAY FOR KALEB!!!
In speaking with Kristy earlier this evening, she informed me that Kaleb has been admitted to the PICU again. He had been experiencing a fever and posturing (sp?) seizures. He is experiencing many symptoms of menengitis. If Kaleb tests positive for this, he will have to have surgery to remove the shunt that had recently been placed in his brain. The doctors will then need to place an external drain in his brain that will be used to administer a series of antibiotics for 14 days.
All this could take an incredible toll on Kaleb's tiny little body. PLEASE pray that God will heal this little guy's body!!
PLEASE PRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Busy!
Wow! It has been a busy last couple days! First off early yesterday AM at 3 the home health nurse knocked on our bedroom door. Kaleb's J tube was clogged. She tried everything to unclog it and it would work. So I tried to do it and it worked... or so I thought. Another knock came about 3:45. The tube was clogged again. At this point I decide to call the PICU and see what they say. They told me to put sprite in his J tube... So we did this. It still didn't work. So they told me to page the surgeon. He called and told us to take him to the emergency room ASAP because if his sodium drops he can have a seizure. SO we called an ambulance and they came and picked him up. As soon as he got in the ambulance he KNEW where he was going. I mean he was tense and crying. I MEAN HE KNEW. I was very upset that he had to go back there because I knew that they would stick him. So we got to the hospital and of course they stuck him. He was crying and arching. They finally got the tube unclogged by 8:30 and we were out by 9 am. So needless to say we were tired. The rest of the day Kaleb slept due to all of the excitement in the AM. We worked him out a little later in the afternoon and took our first family photo since we've been home. I will be posting this later. Last night was relaxing and we got a full nights sleep. Kaleb has been fussy today. He is much more audioable now which I love. So we have tried not to mess with him too much because he becomes very rigid and starts posturing. He is sleeping right now and listening to Baby Einstein CD.
I know Kaleb will be better. It will come with time and God knows when the time is right for him to progess. I like to think that he sleeps a lot because his brain is doing the healing it should;ve done all the weeks he was on phenobarb. Kaleb is my little angel and I know that he will be a witness for God.
