Korri, I thought about you so much yesterday. I know that your heart aches. Truly Caleb could not have asked for a better Mother. I do not know many people who would of been as devoted as you were. I admire you so much. Caleb was you son and he always will be. You were never selfish, you always put him first above your own needs. As he looked down on you on Mother's Day I know he said thanks Mom and Gran for all you did! God Bless you Korri. I pray that God is with you and your Mom each and everyday as you hold your memories close.

Korri,

We just wanted to say Blessed Mother's Day. I know that this has been a hard day for you especially. We have all been thinking about you and praying that this would be a good day for you as you reflect back on the many days and years that you were blessed enough to have such a precious child in your care. You have been such a devoted, dedicated mother, and have given so much of your life to the care of Caleb. You learned that strenght from your mother who is also so very giving and loving. Ronny & I thank you for being such a wonderful mom to our little man and pray that you will get through this day remembering the wonderful times that you and Caleb shared. Know that he is watching over you and Gran and all the rest of us who loved him so. God bless and may you feel peace this day.

Love,

Ronny & Jackie

Korri,
"Many words can be uttered;however a person's actions demonstrate sincere intention."

Your love and devotion to Caleb the past five years is a celebration to the spirit of motherhood. No one deserves
more respect than you on this Mothers Day. You put your own needs aside to make sure that Caleb was cared for and protected.

Your personal goals such as school, work, and relationships were set aside because of your loving devotion to Caleb.
Many hours were spent living alongside Caleb in hospitals.
Often, you did not have a bed for yourself and would not get the rest you needed. Your spent several weeks alone
in Pittsburgh and turned those lonely times into positive
action by helping other young mothers who were fightened.

The support you received from your mother during this
difficult time is also a testiment to motherhood.
Your mother provided a loving, caring, compationate
home for you and Caleb. Caleb had a special bond with
Grandma Cindy and it was in his home that he learned
his gentle ways.

We are very proud of you Korri for being the mother God wants us to be.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have prayed over the past year for you and Caleb. I have only met you a couple of times but hear regularly through my daughter Lisa on how things have been. She looks up to you and has received great inspiration from you and Caleb. Caleb has blessed her heart and givin her so much in the little time her and Tyler have known him. I know that your faith and strength will carry you through the hard times. Again I cry for you both and am thankful to hear that he is no longer in pain and happy in heaven with his grandpa. Thank you both Caleb and Korri for what you have given Lisa and Tyler.
God Bless

Son,
I don't even know what to say. I miss you terribly! I am comforted knowing you are in Heaven with Grandpa and most of all that you are HEALED! Daddy thinks of you all the time. I really hate my long drives to and from work, you are on my mind constantly. I don't know if I will ever be able to see a picture of your goofy smiles without tearing up. I wish God's plan for you was different but hey, who am I to question that. It is clear to all that you had a purpose. God's ear must be sore from the 5 years of prayers sent up for you. You made me proud. I hope one day I will be the man you always have been. I love you and miss you.
Love, Daddy
Daddy <jaredrasbeary@yahoo.com>

I never met your boy but I know that Caleb is being welcomed by all the family and friends who have gone before. He is surrounded and embraced, they have missed him. He is free from all tubes and needles and pain. May God's angels surround you and comfort you as you live without Caleb. May your greatest peace come from your faith and knowing that, through God, we will all be together again.

I am so sorry to read about the loss of Caleb. I only met him once or twice around CHP, but I know how special he was to so many people. I know he will be forever in anyone and everyone's hearts who he came to meet during his 5 years. May you now take comfort in knowing that he is in a better place, and will surely be watching down upon you all. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Caleb James,
How do you say goodbye to your one and only grandson? I was there when you were born and I was there when I said goodbye to you one last time. You were the bravest boy I knew. You endured so much pain in your short life. You endured more pain than most people do in their life time.
I will miss you terribly. To me you were the sweetest boy in the world. No matter how sick you were, you always were happy to see me. You would take my hand and guide me to the couch so we could watch your favorite movies.
I know you are in a better place and free of pain. When your grandpa Claude saw you he said "Hey boy, what took you so long". I know he will take care of you for us until we can all be together again.
I will always love you, Gran (sometimes called Granny)

Oh!!! how I wish I had the right words to say. Reading your journal Caleb has be come such a way of life to me, I will probably check in as long as I can. Praises are being lifted up to Our Lord for the precious gift we know as a little boy named Caleb. Rejoice in all the glory that we know you're seeing right now this very minute.Rejoice Rejoice and again I say Rejoice. we are the ones missing out. Like David said, He cannot come to me but I will go to him,He was speaking of his own son that had gone to be forever with our Lord.
God be with your family in the loss of you, but they will see you again.
God bless,

I just want to say that I remember Caleb when he was first born-so precious, and who would have known what lay ahead for him. I have no idea why these things happen, though I keep asking God and analyzing it in my mind. And it seems to happen to the nicest people. I have followed your journey through updates from your good friend Shelly Patterson, and have been amazed at your strength, Korri, and I am so sorry for your loss. I hope that this is the worst that you will ever have to endure in your life. I know that now must be extremely hard for you. I am praying for you. And as I think about Caleb, I know that he would want his mommy to be happy, and to have a good life, knowing that you will ALWAYS have him with you in your heart. You were his most everything, his hero, and you made his life the best it could be. There are so many people here at Texas Children's Hospital that are thinking of you now. God bless you and his dad always, and grant you peace that only He can give.

Houston, TX - Saturday, May 5, 2007 11:19 AM CDT

Hey Little Man. Now you are five years old and Paw Paw and I know that you celebrated the most wonderful birthday you have ever had sitting in the arms of Jesus while the angles sang "Happy Birthday" Bet Abigail sang louder than them all. PawPaw and I prayed for your mommy, daddy, and Michelle, and all of the rest of our family that we could celebrate your life without too much sadness and be glad for you that you are with Jesus. I know that you are watching over all of us and that you will ask God take care of us when we are sad and missing you, and that He will remind us of how happy you are.

I have a really close friend that has a little boy named Jordan in Heaven. You probably know him already. His mommy sent me a letter that was written in a book that she said gave her a lot of comfort everytime she misses him. Please be patient with Nana while I type this letter so that all of us can receive the comfort from knowing that you are a happy, healthy, little boy safe in the arms of Jesus.

"I'm feeling some of the hurt with you as the reality of your little boy is gone begins to take hold. I realize that you won't be able to see him grow up and you won't have the joys and griefs of mothering/fathering him.

But think what lies ahead for him. Can you imagine he will be taking his first steps on the streets of Heaven! Hanna was a mother who certainly knows how special a little boy is. Perhaps she will be the one who will let him hold her finger as he takes those first staggering steps on the streets of gold. Maybe she will be the one who will coax him into taking his first steps alone. Perhaps Dorcas will see to it that his hems are let out and the buttons are sewn on for the growing boy that he has become. And Joshua! Just think what it would be like for a little boy to climb into his lap and hear, first hand, about the battle of Jericho! Maybe Peter will take him fishing some day.

He will never fall from a tree and break a leg, for there's no pain or tears there, he will never be afraid of the dark, for there is no darkness there. The King of Kings, the Lord of Lords is the very one that said "Let the little children come to me". I expect that there will be many times that He, Himself, will take that little boy of yours into His lap, and let him know a love that makes all other loves seem puny by contrast. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the Heavenly Father keeps a few lollipops handy, just for such occasions.

One day, you will be greeted with a "Hi mommy", Hi Daddy", "Hello everyone", I've got some of the neatest things to show you and some really fantastic people I can't wait for you to meet."

I hope that this doesn't make anyone sad but that it will help us all to know the joy and peace that you are experiencing now. You have touched so many lives and have given us all so many blessings. PawPaw and I are so proud to have been a part of your life and we are so blessed to be your grandparents.

Enjoy Heaven, health, and happiness because you so completely have earned it. We will see you in God's time and in God's will.

We love you,

PawPaw & Nana

It really was a "happy birthday" wasn't it Caleb! I know you were playing with your angels and smiling down on Mommy, Daddy, Michelle, Gran and I while we sang Happy Birthday to you. We enjoyed blowing bubbles for you and your Gran tacked your birthday sign on your twin trees. The wind was blowing your purple balloons and the little purple pin wheel was spinning so fast for you. The best part was when the 4 deer came out of the woods and stared at us. You never got to go hunting with Daddy so that was really special to have the deer come out on your birthday. Your Daddy said the deer were waiting for us to leave so they could eat your flowers! It was the best party complete with smiles and sharing happy memories. The only thing missing was tears...thanks to all the prayers of many. For you, Caleb, every day is party day playing at the feet of Jesus.
Loving you always,

Hey Caleb!

I can't believe today you would have been 5!! In my mind you were always a baby... sweet "little" Caleb, and looking at you yesterday, I realized how much of a big boy you were/are! I blinked my eyes, and all of a sudden... you weren't a baby anymore! It sure would have been fun to see you digging into a birthday cake today! Or trying to jump in a moonwalk...running around with your cousins and friends! But even though my heart aches that you aren't here with us anymore, I am so happy that you will never feel any more pain! You won't ever have to be picked and prodded... your belly won't ever be sore again.. and you get to run and play.. and be a happy little boy!!

I love you Caleb!

On this, what would be Caleb�s 5th birthday, I am lifted by the thought of him being strong and healthy and worry-free with the Lord. I am thankful for the opportunity to know him and be able to have May 4 as a day that is untouched by the stress of daily life. It will always be Caleb�s birthday, reason enough to smile inwardly and be grateful for the kind of love that shadows all other experiences and events in our lives.

Korri, Jared, and Family,
I was so sad when I heard about Caleb. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Caleb was such a special little boy who touched so many lives. I will always remember all of you as you are such a wonderful family who gave Caleb a great life so full of love. I know his almost 5 years of life were so filled with love and he was so blessed to have such a great family! I am so sorry I was not able to make his funeral as I wanted to so badly, but please know you are in my thoughts and prayers and always will be.

