Update on Kaleb 6/20/07

This is REALLY a short one.

 

Kaleb had an ok night. He threw up a couple times so they decided to stop his feeds. They have done a couple different types of tests and x rays to see what is going on. I haven't heard any results. Josh and I got here a little late because my parents demanded that we did something outside of the hospital... so what did we do? CLEANED THE HOUSE!!! This needed to be done BADLY! It was actually refreshing to look at my house, cleaned! We also went to target to buy a new mop and some cleaning supplies. So back to Kaleb... They also fitted him with a stoller... IT IS HUGE! I took a picture of it! There is NO way this thing will fit in my car. It is sad and releaving at the same time... Sad that he can't be in a normal stoller... Happy because He will HAVE a stroller... This way we will still be able to go to the park! YAY! Now Kaleb is sitting/lounging on a boppy... He seems to like that a lot. He seems to be more tired today than yesterday... probably because they have stopped his feeds. But for the most he is still doing pretty well...

 

I want to say thank you to all who stood up for me against those few individuals that thought it would be fun to be insulting and threatening towards me and Kaleb. I have absolutely no comment for those individuals... I refuse to give them any energy. But thank you!

 

Good news today in Florida. Property Tax Cut... maybe now they will lift the hiring freeze over Florida Fire Departments and Josh can FINALLY get the job that he went to school for for so long. I pray that he gets a Fire Job.

 

God is Good. I still have faith.

 

This is not my son im just trying to spread the word.

I just wanted to say that my son had a shearing injury to his brain. Its not shaken baby, but its as close as it gets. He was in a very bad car accident that shook him all up.

This happened last year, and he is doing a lot better. He has a bit of a drool problem, he is relearning how to walk, and his speech is very very poor, but hes alive and he will be able to have a normal life.

I know all about the huge strollers and the therapies. I was so excited to get rid of the big bulky stroller, then wheelchair when he got better.

I am sure you have heard this a million times, and you will hear it a million more times, but kids are resilient, and the brain is amazing. You will be nearly shocked at the things he will be doing as he recovers. His life is not over, and there is still much hope.

If you ever need someone to talk to who has a child in a very similar situation, let me know.

I read Kristy's myspace and saw this. Its nice to see so many mommies supporting her, her family and baby Kaleb! Well, not just mommies, but everybody!

I'm so happy Kaleb is doing well and fighting! Its just sad that the lady who did this is out walking the streets until her trial!
