Long Days #5 (January 2, 2024)

I am so thankful for days when things feel just right in the world. I am so thankful for God’s incredible provisions for our sweet Caleb.

Today was perfect. Of course, all days are, since they are always exactly what God intended. But, I will take an easy perfect day whenever I can get it!

Caleb could not have done better. He was so sweet and easy. And SO hilarious. Our little tiny pre-op room got so crowded because no one wanted to leave. Caleb had all of us eating out of his hand. And laughing until we cried.

And even better. The results are in and they are glowing. The last scope in October showed a bruised and battered esophogus. And now, just two months later, it is completely healed. Phew. That means we are on the right track. And if I’m being honest, it was a tough track to find.

The special needs parent journey can be so wearisome. We are constantly trying to figure it out. There are so many failures. But we can’t stop trying to solve the puzzle. Because if we do, the pieces just go right back in the box.

Thank you all so much for caring about Caleb. Thank you for praying for him. Oh. And never fear. He did work his connection magic. In a way that only he can. With the purest love and vulnerability. I know you will all agree, we have so much to learn from this precious boy.