To Caleb's Family,
I don' t have the words to say to bring the comfort you need at this time. Only our Lord Jesus Christ can be with you and comfort you in the days ahead. For almost 3 years I have checked Caleb's page to see what was happening in his life. I have prayed and asked God for healing and He has answered that prayer. Caleb is in Heaven with the ultimate healing, He has touched more lives in his 4 years than most people do in a lifetime. God has used him in a mighty way. God bless you Jared, Korri,and Michelle. God bless you Donna. I have seen a great witness for the Lord just from reading these pages. We may never meet this side of Heaven, but one day we will all be rejoicing with Caleb and all our loved ones when we reach that ultimate healing as Caleb has. My life will never be the same again. I will always remember a little boy with a big smile named Caleb. I never met him but one day I will and I will know him. God bless you all.
In His wonderful love,
Sidney

My darling grandson, Caleb. I am so thankful for the 5 years God gave us with you. We have such precious memories to hold on to. I am most thankful that your Mommy and Daddy did not chose the road other young parents may have taken when they discovered you were not perfect in the womb. They knew you were perfect in God's eyes, designed by Him for His glory. I am so thankful for the mother God chose for you in Korri. I could not have asked for a more devoted and caring mother. I am so thankful for my son, the father God chose for you. Many young men would have run the other way but your Daddy loved you with all his heart and stood by you. When I thought it not possible, God provided the most wonderful step-mother for you. Michelle has loved you as her own and you, Caleb taught her how to be a mother. I am so thankful for your Gran, that you lived with, too. She has been selfless, giving of herself to help care for you, loving you with her whole heart. Aunt Kristin has been a quiet rock, always there for your Mommy and for that I am so thankful. I am so thankful for your Aunts Debbbie, Janet Marie, Carrie and Carla, their husbands and children for loving you and supporting your parents in all their decisions they have made for you in a life time. Most of all Caleb, I am thankful for the testimony of Jesus Christ, witnessed in your life by the countless miracles He gave you. You truly, have been used by God far more in your short life than most who live to adulthood. I can just hear our Lord saying, "Well done my true and faithful servant." My heart is heavy with grief for my own selfish loss of missing you, yet I am thankful God was merciful and ended your pain. I am so happy that you are face to face with Jesus and all your angels, especially Abigail. I can only imagine Grandpaw's face when he took you by the hand. I smile thinking that by now, you have met your Uncle Darryl, too! And Caleb, just look at the numbers of family and friends and strangers...thousands who have taken the time to ask God to bless you and our family. What a blessed family we are to have these dear people cross our path. When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be! Until then, my dear grandson, know that I loved you with all my heart.

To Caleb, my Nephew and Godson,

I will miss you dearly. You are truly my hero and I have cherished every moment that I got to spend with you. I will never forget our trip to the Zoo, watching "Finding Nemo", Christmas, playing Thomas the Train, hearing you sing the Winnie the Pooh song- "Forever Friend", reading your flash cards together, hearing you count to ten in Spanish and so much more. You will forever be in my heart. I will meet up with you again one day. I love you, Mr. Handsome! Hugs, kisses, butterfly, and eskimo! High five and low five!
Aunt Kristin
Houston, TX - Thursday, May 3, 2007 1:59 AM CDT

As a mother now myself, I can only imagine the agony your hearts are going through at this moment. As I read the latest post and watch Caleb's pictures passing to the words of a beautiful song, my tears are running freely. Caleb truly is safe in the arms of Jesus. I took care of Caleb in the Premie nursery and and have followed his difficult journey through this carepage. I will remember your family in my prayers and know that you will gain strength from the Lord. To quote a song that has helped me through hard times, "I know the Lord will make a way for me. When my way I cannot see; seems there is no hope for me. I know the Lord will make a way for me." Goodbye sweet Caleb.

Jarred and Korri, "The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart" Psalm 34:18. Caleb fought the hard fight and so did you. We ask God to bring healing to your suffering. Even though we never met him, we know that he blessed you and others by his life. We know that Caleb walks with Jesus today and someday the circle will be unbroken!

My heart aches for you and your family. Caleb is looking at you with a twinkle in his eye from heaven. Know that you did the best for your son and your love over the 4+ years kept him strong. He must have been a super special little boy for God to want him as much as he did!

I always admired the two of you for being so young and haveing the courage to keep going. I pray that your next few days,your heart is put at ease that Caleb is now in the grandest place ever. To him Heaven is a big playground. He will have no more pain or worries, and neither will you. We can't question why Caleb, God decided that it was his time to come home, so all we can do is accept that and no that he is greatest hands. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Remember this is not Good Bye,it's I'll see you later.

My name is Julia Sharon & I have been friend about 22-23 years and when she hurts I hurt to. We know that Jesus is playing with Caleb now, I can just see them laughing and Jesus hugging him reasuring him all will be well with him. As for you Mom - Dad I cannot imagine but I am praying for you as I know your pain and grief is unimaginable. To all I will be praying for all of you though I never met any of you though Sharon you mean something to me and so does Caleb. What a precious one, his pictures are awesome! May Jesus carry all of you at this time in your life - I am certain if you look back you will only see One Set of Footprints in The Sand - Jesus's. He loves you and He knows you know Caleb is well and whole and happy but He also knows that bringing Caleb home has left a wound here on earth - May All of You Rest in The Arms of The Lord.
Many Blessings, I will continue to pray for you.

A precious child with a special purpose in his short time here, a purpose to Glorify The Father, to "teach" love and to "be" loved by all who came in contact with him. And now he is in a place where there is no pain and his smile will never fade again.

I pray for the Father to wrap you ALL in his mighty arms,
and comfort you ALL with the Peace that passes ALL understanding.

My deepest sympathy to all of you! I have watched your web site for some time now and Caleb has touched our lives. I have never personally met Caleb but did see him at Childrens when my son Luke is in. Our Prayers are with all of you and may the Grace of God see you through this.

I am so sorry and my heart breaks for your family. Though like you I rejoice that Caleb is in a better place and I am so happy to have known him and called him Tyler's friend, it breaks my heart to hear he is gone. I am in disbelief. I love your family. Especially you Korri you have helped me through hard times without even knowing it. I wish the best for you, truly and fully. You and Caleb will always be in our thoughts.

I will never forget how Caleb wanted to run through the tall grass behind the barn. He was so happy. He was such an inspiration to all of us. At that time is when I was aware of what all he had been through. I thank you for sharing Caleb with us.

Oh, what confussion you all must feel. Heart-break and Celebration. You know, my mom (Sharon) and I were talking yesterday, and we both came to the same thought: My Paw-Paw (William Cullen Rasbeary) was waiting for him with a beautiful horse to ride away on. And he's been waiting, as he will for all of us. Right on the otherside of those gates. You will be re-united and for that, there is cause for celebration. Take a deep breath, it's not that far away in the true scope of things and what glory it will be to be with THE creator and the one you created. God Bless, and I will see all of you Wednesday.

We were saddened to hear the news of Caleb's passing. God has bigger plans for Caleb in heaven. He probably has already given him angel wings so he can keep a close eye on those he loved. My thoughts and prayers go out to Caleb's family and although we were never fortunate enough to get to meet Caleb, we heard much about him to know that he was a very special little boy.

Caleb is so precious to everyone and has brought so many people closer to our Lord Jesus and stronger in faith. For this, we are grateful. Caleb is now laughing and playing and suffering no more.

Jared and Korri, I can not tell you how much I admire you both. I pray Jesus will give you comfort and peace in your heart. May your faith get you through this difficult time as you move forward. You both have inspired so many with your amazing love and dedication for Caleb, your strength, and your faith.

We love you all so much!!

Oh, how my heart aches for you, Kori, Jared, and Donna! Words cannot express my sorrow...yet, my heart sings with the knowledge Baby Caleb is with our Lord Jesus and his grandpaw...laughing, running, playing, and, most of all, PAIN FREE!!!
This is not the way I wanted our prayers answered, but God answered them just the same. Baby Caleb is now with Jesus and will be with Him through eternity! Praise God that we, too, can be there one day if we continue to hold on to God's unchanging hands.
Jared and Korri, your love and dedication to your son has been an inspiration to many. Through all the many trials, joys, and trials again, both of you continued to do the very best you could for Caleb.
May God surround each of you with His love, may Jesus walk with you through this valley, and may the Holy Spirit comfort your hearts with the peace that only He can give.

Finding it hard to express my feelings of grief and sadness for you - just not enough words...I'm so sorry. My mom sent the following to me and I wanted to share with you. My sentiments exactly.

How very very sad to hear Sister. There are no words to describe how the family must feel right now, I know.
I will of course keep all of you in my prayers, this is so sad and so hard to understand, but there is a time and a season for everything, including life. We never know when it is time to go home and it is always sadder when it is a little one.
Only God knows why it is Caleb's time and we here on earth can rest assured that he will discover the GLORY OF THE FATHER and shall be loved and cared for in MIGHTY ways with the Lord. It is our consolation that he has gone to a place far better, and in the loving arms of The Father and Jesus Christ - being gently cared for FOREVER. We will see him again.

God bless you all at this time and I will pray that you all can comfort each other in the love that this precious child taught you all to have through praying for him through his little life. His purpose was surely in part you bring the family together to glorify the Father and bring faith to all watching the miracles he received while here. Only God knew if he would have suffered too much to stay and in His wisdom took this precious child home to find joy and peace and no more suffering.

We love you and will greatly miss Baby Caleb as we still sometimes call him because he is so sweet. He is in the sweet arms of Jesus and what better place to be.

With Love
Your Cousins, Jeff, Stephani, Nicholas & Jacqueline

****UPDATE******

I want to thank you all for your kind words and prayers that you have poured over Caleb as well as our family for the past 5 1/2 years. It is beyond difficult to be writing this, but for those who do not know, Caleb passed away at 8:50pm last night.

From what I understand, (and sorry if I am wrong) the prognosis was that the doctors could drill and let the blood drain from around Caleb's brain. This would give him about another 2 months. (Him still being in a vegitative state during that time.) Or, they could unplug everything and let Caleb go peacefully. As you can imagine, this was not by any means and easy decision for Jared and Korri. They decided to not make Caleb go through any more than he already has.

He spent his last few hours being loved on by his parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles. And had an extra special time with just his parents.

We thank you for your continued prayers, and as you can see, they are still very much needed.

URGENT UPDATE: Michelle just called me bawling. Docs felt an urgent need to do another CT scan on Caleb's brain due to the high blood pressure not responding to any meds. They were just told Caleb has bleeding on his brain. The neurosurgeon will be up shortly to discuss this with them. Korri is rushing to the hospital. Pray for mercy please !

