Caleb Update

Dear praying friends;
Thank you so much for praying for Caleb right now, we are definitely feeling your prayers. Caleb’s leg and foot are looking MUCH better today, there is still some restricted blood flow but it is pink at times and looking much better. Please continue to pray that the clot will be completely resolved and that the Dr. will be able to determine if the clot was just an effect of a catheter they put in him, or if there is some underlying blood disorder that caused it. His breathing is about the same and he is still breathing with the help of a ventilator, this is not abnormal. His lungs need to mature and the pulmonary hypertension needs to be resolved before we will see changes, but he is taking step steps in the right direction. I asked the Dr. point blank if she felt he was out of the woods as far a surviving and she said there is nothing going on right now with him that is life threatening. This was such a relief for us to hear; I think Greg and I both breathed for the first time in days after hearing that.
Greg and I are both here with him in Denver and the hospital has given us a room to stay in last night and tonight. We are on a waiting list for the Ronald McDonald House, so please pray we will be able to get in there in the next few days. I was able to get at least 6 hour of sleep last night, which is more that I have gotten in the last 4 days combined, so we are feeling a lot better and are not quite so emotional. The Lord continues to comfort and encourage us (of course) and today he brought my all time favorite verse to mind, so I will close with that:

Jeremiah 29:11
“I Know the plans I have for you says the Lord, Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope. And you will call to me and I will answer you when you seek me with all your heart.”

Calling to Him;
