From my dear friend Anne- Sky & Cedar's mom

It is my privilege and pleasure to tell you that when I arrived this morning to spend a few hours with Caleb, he was in "rare form" as we say when someone is full of spunk! He always greets me with a Caleb Hug and a big smile. Kai is home for the weekend and I know his presence always adds an upbeat atmosphere here; Caleb is so glad to have him home. This morning Caleb's wonderful sense of humor is spilling out with every sentence; that wry -- almost-sarcasm that gets the whole room rollin'. In the past month I have seen such an improvement in Caleb's vocal/conversational abilities. The thoughts and words seem to be lining up and forming with much, much less hesitation and awkwardness. The spontaneous quality of his retorts is returning: watch out!! It brightens my day so very much to spend these few hours with this remarkable young man, who is working diligently and continuously to regain his independence. Caleb's schedule is rigorous with visits to various health practitioners and rehabilitation therapies. Never does he object, however, and he seems always genuinely grateful and eager to participate in whatever program is offered. With this attitude, there is no doubt that he will continue to progress as the Spring bursts new life forth from the deep sleep of Winter. It is also certain that on every level the support of all his friends - both new and old -- helps to carry him forward on his road to health. Blessings to all!
