Monday Mumsie

Hello out there---Caleb is sitting up in his wheelchair,hangin with Jen and doing speech therapy- he can make humming sounds with his throat and they downsized his tube which means one step closer to having no tube in his throat at all. After the wires are removed in his jaw on Wed. they will cap the tube and if he breathes well on his own for 2 or 3 days - out it comes. He clearly understands so many things - Jen puts her head down to his and he gives her kisses- each morn he hugs me back and gives a kiss on the cheek - he will respond to questions that require a yes or no answer and seems to comprehend most things asked of him. This is monumental! After one hour of therapy he is down for the count and sleeps soundly which is important because when Caleb is bored - we all suffer! He is a bit thinner than all of you would remeber, but I am confident that we can get him back in the saddle , beef him up and get him right back on that broncho. I bless all of you who have helped my family and myself get through this to date - Caleb is so courageous and willing to move forward to wherever he can go in one days time - that is my motto with him - just one day Caleb, just one day at a time. Love to you all. Mum