UPDATE: One step forward-two steps backward, so it seems. Caleb is having a rough weekend. The ventilator was moved up to 8 with no immediate plans of removing it. Caleb is depending on it more and more and his lungs are just not improving. Caleb has had high blood pressure most of life and now it is running really high. Doctors are considering speeding up the dialysis, in hopes that removing fluid quicker will help the pressure. They are running tests on Caleb about every 6 hours, which is conforting. He is still sedated and will be as long as he remains on the ventilator. He is needing stronger medication for pain now. More sighs... Please pray especially hard for these parents. It is so very difficult to sit helplessly watching and waiting minute by minute for any sign of improvement as their son continues to fight for his life. They have not seen Caleb's precious smile or heard his contagious giggle in quite some time. They miss that so much. Needless to say, Korri is not getting any more rest away this weekend, then Jared does while he is at work. The fear, the worry, the stress, the heartache for their son is with them no matter where they are. God help them and give them all renewed strength and peace!

UPDATE: GOD HAS GIVEN CALEB ANOTHER MIRACLE ! A CT scan of Caleb's brain was taken earlier today and the results are in = NO SIGN OF BRAIN DAMAGE ! A drop to six on his sugar level causing a 5 minute seizure that resulted in no brain damage..ONLY GOD CAN GIVE A MIRACLE LIKE THAT!
A pulmonary doc did a scope on Caleb's lungs to find out why they are still full and not improving. The scope gave no new information so in a way...that is good news. He could have discovered something horrible...worse that just fluid...but he did not! The ventilator is down to 6 so the new plan (again) is to wean him off it some time this weekend. Pittsburg kept the "green light" on after hearing the results of the tests today ! Lord, my heart is just pounding! What an awesome, loving God we serve! Oh..another major blessing...Caleb did just fine again today when the dialysis was stopped for new tubes and restarted. He had no drop in his blood pressure. In fact, it is running a little high so maybe we prayed too hard for the pressure to stay up. Just kidding...God has it right where He wants it! Smiles ! Jared and Michelle will be arriving any minute to relieve Korri for the weekend. Pray she enjoys her break and that Caleb's weekend is peaceful and quiet with his Daddy and step mom.
We all thank you so very much for helping us to not give up hope when things are so scary. We appreciate you...we love you all!

Houston, TX - Thursday, April 26, 2007 3:45 PM CDT

UPDATE: Not much on Caleb's agenda today but resting and healing. There will be no attempt to remove the ventilator today, either. Though Caleb continues to breathe "over" the vent (great thing!), he is still only running at 89-92% oxygen level = not good enough. The CT brain scan is scheduled for 10AM Friday. He will be taken off dialysis just before they take him for this scan. It is possible that he may get a new central line while he is in Intervention Radiogy, too. After the scan, when he is brought back up to PICU, then IV dialysis tubes will be changed out and the dialysis process will resume. As you can see, Friday will be a big day for Caleb. Nothing is too big for Jesus, so please continue to ask for His will for Caleb.
Have a blessed day and thank you all for caring.

Fairfield, Tx US - Thursday, April 26, 2007 0:39 AM CDT

UPDATE: Well, Caleb is still on the ventilator. It was lowered to 7 but the doctors decided they want it down to 5 before they remove it. They know best. The fentinol continuous drip (pain-sedation med) was changed to "as needed". Caleb was off of it for about 6-7 hours and he opened his eyes a few times and lifted one arm but he did not respond to Korri. He was given another dose so his wounds could be dressed. I do not know how long that dose will take to wear off. Of course, we are inwardly anxious to see how Caleb will react when he is completely off of it. The GI team wants the CT scan on his brain by Friday. Sighs... Thursday should be the day the dialysis tubes should be replaced with new ones. This is when there is that very real danger of his blood pressure dropping critically low. Caleb did fine on Monday. God be willing, Thursday will be just as routine as the first time. Korri was not able to get a sleep room for tonight so it will be a rough one for her. Pray she can get some sleep. She did get a long night's sleep Tuesday so that should help a tiny bit. Jared and Michelle will relieve her for the weekend when they get off work Friday. I wish I had more news. Sometimes...most times it is just hard to be still and wait on the Lord. You would think we would all be experts at it by now. Good thing we have a patient and loving God !
Have a blessed evening !

Update: Good news first = the plan is to extabate Caleb Wednesday morning. NO more ventilator, God be willing! The ventilator is currently set at 8 and Caleb is breathing over it on his own so doctors think he will do fine. This will mean no more sedation. Of course, the pain meds may still keep him groggy. His IJ line in his neck was removed because it clogged but his IVs are going strong in his hands and feet so that is a major blessing. His neck did bleed quite a bit when the tube was removed and that certainly was not pleasant. Caleb also had some issues with blood pressure during the night after the blood pressure med was reduced (think it was Dopamine) but it is steady now. Just to be sure all was ok, he had an echo, ultrasound and exray at 4 am and that was all ok. His lungs are still pretty full but the continued dialysis should start to pull that fluid off. His TPN (nutrients) are back up to 60cc per hour and he is getting Lipids again (fats) so he is getting fed properly now. Still no urine on his own. Today was day 3 for a negative culture on the yeast. That is a huge AMEN ! Now his sugar level is running high. Crazy after it dropping to "SIX" last Thursday. Yes.. Caleb's condition is still critical but progress is in the making! The support, love and prayers of family, friends, and friends of friends is more than just heart warming... IT IS WONDERUL.. YOU are wonderful ! There needs to be a bigger and better word for THANK YOU ! Please, especially be praying in the morning when that ventilator is turned off. We still do not know the effects of that seizure last Thursday since Caleb has been sedated ever since. Pray his mind and personality will be just as it was before the seizure!
In God's love,

Hi honey. Since there is no news to report, my note is to YOU ! You are on my heart and mind all day long and I just think about you so much. You still amaze me. I am in awe of how strong you are and I am so proud of you ! When your Daddy and Michelle left you tonight, they came to the VA hospital to see your Great Grandad and helped me get his sleeping machine hooked up. I do not know what it is about the males in our life, but it seems you and your Grandad choose your hospital stays at the same time. Sometimes I think that I can just get in my car and close my eyes and say, "VA hospital or TX Children's hospital" and my car will just drive there on automatic pilot! I wanted to come see you. I was only 2 or 3 miles away, but I had to make sure Grandad was settled in and ok. Daddy said there was no change since I talked to your Mommy and you were still doing ok and your blood pressure was great!
That was news I needed to hear. I will check back in on you in the morning after I get to work. Sweet dreams honey!
Love you,

Hello Caleb! So glad to hear that everything is going well with the dialysis so far. We're praying very hard for you and we know that God's plan is working, we may not understand it, but it is working. Sometimes, we have to walk through a valley to reach and appreciate the mountaintop. I can't wait to hear that you're climbing that mountain - can I get you some hiking boots? We'll continue to pray that you will not feel pain or remember this sad time and we will be praying for wisdom for your 3 wonderful parents to make the right decisions for you. We love you Caleb.

UPDATE : Caleb made it past the dangerous point. He has been on dialysis for 15 minutes now. No change in blood pressure! Thank God..the "crash kit" staring them in the face was not necessary ! ! ! Though Caleb will have the dialysis running 24 hours a day, continuously, it will stop in 3 days to change out IVs (I think she said IV) and then it will be restarted again. At the time, the same danger factor will exist...that being a fatal drop in blood pressure BUT...BUT... WE HAVE THE SAME JESUS ON THE THRONE WATCHING OVER CALEB ! I am praising that same Jesus for saving Caleb again today !

UPDATE...see Korri's update on the front page and PLEASE PRAY NOW! . Docs were not able to rewire the central line for the dialysis catheter so they did have to put a new one for this in his leg. We were hoping another vein would not have to be used. Korri sounds strong and Jared and Michelle will be up there soon.
God bless!

Dear Sweet Caleb,
Please know I am praying for you daily as are alot of Jesus soldiers. You have been such an inspiration in my life the last 2 years. I know God has a special mission for you since you have touched so many people because of what you are going through. Little ones like you should not have to go through these things but only our Heavenly Father knows WHY. God bless you and Korri.
In HIS love we bring you good tidings and great joy,

Dear Sweet Family,

I am praying for you to have strength and wisdom regarding all the decisions you are making for your precious young man, Caleb. He is so adorable! My grandson, Jett, is 1 month younger than Caleb so I know what a difference Caleb has made in all of your lives.

Please look at God today for your source of everything you need today for yourself and on Caleb's behalf.

Joanna Chafin forwarded your website to me. I'm so glad she did.

Hey Little Man,

PawPaw and I got home this afternoon around 6:00 P.M.
We checked on you this morning through Michelle when she was talking to Grandmaw and were really sorry to hear that things weren't any better. We were so very glad to get to stay with you yesterday so that Mommy & Gran could go to get something to eat. I felt so helpless watching you go through so much and not being able to go through it for you. You were so cute though when you would get aggitated when the nurses were "messing" with you. Even though you were sedated, you let us all know when you wanted us to stop bothering you. That beeper would go off on your breathing machine and that would let us know that you had had enough! Sounds strange to say that we were glad to hear a monitor go off. It just meant that you were aware of your surroundings even though you were not feeling well and had all those gadjets attached to you. Sometimes that nasty little Rasbeary temper comes in handy. Nana and PawPaw are so sorry to hear that you have to have dialysis. I was hoping the other procedures could be used instead. You are such a strong little man and I know that you will continue to fight to get better. Afterall, it will be time for your 5th. birthday very soon and we want to celebrate it at home.

We think about you all the time. We appreciate that Grandmaw is keeping everyone updated on what is going on. Be a sweet little man and know that PawPaw and Nana are praying for you all the time.

We love you,

PawPaw & Nana

Lewis Center, OH - Sunday, April 22, 2007 10:10 PM CDT

UPDATE: I just got home from the hospital. I had the blessing of an uneventful and peaceful day sitting with Caleb. Korri's mom and sis treated her to dinner and a play which they all enjoyed very much. I wish I had great news to report but it is still a blessing that I do not have awful news. The RT (respiratory therapist) brought the ventilator down to 16 earlier this evening and Caleb did just fine with that. A few meds were discontinued or the dosage reduced. The plan for Monday is still dialysis. The nurse told me sometimes it works to "jump start" the kidneys... it is not necessarily permanent. God be willing, Caleb's kidneys will work on their own after this. Overall, his condition is still listed as critical according to one of the docs. The swelling is still awful...really awful but he does seem more comfortable since they started giving him meds for pain. His day nurse was very attentive to his needs and at shift change at 7, he got the same nurse he has had for the past 2 or 3 nights. She also was very attentive so I am thankful for the good care they gave him while I was there.
As always, bless you all for praying.

