On the fourth of July, 2007 Caleb Potter was involved in a skateboarding accident.
He suffered serious injuries and continues to need all of our positive thoughts and prayers.
This blog is to serve as a space for updates on Caleb's journey of recovery.

Christmas eve

Caleb is finishing his course of antibiotics and then it will be determined if he still needs to have another drain put back in. Seems his CSF fluid is finally being absorbed naturally as it should be- by the brain Yahooo!
I woke at about 3 am and have been captivated by a full(ish) moon peering down at us, me perched by the window and Caleb's chest rising and falling softly under the sheets. We have had a sleepless night - woken every hour on the hour by the room-mates bed alarm, then by the early cleaning man so I just decided to beat the coffee line and sit near my young man and share an intimate conversation with you.
It is one of those gifted mornings where I rise with a gratitude filled heart for all of you and for all that I have, and for who I am. I have grown into someone who I am finally beginning to like. It has taken me 54 years to get here, but the journey has been worth it. This walk has been full of pot holes and land mines and cow dung and I am realizing that stepping into the poo is what has lead me to where I am now: a woman of substance who has a long way still to go - but one who for the most part is willing to laugh along the way while trailing all my many flaws, like a long tail of toilet paper stuck on my shoe. This holiday will ever remain in my heart as I count out the gifts I have been given : the ones I cherish the most.
From Caleb I have gotten the giggles. No one can make me laugh like he does, nor piss me off and then just as quickly disarm me with his charm. Caleb has given me his heart, fully beating, wildly warm, pulsing and pleasing. He is pure, positive energy and is indeed the heartbeat of the family; the one who holds us all together like glue. He slams through the door like he is walking into a saloon and we feel drunk and a little crazed in his presence. He has taught me to not take myself and things in life so seriously.......Caleb has given me a lighter heart.
From Kai I have received the gift of purity. He is honest and kind, quiet and sincere. He is the Ed McMahon to Caleb's Johhny Carson - always willing to be in humble background and therefore is never overlooked. Kai does not settle - he strives for perfection and pushes himself to be a bit more than he was yesterday. He is Zen in his approach to life.
Simply put...by example, Kai makes me want to be a better person.
Max is the mirror that I get to look into. His pool full of big brown eyes calls me on everything and like the good poker player that he is, he is seldom wrong. He forces me in his silent, but deadly way, to look at my shit and to right myself as best I can. Max is a no frills, keep it straight kind of guy who grounds me. From Max I have learned about honesty and the possibility of being humble.
From you - My head swims with all the warm words of encouragement and I float atop the bubbles of kindness that have been presented.
From this laughing,humbled woman who is attempting to be a better mumsie I want to say - Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight. I love you.

Sharyn,

Thank you for this morning's post. It comes after reading Caleb's front page headling article in the Cape Cod Times with beautiful picture of you embracing Caleb. A picture speaks a thousand words.

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your family and know that the New Year will bring new beginnings and you and Caleb back home to Wellfleet for good.

Merry merry

Hi Sharyn-Wow, I get to be the first today!!! I loved your blog and yes, we've stepped in a lot of poo, haven't we? I'm sending a Merry Christmas kiss all the way from Ohio and I hope you feel it gently land on your cheek because with that kiss comes a whole wagon full of love and best wishes for a strong, healthy 2008!! Love you much, Sue

Dearest Sharyn,

Your clarity, grace and wisdom are the gifts you bring to all of us. Peace be with you and yours on this Christmas of miracles. May you plant big red lipstick Christmas kisses on everyone you see. May your boys lift you up and make you giggle. May lightness and joy for all that you have and all that you have manifested fill your heart today with peace.

Merry Christmas to all-

Sharyn,

What took you so long to start liking yourself? A lot of us have liked you from long ago! Glad you finally caught up! I hope you’re not so slow to catch up on the dance floor. Unless your cowboy boots have steel toes of course....

Can you tie a red ribbon around your neck that matches your lipstick so you can look like the gift you are to all of us! Thanks, that picture looks just great!

Speaking of pictures, you and Caleb made the Cape Cod Times again! Now I'll have a new picture of you guys to display on the counter mat at the Liquor Store again! And better yet, you’re showing off your butt again too....

Merry Christmas!
Kevin

"Mom, Why are you crying?....you are pouring tears"....that is what my youngest son just said to me as I sit here reading your Christmas Eve Post with my door and windows WIDE open (it is a balmy 70 degress down here in South Florida with a light breeze....). Your writing is BEAUTIFUL and the love for your children is so "pure". Like I have written many times here - I've ALWAYS loved my 3 boys, but following your story has taken me to a different level of appreciation of them...daily. Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!! P.S. Every year we have a tradition of opening one gift each on Christmas Eve. A tradition my family also followed when I was young. We pick something small (I use to pick the package from my Grandmother that was ALWAYS a puzzle..) This year I'm going to point everyone to a package that contains a different T-Shirt that depicts their individual interests (baseball, fishing, surfing, hunting)....I have a special one under their for me as well....it is my Caleb Potter t-shirt that I am going to wear with pride!!! Again - MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!

