Caleb Update

Dear Friends and Family;

Today has been a great day for us! Caleb is doing so well in so many ways. Just since yesterday he has gone from a CPAP (kind of a helmet that they wear that pushes oxygen into his lungs) to just an nasal oxygen tube. The hematologist saw him today and was very pleased with his foot also. He said they will give him the blood clotting injections twice a day until the end of the week and then he will be done. Probably the biggest impovement he has made has been digesting food. Yesterday they were giving him milk from a feeding tube and he wasn’t digesting it at all, today he is drinking from a bottle and digesting it! They will slowly increase his feedings by 6 ml every 12 hours until he is eating 2 oz every 3 hours, I might even get to try to nurse him tomorrow. We spent the day holding him and bathing him and giving him his bottles. He would just fight to open his tired little eyes to look at me when I sang to him. His voice is back from having the ventilator tube in too, so we get to hear those sweet little baby squeaks, and a few squalls 🙂

We are feeling so thankful that our little boy will be OK and will be coming home with us soon. We are so thankful for each of you and for the way you have been upholding us in prayer, and encouraging us with your emails and phone calls.

Greg and Pam Berglund