I wish you were in Pittsburgh getting your transplant so bad, I dare to say even more thatn I wish it for Tyler at this moment because he is happy and healthy and you are just going through too much. Korri, please stay strong. I know it must be hard. My heart goes out to you. We send you the best of wishes and would love to help out. If there's anything (I know we're so far away, it sucks) we can do let us know.

Wayland, NY - Sunday, April 22, 2007 2:09 PM CDT

UPDATE: still not much new to report. Caleb was put on a different ventilator and Korri says he appears to be more relaxed and peaceful with this one. (still sedated and will be as long as he is on the ventilator) His lungs are full and so much fluid on his body does not help the lungs, so now...the ventilator is necessary, not just pre-cautionary. Lasix is not helping as the kidneys are not functioning. His TPN is only going in at 14 cc per hour due to fluid restriction. I forgot what is normal...think 300-400cc per hour. (at least you can see it is WAY lower). He is not even getting Lipids. Now docs say dialysis on Monday. I was speaking with Korri when the GI team came in but I have not heard back if that team of docs offered any new insight. Caleb's issues right now are not "GI" so she did not expect much news there. I am heading to the hospital shortly and will update again when I get home if Korri is not able. This grandmaw never gets it all correct anyway...close but not exact like his parents do.
Blessings to you all this beautiful Lord's day.

- Sunday, April 22, 2007 10:30 AM CDT

Update: There is not much to share as there are few changes. Caleb is still on the ventilator, still being continually sedated and his kidney function has not improved. Korri and Jared did opt for the central line and it is now in his neck, since Friday evening. So far so good...no line infection and no fever so it appears the yeast infection in his body is under control....we hope. With the central line back in, he is getting blood pressure meds and that is bringing his pressures back up to a normal range. Not sure how the pneumonia is going as I do not know when the last exray of his lungs were taken. As of late this evening, Caleb had not been put on that machine to help draw fluids off of his swollen body. Hmmmm..don't understand that either. But then, there is so much we do not understand. Please just continue to pray as God leads you. Our Lord delights in your prayers and so do we !
May God richly bless you all as you bless Caleb's family with your kind words and encouragement.

Update: Caleb is still intubated. The plan to ween him off of the sedation and vent tube was cancelled. His lungs are much worse today than yesterday. Doc is wanting to put a new central line back in...even with the yeast in the blood stream and KNOWING a line infection will occur quickly...bringing with it raging temperatures. Why " = doc says Caleb's kidneys are shutting down, though he is not to dialysis stage yet. There is some machine that will remove, then replace all fluids in his body but a central line is a must for this. He wants a decision from Korri quickly. She is calling Jared now to discuss what choice they should make. Pray for wisdom for them. How does one know what to do? Caleb has been placed on status 1B for transplant which is suppose to mean that he is THE NEXT no matter what for his call. However...how can that be with a yeast infection in his blood stream and double pneumonia? Korri says he is even more swollen today than he was last night...terribly swollen. Our baby needs a small bowel, liver, pancreas, stomach and one kidney....sighs.
God, still our thoughts and minds and may we all feel your peace!

Thank you all for checking in on Caleb. When we left the hospital, he was stable. He received the last planned dose of sedative at 7:30pm. The prayer is that when it wears off, Caleb will fight and thrash a bit to try to pull the tube out. That will be a GREAT sign that all is ok and the seizure did not cause brain damage. When awake, he will be extabated (tube removed). He is actually breathing well with little help from that anyway. It was more precautionary than actual need. The cause of the seizure was a blood sugar level of SIX. It is hard to believe that while in PICU, a sugar level would be allowed to drop that low. Inexcusable, in my opinion. Caleb's blood pressure kept dropping pretty low while we were there. Not sure what that is all about. His precious face is so puffy and of course, his abdomen is really, really distended due to the organ failure. The seizure was extremely difficult for Korri, understandably so. She said it was one of the most scariest moments for her in Caleb's life. I can only imagine...
Korri may be updating the journal this weekend while Jared and Michelle stay at the hospital. I will continue to post here, if there is any changes, until Korri or Caleb's Aunt Kristin updates the journal. Again, thank you all for your love and concern...especially your prayers.
Blessings,

URGENT PRAYER PLEASE

Michelle just called me on the way home from work. Korri called Jared crying her heart out. It appears that Caleb is having seizures. One may have lasted 5 full minutes and during the seizure, he was unresponsive to even Korri. They are intubating him now, hoping this will help his breathing. We are all rushing to the hospital now. No computer access there, so I will update in the guestbook when I get home tonight. Thank you all for your prayers. We appreciate you more than you will ever know. It is such a blessing to serve a living God that is listening to the cry of our hearts!

Caleb,
I just spoke with your Mommy. I could hear you in the background asking for water and more water. Your fever is still raging at 104.9 and yes... it is the dreaded central line infection. Soon, the docs will be coming in to remove your central line and give you two new IVs. I know this is hard on you and difficult for Mommy and Daddy, too because you will now have to get poked and pricked all day long for the many medical tests. I am praying the good Lord will stop the mean yeast infection running through your blood system and heal the double pneumonia. Mommy said your G-tube hole is widening and is very irritated and the skin on your belly is just raw from all the tape. Honey, that thick duoderm tape will help stop that but you just can NOT pick at it. If I bought you some little cool gloves, would you keep them on? Your doctor told Mommy that he thinks you will get sicker in the next few days. Sighs... Well.. what I know is that Jesus loves you and is still on the throne!
�The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.� Zephaniah 3:17
May He quiet our souls now!
Loving you,

Hi honey,
I am so thankful the doc found a good vein for your new central line. Please, please do not pick this one out. It really is amazing that you actually never pulled it out before now, since you have had one most of your entire life. I am still worried about the fluid on your lung. Hopefully it will be ok so you can go home and spend the weekend with Daddy and Michelle. Your Mommy can certainly use the rest. Give her a big hug from Grandmaw.
Come see me this weekend precious one!

I am sorry that you were sick and in the hospital. It was nice to see you and your Mommy, but I am sorry that it had to be at the hospital. I am glad that you are feeling better and got to go home today. I hope you had a wonderful Easter!

How are ya doing tonight, precious one? Daddy said all tests are still negative so hopefully it is not a line infection. I am sorry your Mommy is feeling bad, too. God be willing, you both have the same 'ol bug and it is not going to be something BIG. You certainly will not be missing any "outdoor" egg hunts because the weather is so cold and rainy. The most important part and best part is remembering that Jesus died for us and rose again! That same Jesus is watching over you honey. He loves you so much and so do I!
Happy Easter Caleb & Korri,

Hi Caleb,

I am sorry that you had to go back to the hospital today with a 104 temp. Mommy tells me that you were such a good boy with the doctors and let them do what they had to do to make you better. Hang in there little one and know that we love you very much! I'll come see you and Mommy tonight and bring Mommy her dinner. Lots of love!

Hey precious ! I was just watching Fox 26 news and it told of a little baby girl that just received her new organs...all the same ones you need. Her twin sister already had the same transplants. Now, I pray it is YOUR TURN ! God help us to understand, stay strong and trust Him.... for His timing is PERFECT !
I love you so much.

Hey Korri and Caleb! Think and worry about you all the time. I can't imagine having to keep Caleb from eating. That has got to be so hard. With Tyler we used to just hide while we were eating and not eat in front of him. I'm glad we can let him eat now and wish Caleb could too. It's a shame such a cute boy has to endure these things. Any child really. I hope the call comes soon, like NOW. Though that would put a kink in his schooling plans. It's like you can't win either way sometimes.

Hello precious. I was so happy Daddy and Michelle brought you over this weekend. We did not have much time to play between you sleeping and all of us packing stuff up. I do not think we will ever get all of this done! I wish you felt better so you would have wanted to play. I continue to ask our wonderful Saviour to heal you with or without that call. His plan is perfect...I know it! Have a blessed week honey and give your Mommy lots of hugs!

Hello, I have been continuing to pray that Caleb will get his call soon. I for one understand all about the gagging and the constant need for drinking. Kenneth drinks all day and all night long, not just small amounts, it is liters. I am making tea and keeping the bottled water companies in business. The more he drinks though the more the output. HE eats very little because when he does eat he is constantly gagging or actually throwing up. Some days the phenergan doesn't even help. It is so sad to watch these children going through all this, it makes you feel so helpless. Hopefully Caleb will get a call soon, we are praying and thinking of you on a daily basis. Hope to see you in Pittsburgh before long getting those organs. Take care. Love Myra and Kenneth

Hey little man,

Just wanted to check in with you and say hello and tell you how much PawPaw and I love and miss you. We pray each day that the call will come soon so that you can get your surgery behind you and start to feel better soon.

How big are you that you are going to start Kindergarten soon. Hopefully the teachers will be able to come your house and teach you all the fun things about school. Then when you have your surgery and are fully recovered, you can go to the big school with all the other kids. How great will that be!!

Feel better, because I feel in my heart God is moving forward with His plans for you and that your call will come very soon.

We can hardly wait until you and Matthew, Emily, Michael, Mary-Kate, and William can join Austin and Addison for a great week-end at Nana's and PawPaw's. We can ride horses, fish, and take walks by the pond.

We love you very much. Give Mommy, Daddy and Michelle big hugs and kisses for us.

All our love,
PawPaw & Nana

Oh baby, it just breaks my heart to hear you had another bad day. I look at your picture in the swing and all I can think is THAT is how every day should be for you...fun and carefree. I am praying for days like that for you and am trusting the Lord for your CALL ! Grandmaw is working really hard to get this house on the market. Can you believe the painters just left 5 minutes ago? They will be back in the morning at 8:30. I should have the mess cleaned up by Sunday, before the carpet men come on Monday so tell Daddy and Michelle to bring you to Grandmaw's house. Give your Mommy a big hug.
Love you lots and lots,

Hey Little Man,

Those are some really sharp pictures. You look so big and independent. Not really sure I am ready for that!! You do look like you are feeling better. I sent an e-mail to your mom and dad and Michelle today asking about you. We haven't been able to catch up with each other lately. PawPaw and I sure do miss getting to see you. We would love it if we could have all of our grandchildren with us everyday. Maybe soon, we can have all of you for at least a week-end. We pray for you every day and ask that your call will come soon. But, as Grandma said, God has His own plan in His own time for you and we will just have to be patient. You continue to be our blessing and our inspiration to remind us that we are not in control and that God surely has a plan for you.

We love you very much and want to see you soon. God bless you our Little Man.