Dear Sharyn,

Like Kevin I am thrilled to hear your openness to liking yourself. I haven't even met you and I've liked you from the first word! I love your reflection on what your children give to you. I find myself doing the same thing as I read your words, though my girls are just 5 and 3 -- even kids this young can teach you the world if you're open to being taught. I will try this Christmas to listen to what they teach me and gain from it, following your example. I already have grown through what you have taught me, and for this I thank you deeply. Merry Christmas, Lisa K.

I too am 54 and see myself in your words quite often... although I feel I'm several steps behind. So, thanks for blazing a trail - you help keep me pointed in the right direction. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Sharyn -

Thank you so much for this lovely post...you and yours - all of them - are such a gift to me and mine and we are ever grateful for your willingness to share. You have opened your heart to the world in such a graceful, articulate, unsparing way. You have brought me to tears - both of sorrow and joy. You have taken my breath away in great gasps of recognition - we do ALL share so much under our fragile skins! Your words have become a touchstone for so many of us - I have received a wealth of photographs from generous bloggers and nearly every one of them has come with a testimonial of some sort to that effect.

For these gifts - and so many more that emotion is preventing me from putting into words this morning - I am grateful.
I hope that all that you have offered us is returned to you three-fold (and maybe then some!)
and that your Christmas is a most joyous family affair....hospital or no.

Big love, as always, from me and mine -
Susan

As I sit here on a rare day off, listening to the peaceful sounds of lessons and carols from King's College in the background and watching the antics of the flock of wild turkeys who have adopted us (or rather, our birdfeeders!)I feel that this is an especially blessed Christmas. Thank you, Sharyn, Caleb, Kai, and Max for sharing this journey with us, and in so doing focusing me, at least, on the many blessings and gifts life gives us that I so often just tend to roar by and ignore. Your strength and love is amazing and Sharyn, your writing is pure poetry. Thanks also to everyone on this blog--that there is such goodness and love in the world gives me hope. Christmas Blessings and Best Wishes for the New Year to all. Love from Sherborn, Alycia

Sharyn, you do have some wonderful gifts around you and within you and have the most special gift of being aware of these gifts and being open to receiving more.

ps: I am still looking for a picture. Being often the family photographer I am usually on the wrong side of the lense for things like this.

35yrs ago I sat by my son's bed at Yale-New Haven Hospital. His shunt had become infected with a staph infection and they had to change it several times after that as each one had failed. I just wanted to get him home for Christmas (he was only a year old) but then I had to realize that it was better for him to stay there until everything worked right. It was the longest and hardest fall that I ever had to live through. I know what you are going through...my prayers go out to you and your family...better days are coming...Cathy

35 years ago I sat next to my son's bed at Yale New Haven Hospital. He too was there because his shunt had developed a staph infection. After the infection was cleared up he had to have several more shunt revisions. We had been there for weeks and weeks. I just wanted to get him for Christmas (he was only a year old) but then I realized that he needed to stay there until he was completly fixed. It was the hardest Fall I have ever spent. I truely know what you are going through...my prayers go out to you...Merry Christmas...Cathy

Hi Sharyn

Though I haven't been contributing to the blog, I have been following this long and challenging road to recovery that you, Caleb and the rest of your family have been following since July and want you to know that my prayers and positive thoughts have been with you all the way. I was so sorry to learn of the trip back to MGH but you surely have a wonderful, extended family there who will watch over you at this special time. And your amazing strength, wisdom and love are truly inspirational for us all.

Just want you to know we are sending you our sincere wishes for a joyfull holiday together. May 2008 see you and Caleb home soon to Wellfleet !!!

Love and Merry Christmas

Every step and move we make makes us who we are. You are a great person and mother Sharyn so all those steps taken (even in poo) were well taken!

Hey Sharyn and bloggers,
My bright daughter, Christa, who is majoring in news writing and editing at Ohio University, is looking for an internship for this summer. Does anyone have any connections with the Cape Cod Times or even any Boston newspapers? So now we are networking on this blog!! I hope you all don't mine. Thanks for any ips. Merry Christmas to everyone and Happy New Year!

Ahhh...to be 54 again! I remember it as one of the very best parts of my 'second stage' and if I remember correctly, also started to forgive myself, like who I am, and really really try to like everyone else that I so vehemently disagree with (that's a tough one). Wish you all a wonderful Christmas, a Happy Healthy New Year. It was so nice to see Kai at the bank this a.m. - he got to meet my husband. Little by little we get to know you. The next thing is I want sit and read the great American novel that you're going to write. I pay money to read other people's stuff that's not half as good as yours Sharyn!

