Weaning off Vapotherm

     Caleb looked so much better today.  He smiled at me!!!  They slowly weaned him off Vapotherm and as of late this afternoon, he's on 3 liters of oxygen via nasal cannula.  He's still on IV lasix and they are consulting picc team tomorrow about whether to put a picc line in.  I pray they don't have to, but understand the importance of having longer term access and the likelihood of his IVs not lasting.         Although I melt over his smiles, I literally collapse over him many times a day in prayer.  This time is so comforting to me.  I feel so blessed when others tell me they are praying for Caleb, sending prayer requests, teaching their children to pray for him, and even dedicating their biggest challenges to him-- praying for baby Caleb when it gets the hardest.  This weekend has been more emotional for me.   When I needed it the most, friends and family sent texts, phone calls, messages, even an Ironman triathlon dedication-- it is always such a God- thing in His perfect timing!

  2. Praying for you and baby Caleb everyday! I love that smile so much and can't wait to see it again this week! God won't put you through, what He can't or won't pull you through.
    Love you both! - K
