HelpBabyKaleb's blog: "Update on Kaleb!! June 15, 2007"

*Kaleb's Mommy's blog. June 16, 2007. www.myspace.com/kristyreynolds* Saturday, June 16, 2007 A small step back... Kaleb is still fighting hard. We got a call on the way to the hospital that Kaleb's blood count was low, so they are going to give him a blood transfusion, infact they are doing that right now. He has been slowing down on his movement in the last 24 hours and they think that it could be a result from the low blood count. He is also having some stridor when he breathes too. When I walked into his room, I got a little scared because of how loud he was breathing. He also had som spit up around his mouth too. So I cleaned it all up and I saw that there was a tiny, tiny amount of blood in the spit up. The nurses don't seemed too concerned about it, so I guess that is a good sign. Tomorrow will be Josh's first Fathers Day. I think we will end celebrating it here at the hospital for my Dad too. That is what we did for Mother's Day. Maybe I will bake a cake when I get home tonight. We have received an very LARGE amount of pakages. I took a picture of all of the stuff we got today and I have been trying to upload them, but for some reason my camera is acting weird. I will try to post it up later tonight. We rcv'd so many packages that my ENTIRE couch is filled and stacks up about 4 feet high all the way accross!!! WOW! WE ARE SO THANKFUL FOR ALL OF YOU. Kaleb just threw up, alot. He looks like he feels really sick today. The throw up was kind of brownish...This is the color that blood is when It is old. Hopefully it is brown just from the last bleed that he had. This just happened while I was in the middle of typing this. He started throwing up on his back and luckily the nurse was standing right by him to turn him to his back. I am so afraid that he is going to aspirate and then develope pneumonia (sp)... That would be horrible! Tomorrow I am excited to go to church. I feel like there is something that I need to hear tomorrow that is going speak to my heart. I will be saying an extra special prayer tonight for all you Dads out there.

*This blog was posted on MySpace by Kristy, Kaleb's mom. God be with them all!* June 15,2007 Kaleb had an Ok day today. The doctors have ordered speech therepy to start coming in daily and I was told the the lady who does it that this was a good sign. Today we focused on stimulization. I talked directly into Kaleb's ear and he responded by slightly moving his head to my direction. His breathing also increased. Then we played the lullaby glo worm and his arms shot right up in the air!!!!!!!!!! I mean STRAIGHT UP! I was so happy to see that. Then we focused on his mouth. We took a soft rubber thing and rubbed it against his lips and he would kind of smack his lips together. The speech lady thought that he did REALLY GOOD today. I was so happy to hear this! He is making leaps and bounds and I pray that this just continues. There has been a problem with his breathing pattern today though.... It has been kind of lower than normal. So I hope that this is nothing serious. His o2 sats are perfect though so I am sure that it is nothing serious. This weekend is Father's Day... so I went out and got Josh something small. I had to run a couple of errands today. So I haven't been at the hospital too much today =( But Grandpa was! Now we are all here Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, and Grandpa. Tonight Josh and I are going out on our date! We were told in one of the letters that we rcv'd to go out on a date... so we are going to celebrate fathers day tonight. Thank you to that special someone who made this possible. The Arraignment to coming up VERY SOON. I am anxious for this... I need to pray about this. Please continue to pray for my little man, Pray for his breathing to improve and pray that justice will be served for him.