Love,

Hello sweet boy,
I have been thinking about you a lot tonight. Daddy & Michelle usually bring you to Grandmaw's on their weekend, but they did not this time. Your great Granny got a brand new hip last week and then I had to take your greatGrandad to the emergency room on Friday. SOoooo, they knew I was really tired and had so much to do to get my home ready to sell. I miss you honey. I am so thankful your points are higher. Your CALL will come in God's time because His timing is perfect! Stay strong precious.
Hugs to you and your Mommy,
Love,

Hey Little Man,

PawPaw and I were glad to hear that you had a pretty good week. We pray everyday that you will have really good days and feel like playing and getting out of the house. It seems to lift both you and your Mommy's spirits. Wow, it was good to hear that those doctors finally realized that you needed those extra points so that we can get this transplant behind us and move on to bigger and better things. Baby boy, we have so many people here in Teague praying for you. My little ladies ask about you every day and tell me that they pray for you every morning when they first get up and every night before they go to bed. Let me tell you, these are some really strong and fine ladies! Guess what, PawPaw had a birthday and now he is considered a Senior Citizen. He turned 55 years old and he can now have "free" coffee at McDonald's!!! Been telling him how great that was for a few years myself.

Sweet boy, I must go now, but you are always on our minds and in our prayers. I have your's and all the other grandkids pictures where I can see them everyday, all day, and I realize how blessed PawPaw and I are to have such wonderful grandchildren.

We will see you soon. Hugs and Kisses Little Man.

Love you,

Hi Little Man,

Well here it is a new year and we have so much to look forward to. We are looking forward to your call coming soon and you feeling better, to you enjoying your new home with your mommy and Gran, to being able to see you very soon and gets lots of hugs and kisses, and life for everyone in your family getting better. I hope you have had a very fun Christmas. We know just how blessed we all are that you were able to be at home and enjoy being with all you grandparents, parents, and cousins, aunts & uncles. I bet you got lots and lots of Christmas presents too!! Hopefully, Nana & PawPaw can come and see them really soon.

We have had so many prayers for you and mommy, daddy, and Michelle coming from our church family and our community. Everyone is praying for your call and your surgery, and praying that you will be well very soon.

Nana has to go now. I just wanted to check in on you and let you know how very much we miss you and want to see you.

Give everyone really big hugs for us.

Love you,

Hey Little Man,

So good to hear that you are home. It was wonderful news when we read Grandma's entry into your guestbook. I had called you mommy and left a message for her, but I'm sure she is still very busy trying to get everything moved. God does answer prayers doesn't He!! Your PawPaw's and my prayers were answered when we found out you had gotten out of the hospital and were able to spend Christmas with your daddy, Michelle, Grandma and everyone else.

Hope Santa brought you lots of fun things to play with, and hope he was really good to Mommy too.

We love you so much and miss seeing you. PawPaw's job makes it really hard for us to make the trip to Houston, but we will try to get a day really soon so that we can see you.

Be a really sweet boy and enjoy all your fun things that you got for Christmas.

God bless you and your mommy, daddy, and Michelle.

All our love and prayers,

PawPaw & Nana

WELCOME HOME CALEB !
What a wonderful Christmas to have you home! I wish you were feeling better so you would have fun opening all of your presents. Daddy and Michelle brought you to the house and what a blessing it was for your Great Granny and Great Grandad to get to see you again. It has been so long. I had to smile when they each kissed your little forehead. Both of them instantly said, "Oh! He has fever!". Those grandparents know better than a thermometer, don't they! I pray you have a good night and a very Merry Christmas. The celebration of the birth of our Saviour is such a blessed holiday. Just think Caleb... that baby born in a manger is the very God who has watched over you throughout your life. He loves you so much and so do I.
Merry Christmas precious,
Grandmaw

Hey Little Man,

I am so sorry to see that you are still sick. I was so hoping that you might get to come to Nana & PawPaw's this week end to celebrate Christmas. We are praying that you will feel better in time to be in your on home and your own bed when Santa Claus comes to visit you. But if not, he knows that you have been such a sweet little man and that you deserve a great Christmas. God will be watching over you and He knows what is in all our hearts. You have so many people asking about you everyday and you are on all their prayer lists and in their hearts. I know that you will get your call soon and that God's healing hands will direct the surgeons and all the other medical staff that will be involved in making you feel better.

We wish you and your Mommy a very Merry Christmas and we will be seeing you very soon.

God bless you and your very brave Mommy.

Good thing your Mommy over-ruled the docs and insisted you stay in the hospital over the weekend when you started feeling yucky. Daddy says you are running really high fever. "Hope" is not gone though! Jesus is still watching over you and loves you more than ever !

I am so thankful I was able to babysit you last night so Mommy could get a little break. I thought it would be really hard to be back in a hospital doing some of the same things I did for Grandpaw while he was so sick. You were such a happy and good boy you made it easy and fun. God just blessed us both and gave us such a special time. He could have blessed a little less and had you go to sleep before 1:45am! Heehee....but.. at least you were up playing and not crying out in pain. I will see again this week, God be willing. I love you precious!,

Hey Korri! I've been thinking about Caleb all day. We found the silver and red pinwheel you two got Tyler in Pitt. and he's been playing with it. He still loves it! It's good to read an update. No matter what you write, it is a relief just to know what's going on and to feel like we are in this process with you. I know what you mean about feeling selfish and wishing you could do normal things. I agree and complain about that all of the time. Then I think, I have Tyler home. That's more than some people and I should always be thankful. Life can be so hard and I admire your honesty. I appreciate you as a friend and mentor. Hoping and praying that things get better... and that somewhere a donor will become available soon because a family is kind enough and informed enough to choose organ donation.

Hey Little Man,
Just wanted to let you know how much fun PawPaw and I had visiting with you last Friday. You were so alert and we had so much fun playing with you and visiting with Mommy. You are such a smart little guy. You never cease to amaze us with your ability to learn so quickly and seem to ignore how bad you feel sometimes. We laughed about your mommy saying "what" after you say something to her. It seems that you and mommy have created a whole new vocabulary with all words now ending in "what". It was so cute, but mom said that she guessed she would have to stop that. Didn't seem to think that the teachers would understand when you start to school. We miss getting to see you more and pray that you will be out of that hospital soon and able to come to our house for the holidays. More than that, we pray that you will get your call soon, that the surgery will be a great success and you will feel better and get to do all the things that little boys should do. We love you and miss you. You are in the prayers of all our church and our friends.

See you soon.

Love you,

We take authority over the spirit of sickness that come against this young boy in the name of Jesus and Lord rebukes this sickness. I thank you that this young boy shows so many people how to love as your son did at the cross . I thank you lord that we are healed at the cross I thank you that you will return and make us all whole again. Lord comfort his mother and father right where they are and Lord when we fall short in faith that you come to strength us to show us the way Lord I thank you that you loved us first. Son I pray that you know that Jesus loves you and has already made you whole becuase you teach us so much more that we could ever know or say. I pray for the healing and your family in the name of Jesus. May the Lord God Almighty reveal him self to you and your family that you will be filled with Gods peace.

Hi Little Man. I was glad to see the update on you. Sorry for the bad news, but there was good news in there too. When I talked to your mommy to wish her a be-lated happy birthday, you were not having a good day. She said that you had been in pain and both of you were very tired. I wish I could take the pain away for you and let you have a happy peaceful day. I know that God has his plans for you and that He will heal you in his own time. Everyone here asks about you all the time and you are always on everyone's prayer list. I have some really sweet elderly ladies living in the apartments where I work and they ask about you everyday. They have prayer time for you and ask for you to have a peaceful day. They are such sweethearts and care so much about you and your mommy and daddy and Michelle. PawPaw and I hope to see you by this week-end so that we can get some hugs and kisses. Haven't had my sugar fix in a while. We miss you and love you so much, wish we were closer so that we could see you more. Have a good night little man. We love you all so much.

Wonderful journal update! It is no wonder that your Mommy could not call me back with all that is going on with you, Caleb. Tell your Mommy not to feel bad about the scope. We all would have followed doctors suggestions and also wished we had not when things did not go as planned. It happened and now we pray it gets better quickly. I smiled when I read that your Gran brought you lots of "Love Energy"...all those kisses and hugs. Just like you need your Mommy, your Mommy needed her Mommy, too so I know Gran gave her comfort just by walking in the door. It looks like Grandpaw may get out of the hospital today. I hope his chest does not fill up too quickly so we do not have to go back too soon. It would be such a blessing for you to be well and going home too. I miss you so much.

Staying with Caleb every second and not taking a break, that's not just motherhood but heroism. You go above and beyond. You're family is an inspiration through all of this and we are here for you. Please call if you need anything, I know I live far away, but I can talk or whatever. Stay strong like I know you will!

Caleb,
I called your Mommy last night to check on you but got her voicemail. Ask her to write a quick update in your journal so everyone checking in on you will know how to pray for you. Your great aunt Dottie is on the way to sit with Grandpaw in his hospital room so I can go to work. I will try to call again this evening to check on you.
Hugs and kissses and many prayers,
Love Grandmaw

Happy Halloween my special little pumpkin!
Sorry to hear you missed the party but I bet Aunt BatGirl cheered you up. I remember your very first Halloween when you were in the Premie nursery there. You had your pumpkin costume and superman, too! Memories are so precious. God be willing, next year you will be running from house to house trick or treating with all your new organs inside of you!
With that thought, I will sleep well tonight. You do the same.
Hugs and kisses!

Hey Korri and Caleb. My heart sinks, literally right into my stomach when I read some of these updates lately. I wish there was something I could say to make you two feel better, but since there are no magic words just know that we think of you always and I check up on Caleb's site everyday. I tell everyone about him. I really hope that call comes soon and until then that you guys can get some much needed time out of the hospital! I hope to see Caleb in Pittsburgh soon when the boys both get their miracle calls.