No more shunt sounds like a wonderful Idea. His brain is absorbing like it's supposed to sounds like great news. I hope you have time to enjoy the lights on the Boston Common and maybe window shop on Newbury St. I am thinking of you all on Christmas eve and wishing that you have a wonderful Christmas is Boston.

And so here it is, Christmas Eve. It's been another busy day in another busy Christmas season. At last, I kick back with my laptop and to my great pleasure find your post and 40 comments from our blog community. I've read each one carefully and have tried to picture each of you within your surroundings. To the Miner family and all of you other folks lucky enough to have little kids anticipating Santa's arrival tonight... please savor these moments, believe me they will not last.

As for you Ms. Sharyn... I must echo the words of Kevin and others above... what the hell took you so long to begin liking yourself? It's rhetorical... believe me, I already know.

For some reason, the division of holiday labor in our family shakes out such that I end up writing all the Christmas cards. The bulk of them went out in a timely manner, all mailing labels and self-stick stamps; but as always there is the small stack that remains, awaiting personal notes, news from the front lines, or words of comfort or solace. These are the hardest to do, and I always procrastinate. My cousin's widow out in Colorado; a friend I've known since third grade but only correspond with once a year; the parents of a high school friend who died many years ago... and to this short stack I have added the Lindsay/Potter family.

The thing is, I don't know what to say that hasn't been said, that you don't already know, that you haven't already lived through time and again. Your card will come eventually, but for tonight please know that you are all in my thoughts every single day. When Santa visits MGH tonight - and he will - my wish for you is that he'll pull a really good night's sleep out of his bag for all of you. The rest will take care of itself.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Tonight I lit several candles.…one for Caleb, one for the spirit and depth of the Potter/Lindsay clan, one for the energy and kindness of the inner community that surrounds you, one for this broader community that you know primarily though words and prayers and who holds you in their hearts and one for all who are especially burdened by challenges of health, situation or memories.

The full moon now burns as bright as those candles did and the wisps of clouds are like the flicker of the flame carrying these thoughts into the night. On this silent, peaceful bright night may you all find peace.

Oh Sharyn.....The wonderfulness of YOU...How lovely that you have found your center, and are basking in it.....like every other mortal being on this planet, you are a work in progress. Honey, you are in good company, and doing a great job....all we have is time.

I also am eternally grateful for the opportunity to gather in community, and support, encourage, and lift you, Caleb, Max, Kai and pops too, if he needs it. That's what's lovely about community...these is no judging, just pure support, grace,humility and love for you all.

Sharyn, thank you again, as it's been said many times, for your gift of word to us. You lift us when we need it, and we soar to greater heights....you make me want to be a better mom. Thank you kindly for that lesson.

Will be thinking of your this night and tomorrow as a time of renewal and remembrance and gratitude...so grateful Caleb is the vibrant young man who touches so many lives, Kai and Max who are brilliant at being those brothers who love so competely in their special ways, and are always in step with what's best for their Big Bro, and the countless other dear friends and family who hold you in light in love....for this we are grateful.

Peace this night....deep sleep, and may you awaken refreshed....that's what I wish for you this night....you deserve that and so much more.

With my Love and deep Gratitude,

Todo Carino,

Sharyn,

I read your words and smile.....sometimes, learning who we are...REALLY who we are, takes time. Often it takes major stumbles on the road in order for us to be able to take a good look at what we are capable of doing and WHO we truly are.
How wonderful that out of all the chaos and scary dark corners of your past several months,you have learned that you are QUITE the woman, mother, and such a very strong,powerful,giving, loving and GOOD human being!
So when you and your boy return to your home - you can continue on your road, with a stronger sense of yourself, and a stronger knowing that you are GOOD and deserving and special. We all ARE special, in our own ways, and now you need to remember to celebrate your special-ness every day.
I love the way you are so able to describe just WHO your 3 boys are -and what they bring to the table...
I am a mom of 3 also, and your words brought me to do the same with my 3 - it is amazing how unique each one can be - and what a special gift you have to be able to see them so clearly and honestly and celebrate each one of them - for who THEY are!
In short - YOU GO GIRL!!
You are one great lady - never forget that.

Now have a Merry and Happy Holiday with your special bunch of guys.
Can't wait to "hear" when you and Caleb are home again!

Love to you...

Merry X-mas Von Potter/ Von Lindsay clan and Merry Christmas to all! I got some bad news this holiday season, my Uncle Bob passed away. I could go on and on all the lessons I have learned from him but most important, he lived life on his own terms, and he never stopped doing the things he loved. I will hold his memory forever in my heart.

The services are tomorrow, so needless to say that I am feeling very down. The words on this blog are helping lift me up. I am super glad leb is doing well, because I couldn't take one more bit of bad news. I am pulling from your strength, Sharyn and Jennie and from you all.

Remember each day is a gift and time spent with our family and friends is the greatest treasure of all.

I miss you all and hope to see you again soon. Until then kisses and hugs via the world wide web will have to do.
