Phew. What a long day. And a sweet one. We began our day with Orthopedics. There were questions and exams and X-rays. And then more questions. Dr. McCarthy was so kind and encouraging and SO full of energy. He thought Caleb was the sweetest. He said he looks great. The bi-lateral foot reconstruction he hadContinue reading “Road to Answers #5 (December 13, 10:45 pm)”

Well friends, God’s perfect provision carried us for the rest of the day. After our visit to the geneticist, we came back to our sweet little boho apartment (with lots of yellow and natural light… my favs). We made orange chicken and spring rolls (thank you Aldi!) in our cozy little kitchen. We ate andContinue reading “Road to Answers #4 (December 12, 10:55 pm)”

Friends, thank you so much for praying. At our 2 hour genetics appointment, Caleb was as calm as a cucumber. The whole time. He was so funny and engaging. He answered every question and more. He sat patiently as I answered questions. Dr. Belonis (geneticist) is an answer to prayer. She is clearly invested. InContinue reading “Road to Answers #3 ( December 12, 1:25 pm)”

Caleb, my mom and I are in Cincinnati in a lovely apartment. We had a very easy trip. We grocery shopped. We made dinner. We played games. Lovely. Caleb is very happy. He is excited to meet his new doctors tomorrow. Yesterday Silas and Chey’s school mama, Mrs. Sheila, stopped by. She had cards andContinue reading “Road to Answers #2 (December 11, 11:15 pm)”

Many of you know our Caleb. Maybe you know him from way back. Maybe you learned about him through the blog. Maybe you don’t know him at all. If you fall in the latter category, you are seriously missing out. Caleb is a treasure. And one of God’s most unique creations. I feel such joyContinue reading “The Road to Answers #1 (December 4)”

Friends, thank you so much for reading these updates. Thank you so much for caring about Silas and for caring about our family. Thank you for praying for us.

Well friends, these updates are about to slow down once again. We have our boy back. There just isn’t much else to say. At this point, I am just straight up bragging when I write about him. Aside from his vision, I believe Silas is back to May 30th Silas. He is sweet and kindContinue reading “Silas Update #120 (September 17, 4:50 pm)”

MRI results are in and they are gorgeous! The clots have most definitely cleared. Of course we heard that news a few weeks ago, but the MRI imaging is even more clear so it is great that there were no hidden issues. There was nothing else the least bit noteworthy or interesting… Yay for beingContinue reading “Silas Update #119 (September 9, 1 pm)”

Hello all!!! Just a very quick update on Si’s appointments from today… Ophthalmology went very well. Dr. Wadley was pleased to see that Si’s horizontal vision has improved even more since the last appointment. His vertical vision showed no improvement. So basically, that nerve is still fast asleep. Apparently, that is to be expected whenContinue reading “Silas Update #118 (September 7, 9 pm)”

“Let us bless the Lord, every day and night, never ending praise… “ We are so very thankful. In the day and in the night. We sought the Lord and he answered us. We cried out to Him. Continuously. We prayed without ceasing. For the life of Silas. And He answered us. I am notContinue reading “Silas Update #117 (September 3, 9:30 pm)”