Hello sweetie! I could not believe it when I drove up to the Hilton for an all day meeting I had to attend and lo and behold....it was right across the street from Texas Children's hospital! I skipped lunch with my co-workers and got to come see you. You were sleepy but I still got some sweet sugars from you. I have not seen your Mommy for awhile so that was nice, too. I wanted to shout "Halleluja!" when your doc said you were NUMBER ONE on the transplant call list for kids with O+ blood and that when you get the call, she will say "YES" you are ready. What a blessing! For the first time since you had to miss your July 13 CALL, I feel your new Call will be soon. I pray it is so! Tell Mommy to get her winter clothes ready for Pittsburgh!
Your Grandpaw had a nice day with our dear friend, Wayne. He got to Grandpaw's hospital room at 7 this morning when I had to leave for my meeting and he stayed all day until I got back at 5:30pm. Brandi & Michael brought us a delicious home cooked dinner and she served it on REAL plates! When they left here, they were going to your Aunt Carla and Uncle Matt's apartment for bible study and prayer time. I asked them to pray for your CALL to come soon!
You have a blessed night and don't let the bedbugs bite!
I love you,
Grandmaw

Happy Halloween Sweet Boy,
I came to see you Sunday night, but you were sound asleep. Your mom tryed to keep you awake for me but you didn't have a nap today and you were so tired. You look so sweet laying in your bed. Sounds like you had a good time with your dad and Michelle. Your mom had a nice couple of days away from the hospital. She relaxed and celebrated her birthday at a nice hotel downtown. Since your mom can't take you trick-or-treating on Halloween, hopefully you will feel ok to go to the hospital Halloween celebration. I have to work on Halloween night so I won't be able to be with you. I believe your Aunt Kristin is coming to celebrate with you and your mom.
Sleep tight sweet boy and have sweet dreams.
Love, Gran

Hi Caleb!
How are you this beautiful Lord's day? Grandpaw and I are looking out his hospital window and it looks like a gorgeous day out there. It would be a great day for you to be able to play outside. How we wish you could! Are you feeling better and having fun with Daddy and Michelle this weekend? We hope your Mommy is getting lots of rest and enjoying her weekend. She deserves it! Maybe she will have time to update your journal so your wonderful friends will know how you are this week. This evening, Aunt Debbie and Aunt Carla are coming here to stay with your Grandpaw and Michelle is opening her hair salon just for Aunt Janet and I. She is going to fix us up with a new "do". It is nice to have "connections". heehee
Well honey, we just wanted to let you know we are having sweet thoughts and prayers for you this morning.
God bless you and keep you, precious!
We love you so much,

Caleb,
Hello precious. I am sitting here in your Grandpaw's hospital room having sweet thoughts of you. I pray you are getting stronger each day and can go home soon. Your great-grandad was released from Veteran's hospital yesterday and is home with Granny now! Now it is YOUR turn. Then maybe Daddy and Michelle can bring you to Conroe to visit Grandpaw in the hospital. He is really sick but you can not catch what he has. Will you draw a picture for Grandpaw? Your cousins did and they are taped to the wall and we look at them all day long and smile. The doctors and nurses think they are really cool.
Oh, give Aunt Kristin a hug for updating your journal. Many people are checking in on you, even though they all do not sign your book. They are all praying for you and that is so wonderful. Have a blessed day and may the God of creation keep you safe in His loving arms.
XOXOXO

Hello precious!
Your Aunt Janet Marie called me at work to tell me she got to see you today after MaryKate had her tests there at Texas Children's. She said your pneumonia is a bit better but you were very cold and shaking. I could hear the smile in her voice when she told me you told her, "I love you". I am so happy to hear you felt well enough to even talk. I tried to call tonight to check on you and your Mommy but had to leave a voice mail. I hope you were able to move out of ICU and back to PCU tonight as planned. Maybe you and Mommy will rest better together all night. It is impossible for her to rest in ICU.
I stay at the hospital with your Grandpaw and I am hoping he has a good night too. He said to tell you he is praying for you and loves you. I have a laptop now so I can keep checking in on you. Tell Aunt Kristin to keep us updated in your journal when she can. We all appreciate her for doing it!
God bless you little one!

Caleb,
Aunt Debbie and Uncle Gerry stayed with your Grandpaw on Sunday, after Aunt Carla left so your Aunt Carrie, Cullen and I came to see you Sunday. Bless your heart, you were so very ill you did not even know we came. My heart is breaking. You just layed in your Daddy's arms and never opened your eyes. They said you had a 104.5 temp under your arm earlier. I got the call that you are back in ICU. I am so thankful your Aunt Kristen already noted it so people will be praying! I talked to Michelle and she said your Daddy was took off work and is coming to you. I know your Mommy and Daddy are so scared for you.... we all are. I am praying for God's perfect will for you little one. He knows our heart's desire.
I will be leaving work shortly to go back to be with Grandpaw at his hospital in Tomball. Tell your Daddy to call me and keep me posted on your progress.
Love you,
Grandmaw

Hello precious!
Oh how I miss you. I am so thankful that your Daddy and Michelle were able to bring you to see Grandpaw at Conroe hospital before you got sick and had to go to ICU. It is wonderful to know you are now out of ICU and in a regular room. Your Mommy told me the docs still are not certain what that nodule is in your lung. I pray it is GONE, by the power of Jesus, before the next tests are run.
Your Aunt Carla is sitting with Grandpaw in Triumph Acute care hospital so I could go to church today. I want so badly to come to see you at Tx Children's and your great Granddad at the VA hospital today but I really need to be with your Grandpaw. He has trouble breathing with this lung cancer and it scares us. It is most difficult being separated from all of you with my own children running from hospital to hospital caring for our family members. Even Uncle Stephen's Daddy is in town at MD Anderson hospital fighting his leukemia. Everyone is being so wonderful to pray for all our family. I must hurry out the door now to church. We have not had internet access at Grandpaw's hospital so that is why I have not signed your book. Aunt Janet reads me your updates!
Love you and miss you,
Grandmaw

I left your Mommy a message last night to see what the doctos are saying this week. You are just so ill and it is heartbreaking to know and see how you are bleeding. I hope you got a transfusion so you will feel better. We pray your new CALL will come soon, even this week..today would be wonderful!

Sorry you didn't feel really great, but it was wonderful to get to hold and snuggle with you all afternoon. Sorry you didn't feel like coming to your cousins soccer games, but they all played really good and it was really fun to watch them. Maybe next time you can come and watch them too. I hope you are feeling better today. Tell Mommy hi for us and we will see you again very soon. We love you very much.

I miss you. I want to come over but Grandmaw said, "No"! I am mad because I can not come. I told her I would be happy if I got to see Caleb. I was sick and coughing a lot but I am better now. She says I still sound stuffy but I am not. I just cough a little. Our cousins are getting it too. Mommy got it Saturday night and was sick all day Sunday. Grandmaw says we can not take a chance on you catching it. She and Grandpaw can not even see you until everyone is well just in case they are carrying the bug. They do not have bugs. That is crazy. That is not funny. I keep begging her please...puhleaseeeeeee, I want to go to Aunt Korri's and play with Caleb...but NO. Do you know what a broken record is?

Hi Caleb,
I want you to know how special it was for you to spend the day with Grandmaw and Grandpaw. Having been in the hospital so long, it seemed you may never be able to come to our home and spend the day again. Bless your heart, you missed your Mommy and cried for awhile. Thank God, you calmed down so your Mommy was able to enjoy her day at the lake with friends. Then what a nice surprise when your Daddy, Michelle and Tootie dropped by! It almost seemed like old times! Well sugar, the best days are yet to come! We must keep praying for that CALL to come soon!
Love you,
Grandmaw

HI little guy I am so sorry to hear you need a new transplant but i wanted to write you to let you know your not alone. While we are not in pittsburg we are in miami my son is 9 years old as well he will be 10 next week aug 8th 2006 he also had a transplant but in Miami he too like you had a rare form of rejection on the out side of his bowel like you he too throws up numerous times a day now that he has his gtube to suction and his jtube to gravity and his tpn and lipids back his bowel can now rest. We too are awaiting retransplant as well. He needs a 6 organ transplant soon.IN a way he is different because the doctors here could not remove the damaged bowel so its still inside where it makes terran oh so sick but he is getting better and hoping to one day get his new insides so he can feel better

I just wanted you to know your not alone.

Welcome Home Caleb ! ! !

I am thrilled you and Mommy made it safely home. That must have been a little scary to board the plane and then get back off due to plane troubles. Mommy shared how she had to run pushing you in the stroller to make the connecting flight in Dallas. Michelle called while you were flying from Pittsburgh to Dallas to say she and Daddy may be driving to Dallas to pick you two up if the delay caused you to miss that connecting flight. Whew! Good thing it all worked out ok. I will be over to see you in just a few minutes. I can not wait to get my hugs and kisses. Oh...and Mommy told me you can spell your name now and say it. You are so very smart.
XOXO

Good luck with everything and I look forward to hearing some good news. It's got to get better from here. Praying and hoping all the best for Caleb with his sweet little self.

Hi honey...it is Grandmaw again. I met the delivery man tonight at your house, since your very special Gran had to work. He brought all of your medicines and medical supplies. What a load that was! I guess I will always find that overwhelming but at least it is exciting because it means you are coming HOME ! Mommy was excited to hear that they sent "pre-made IV line flushes". Woohoo ! She will not have to spend the time to make them from bulk supplies! I am praying you have a perfect night and your fever is GONE by the time you wake up. Then we know you will be able to make your journey home.
God bless you and keep you this night and always,
Kisses and hugs,

Oh Caleb,
What an awful day you and Mommy have had. I know how badly you both hoped to be home by 7pm tonight and how anxious the rest of us are for you to be home but it just was not meant to be. Your fever and the G-tube falling out... sighs... Mommy said she shoved it back in quickly, traumatizing as it was. It is wonderful to know that you feel so much better right now, after getting your transfusion and nap. God be willing, He is working out the details so you and Mommy can fly home on Saturday. She told me she is in the process of updating your journal now. Prayers for safe travel are being spoken now!
Hurry home precious! We miss you !
Love,

I really do not understand all that I read, but I continue to read and pray for all of you. I'm glad to see the updated picture and information on the website. I am sorry that Caleb was not able to get this last transplant, but I will continue to pray. Your Fort Worth cousins continue to ask and to pray. You three are incredibly strong, and I do not know how you manage this. I am glad that you had some time at home, but I am also glad that you have access to this wonderful hospital.

With love and prayers, prayers, prayers,

Hi big boy!
I guess you are still in recovery. I could not reach your Mommy but Daddy said your surgery to get your G-tube went just fine and you are still asleep. He said it was in a good spot, if there is such a spot left on your tummy. I will call Mommy when we get home from church to check in on you. I pray you are not in pain!
Love you precious,

Hey Korri, It was good to talk to you the other day. I missed you... not being in Pittsburgh, but just hanging out. Hope things shape up for you two. Sorry to hear Caleb has CDIF. I don't know much about it other than it's really common on the 7th floor at Children's. Still praying and thinking about you guys. Can't wait to read, "We got THE CALL and the surgery" on your update. Good Luck!

Caleb...another virus? Good grief! Your Mommy says it is bad like the ROTO virus but I forgot the name of it. Thank the dear Lord, the doctors say if you get your "Call", this virus will not stop you from getting your new organs. I hear it has been a busy week for transplants in Pittsburgh. It has been so busy, you will not get your G-tube until Thursday. I can not think of a better reason for a delay than two children getting a new life. Thank you Jesus for those donor families! God be willing, you will still get to come home this weekend.
I can not wait to give you hugs and kisses!

Hello Sweet, sweet boy.
Grandpaw and my Sunday school class said many prayers for you this morning. Cullen woke up wanting to go to "Pittsburgh" to see you. I reminded him that you are very far away. He said, "Well let's go now!". When I told him he would have to fly there he changed his mind. He is a train and car boy and wanted no part of flying. I told him how many times you have flown in a jet. Cullen was impressed but not jealous. I think he was thinking, "Better you than me!". I am happy you are such a brave boy. Aunt Carla's wedding shower is this afternoon. It will be nice to spend time with old friends. You and Mommy have a blessed day. I wish you were home already!
Love and kisses,
Grandmaw

Hi there Big Boy!
I tried calling you on the way home from work and no one answered. It scared me! I thought you may be in surgery or something. Mommy called me back awhile ago and said you were getting a CT scan. That hospital works 24-7. Amazing! Lord be willing, this test will show the doctors something but sometmes"nothing" is even better. You are getting your G-tube (feeding tube) on Thursday and then you get rid of the NG tube (nose). I hate it that you must have either one of them. Four holes in your tummy is just so sad. Still, you are such a brave and happy boy in spite of the holes and tubes and meds and pumps. You are my hero. Your Aunt Kristin always says that and she is right! Since you get the G-tube on Thurs, that means you will probably not get to come home until next week. We are all counting the days! By the way, I must have been tired the other day when I wrote how nice it was for you to visit with Destiny and her Mommy, "Cindy". DUH.. I know Christy is Destiny's mommy and Cindy is Makenzie's mommy. Like your Daddy always says, "Grandmaw gets stuff goofed up". I will tell you a little secret. Sometimes it is fun to drive your own kids nuts. heehee. When you grow up and have your own kids, you will understand just what I mean. Ok darling... have a sweet and peaceful night. Give your Mommy lots of love energy. (That would be kisses and hugs!)
I love you,
Grandmaw

Dear God,
This is my very own guestbook so I guess it is ok if I write in it. I want to share a note you wrote to all of us in your own book. I really like the part that says you made me wonderfully complex since I am sort of complex.
Ps. 139 (NLT)

O LORD, you have examined my heart and know everything about me.
You know when I sit down or stand up, You know my every thought when far away. You chart the path ahead of me and tell me where to stop and rest. Every moment you know where I am. You know what I am going to say even before I say it, LORD. You both precede and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head.

I can never escape from your spirit!
I can never get away from your presence!

You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous--and how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.

How precious are your thoughts about me, O God! They are innumberable! I can't even count them: they outnumber the grains of sand! When I wake up in the morning you are still with me!

LORD Jesus bless! We trust You and you alone. Amen

Love,
Caleb

Caleb,
I asked Grandmaw to take me to your house so we could play with our race cars. She said no because you are in Pittsburgh. I do not know where that is but she said it is far away. I asked if it was "far-far away" and she said yes. I told her ok, I want to go far-far away to see you. She still said no so you have to come home so we can play. Oh, yeah and you have to hurry because of Aunt Carla's wedding. I told Aunt Carla I do not want a black tie. I want a black bow tie with my suit. She is the boss of the wedding, not my Mommy. I can not wait for it. I keep saying I want to go to the wedding but they say it is 2 months away. I do not know how long that is. I want to play with you now and go to the wedding now. Our cousins, Matthew, Emily, Michael, MaryKate and William came over last night. We had fun. We wish you were with us.
I am going to Sunday school now.
Bye,
your cousin, Cullen

I heard from your Aunt Kristin last night that you were visiting neighbors on your hospital floor. I was glad to hear that your mom and dad got to see Destiny and Cindy. It is always nice to see familiar and friendly faces. I am looking forward to your speedy return to Houston, Texas.

Good morning Caleb! It sounds like you just wanted a little vacation from this hot Texas weather!!! I hope you're having a great day and that you get to enjoy the cooler weather on a trip to the park or at least a walk outside. I was checking your website this morning when MaryKate walked by and said "There's Caleb, find more Calebs!" She likes to look at all of the cute pics of you being a little boy. Once you're back home, and well enough to have visitors, we can come by and let you play superheroes with Matthew and Michael, or maybe you could just color with Emily. She likes purple also! I'm sure William would like to do something with you too, but right now his favorite pasttime is drooling. We're praying for you and we love you very much!

God bless you sweet boy,

Dear Lord:

Please wrap your loving arms around this family and embrace them with your healing grace and strength. Please heal your child Caleb, permanently and completely as he has done his job on this earth so well. He and Donna have been the angel guides that brought me back to you, please don't let Caleb suffer anymore, just let him be a little boy who goes fishing with his cousin and gets muddy and tracks it on his mom's floor. Let him copy his dad's ways and be "big", all the things that 4 year olds should get to do. I will continue to come back to you and trust in you an follow you, but please give this child one more miracle - a complete healing. Give strength to the familes that are so gracious to donate the organs of a child they have lost to save another child, what grace they show when they are able to offer life during a time of great loss. We really are all connected through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit!

Caleb: Sleep well little man, and Korrie, I hope you have a counselor there that you can talk with, or a pastor, or someone where it is safe to have all your feelings, the scared ones, the ugly ones, the grateful ones, all your feelings, because it is only when we express and process our feelings that we are able to continue the hard work of dealing with the day to day harshness of illness and it is only when we process the feelings that we gain the ability to think with clarity and to make the proper decisons and have the ability to confront the medical teams when necessary. I know you are strong, but I feel such anguish for what you are enduring watching your son in pain. I ask the Lord to carry you whenever you need it and to carry Caleb in his arms until he is well. Jared, you also need to process all your feelings and I hope you have an outlet for that, men need the ability to be scared, cry, get angry, rage too, so that you can get to that clear thinking place. I am grateful for the many months that Caleb was doing so well and I know he will come home and have all those great times with his cousins again! Lean on your family and friends and even those of us you don't know, because we are here for you and pray that you days become easier and gentler and that the organs needed will be available at the perfect time and place, and that you have fun with Caleb and get to give him lots of hugs and kisses! God Bless You All !

Hi Caleb,
I just spoke with your Daddy and he was telling me you had a great day today. You had to have that chalky junk and you kept it down and did not throw it up so he thinks the doctors got good pictures when they did the upper GI test. He and Mommy are expecting the doctor to come in the room any time now to share what they discovered. They already know the cultures were all negative. No fever, no coughing, no runny nose today is music to our ears. I think that is just more proof that our good Lord was watching over you and kept you from receiving organs that were not perfect for you. He never forsakes us!
As I was speaking with your Daddy, I could hear you and your Mommy saying goodbye to Destiny and Cindy. I am happy you all had a time to visit. I am even happier that they were being discharged out of the hospital for their out patient stay. Hopefully they will be able to come home to Texas soon.
We are ready for you to come home, too. However, it would be a wonderful miracle to get your next "Call" while you are there and feeling better. Until the results of your tests are known, we will wait patiently to know when you can come back home!
Hugs and kisses,
Love, Grandmaw

Telephone call received from Michelle and Donna (Grandmaw) on the way home from Hobby Airport. Per them, Caleb, Korri & Jared all boarded the plane bound for Pittsburgh at 11:00 A.M. Caleb wouldn't let go of Daddy, so Jared boarded the plane with nothing but the clothes on his back. Per the information received from Pittsburgh, Caleb has met the criteria of correct age, blood type, weight, and size for the transplant. He is second in line to receive his transplant, as there is another transplant recepient that will be having surgery also. There are other tests that will have to be conducted after they arrive in Pittsburgh to make sure that the surgery is a "GO". We have two blessings at once. Our family and the other little one receiving the organs. But remember, we also have two tradgies, the families losing their loved ones. Our blessings are someone elses loss. Please pray for all of the families and ask that God's will be done. Also pray that we can accept whatever His will is for Caleb and the other recipient.

Thank you for all your prayers and love. We will update as often as we can.

Hey Little Man,

It sure is wonderful to hear that you are at home. I know you are probably ripping and roaring now that you have gotten used to being at home again. I know you will do better just being in your own home and own bed (or at least sleeping with Mommy in a bigger bed). Have fun sweet boy and play hard. Enjoy every minute of every day. Korri, we hope you are feeling better and more relieved. I know that responsibilities are great, but I also know that you can do it. Just be sure and ask for help when you need it. That's what we are all here for. God has surely blessed this family again. We just need to remember to say Thank You to HIM often.

PawPaw and I will come to see you as soon as we can. As soon as PawPaw can get an afternoon off, we will be there.

Prayers are flooding the gates on your behalf, and God is hearing them (we knew He would).

Have fun little one.

We love you bunches,

HOME SWEET HOME !
Welcome home Caleb! It was such a blessing to drive only 2 blocks to see you in your own home! I know it was hectic for you with so much company your first night home but you and Mommy will have peace and quiet all day Tuesday. I am praying your new pumps work perfectly and you have a quiet and blessed night. The delivery of all your meds and supplies was overwhelming for me but not for your parents. This brought back so many memories of when all of this had to be done for you on a daily basis before and after transplant. It was a sort of sweet sadness to watch and listen to them as they realized how much they did remember about this kind of care. The year without tubes and pumps was such a blessing and I know you will see that day again soon little one.
To all who are reading, please say extra prayers for wisdom and guidance and peace for Korri with this added nursing care that is required of her for Caleb. Gran, we pray for special peace for you as well.
God bless you all,
Love,
Grandmaw

Woohoo Caleb!
Coming home on Monday? I can not hardly believe it. We are so happy ! Your Mommy sounded happy and confident so that is really great. I am praying the Home Care service that Tootie works for will be assigned to you. Then she can be your home nurse. How awesome is that? I am thanking God for the wonderful gift of transportation by jet to Pittsburgh when you get the CALL. The director of the Kangaroo transport team promised your Mommy that no matter what, he will see to it that you get to Pittsburgh and she will not have the worry of finding a commercial flight any time day or night. Baby, that is a major answer to prayer. I feel in my heart, you will get your CALL soon. Once again, the good Lord is preparing the way just as He did for the first transplant. It is more obvious day by day. What an awesome God we serve. Have a happy weekend sweetheart.
I love you,
Grandmaw

Thanks for letting me share the holiday with you! I had fun hanging out with you, mommy and gran. I am so glad that you and all the other kids at the hospital were able to watch the fireworks safely from the hospital windows! Happy 4th little firecracker! See you soon!

Happy 4th of July to the sweetest boy in the world. Hopefully, you will get to see the fireworks tonight. I heard a rumor hospital patients could go to the top floor and watch the fireworks.
I know you don't feel well but hopefully you will enjoy watching them tonight. See you soon!!!

Caleb...guess what? !!! We just found out today that Granny (your great granny) does NOT have cancer! I wanted you to know and be happy with us!
I am hearing lots of fireworks out my bedroom window as I type this. Can you see many out of yours? Being on the 12th floor, you can see a lot except for where other tall hospital buildings block your view. The big firework shows will be tomorrow night. Maybe you can see the Herman Park firework show from the library on the 16th floor. I bet Mommy and Chris will take you up there to see them if you are feeling good. That will be so much fun! No mosquito bites up there!
Have a blessed night precious,
Love you,

Hi cousin Caleb,
I am glad Grandmaw and Grandpaw took me to the hospital to see you. We had so much fun racing down the halls on hot wheels. You can go really fast! That big 'ol train display you took me to see at the hospital is awesome. Do you get to see it every day? I am glad I brought my 2 new Thomas train cars, Toad and Oliver. You liked playing with them. I wish you did not get so tired after playing a little while. I just played with your cars while you slept.
Uncle Jared says you might get to come home this week because you keep getting sicker there with all the germs. I did not want to go to pre-school last week and told my Mommy I had germs, hundreds of germs. She made me go anyway. Grandmaw says your Mommy will do good with all your pumps and tubes at home so it will be okay. It will not be scary. I can come and play more when you get home since your house is just one block from mine. Yeah, that is a good idea. Come home. It will be fun.
Your cousin,
Cullen

Hi Honey,
I talked to your Daddy while he was with you tonight. I could hear you fussing when your blood pressure was checked. It amazes me how you hate that cuff yet deal with the really bad stuff so well. Daddy says the docs in Pittsburgh said they are not going to deal with the blockage since you are waiting on your "call" for new organs. That must mean you do not have to leave us for surgery in Pittsburgh for awhile longer. Hmmm = mixed blessings. You stay but at what cost? What pain? That blockage must hurt or at the least cause you discomfort. You have such a high tolerance to pain, it is difficult to tell. The throwing up surely is unpleasant for you. Well, we will just continue to pray and trust Jesus for the answers.
Sweet dreams precious.
Kisses and hugs,
Grandmaw

oragne park, fl us - Wednesday, June 28, 2006 6:26 AM CDT

Caleb,
I am sorry you were not able to keep that yucky chalk stuff down long enough to have your CT scan today. I doubt I could either. The doc is going to try to give you less of it tomorrow and try a contrasting exray to see if she can see what is wrong. I hope that will not upset your tummy too much. The mean ecoli infection is back. The cultures they took on Sunday tested positive two days in a row. That is why you had that scary spell Saturday night. It looks like your pic line will have to come out again which means you will have IVs and have to get "stuck" for your blood tests. I think we all hate that even more than you do. Back to the exrays tomorrow... if a blockage is found, you will have to be flown back to Pittsburgh for more surgery. Just the thought of that happening is more than we can bare. Even though you have been in the hospital for about 4 months now, at least you have been in your home hospital in Texas the past 2 months. That in itself has been a blessing! What a wonderful miracle it would be for God to provide your donor for your new organs before you have to suffer another "temporary fix" surgery. His plan for you is perfect, Caleb and I continue to trust Him with your life. What a precious gift of life you are.
I love you,
Grandmaw

Hey honey,
I just want you to know how special Grandpaw and my time was with you this weekend. You did give us a scare when you got the shakes, threw up and spiked the temp but thankfully, that did not last long. Silly Grandpaw was a party pooper and did not stay up with us til 3:40 am. We should have put toothpaste on his face while he slept. That is what is usually done to the first one to fall asleep at slumber parties! It was sweet of Michelle to come bring us lunch on Sunday and change your bag. I had it patched up but the hole in the dam was breaking. I am still thinking about how you hate to have your blood pressure checked and told that nurse, "Wait...OK ? ? ?". Grandpaw laughed out loud over how you said it.
It was nice to see your Mommy come back to the hospital so happy and rested. Eric and Amanda were coming to visit so you had a big night planned.
Well, I am off to work now. I will have sweet thoughts of you all day long.
Love and Kisses,
Grandmaw

Hey sweet boy,
I just talked to Mommy and got the ugly news that your bowels may be blocked and your liver is still showing chronic rejection. Since you threw up the barium, the contrast on the scan was not the greatest so she said you will get scanned again on Tuesday. It looks like you may get another jet ride to Pittsburgh next week if things do not improve. I hope you and Gran have a good night together while Mommy gets a break tonight. I will see you tomorrow night precious. God has His eyes and heart on you and so do we!
Love you,

Hey Caleb and Korri!

I miss seeing you guys. Caleb is so adorable! It's good to see the new pics and know that he's still as handsome as ever despite his bad luck with being sick lately. It breaks my heart to read that he's going through this. Hasn't he gone through enough in life already! And I just wish there was something I could do. I guess just promoting the thought of organ donation to everyone I meet is all that is in my power. I pray for you guys and hope things get better, soon. It'll be hard but a transplant is what he needs right now and I will pray and beg for the call to come. Hang in there and keep getting cute pictures. Talk to you soon!

Hi Little Man,

PawPaw and I really were glad to visit with you yesterday, eventhough you didn't really know that we were there. PawPaw said you had been on his mind for several days and couldn't wait another minute to check on you. Sorry you are having such a bad time with not being able to eat or drink without throwing up. Hopefully, your mommy can talk with the doctors in Houston and Pittsburgh and they can finally come to some decision on how to treat your problem. You are such a brave little boy and we are proud of how smart and sweet you are. Sorry we didn't get to play much, but we were just blessed to get to see you, your daddy, Michelle and your mommy. PawPaw and Nana love you very much and are praying for you everyday. All of our special church friends ask about you and they are all praying for you to get better. Your fan club (prayer warriors) continues to grow everyday. Feel better little man and remember we love you very much.

Give Mommy hugs and kisses today.

Love you,

Hi Daddy,
It is me, Caleb. Today is Father's Day so I wanted to write a note in my book to tell you how much I love you. You are the best Daddy ever. I am lucky to have a Daddy that loves me so much. You started loving me before I was born, even when you knew I had some problems. I love it when you treat me like I am a healthy boy. We have fun playing with trains and cars together. I like it when you talk about how you will teach me to fish and hunt when I get bigger. I like all of your dreams for me. You could be a little bit braver about needles and shots like me, though. Daddy, I am so happy that God chose you to be my Daddy and I am glad you know Him and talk to Him about me.

I love you,
Your son,
Caleb

Sweet Caleb,
I just spoke to Mommy and heard you are no better. She said you have slept most of the day and continue to throw up. In fact she got off the phone to help your Gran with your while you had another spell. It is a great thing that your line is not infected after all! Too bad the docs do not know what is causing all of this. I am praying for a special touch of wisdom and knowledge for the docs to help you, though never ceasing to ask our good Lord for His divine touch on your body.
I love you Caleb,

Hello sweet boy. I am sad that you are so~so sick and feel so badly. You get a new pic line on Monday and already, an infection in it? Daddy told me you have been throwing up for 2 days and running a really high temp today. He said you have slept most of the day and did not even feel like playing when he and Michelle got there this evening. I pray you and Mommy will have a great night sleep and whatever is invading your precious body will be stopped!

Hi Punkin!
Grandpaw and I just got home from seeing you. Even though you napped through most of our visit, we surely understand why. Bleeding like you are must take a lot of energy out of you, along with the blasted line infection. It is heart wrenching to see, yet you are so brave about it all. Daddy and Michelle told us how they taped your pump to your hotwheel so you could still cruise the halls at 90 MPH. That was really neat since you love doing that. If you get another transfusion tonight, you may the energy to play that hard again on Monday. Still, we pray for the bleeding to stop and the infection to heal so you and Mommy can go home.... SOON ! Lord, please let it be this week!
Love you bunches and bunches,

I am so sorry that you got another line infection. I guess you just like being in the hospital, huh? I am glad that you are feeling well though. You are getting to be such a big boy now, reading the words your Grandma writes down. I am so proud of you for being so strong through all of this. You are definitely the toughest little guy I know. I will keep you in my prayers as always.

Not cool that you two don't get to go home. Though Caleb is sick, I consider you stuck in the hospital too Korri becuase even when someone gives you a break, your baby is there and that's where your heart and mind stay. Just call home "X-Ray" and maybe you'll get to go there. We had to do it with Tyler. You are in our prayers always. Hope to read good news next time I sign in and check out the site :)

Hey Caleb,
Thanks for all the snacks you sent home with Grandmaw and Grandpaw. I like the Rice Krispie treats best. Mommy is making me save them to put in my lunch box for school. I go to a school like your Gran works at. I don't like their food so Mommy packs my lunch every day. When you get out of that hospital, you can come to my house and I will share my pudding with you. We can play with our trains. I got a bunch of new monster trucks too. You will like them. Mommy and I just got home from fishing. She takes me fishing a lot. We go when she picks me up from school. I catch a lot but they are little. Do you like to fish? I will teach you. Just do not fall it the pond like I did today. Mommies do not like it when we fall in. Trust me. I can not wait for you to get home.
Oh..Grandmaw says you "count down" really well... 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,1...GOODBYE!

Hey Korri & Caleb,

I hope and will pray that you two get to go home. Even if it's for a little while it'll be worth it. You need your rest so you can revitalize for the big journey on the road ahead of you. Transplant is going to be a difficult time and you need all the rest you can get to prepare for it. I know from meeting Caleb and seeing how happy and healthy he is despite his medical problems that you guys are going to make it. He is a miracle and has touched our lives in a great way. Hang in there and enjoy what you can while you can.

I hope you got your tan Korri, I'm still pasty, NY weather is not so great :) Keep in touch. Always thinking about you and sending good wishes.

I am sorry you had another bleed. I hope you have more energy after your transfusion. This is another wake up call for Grandmaw to get back to the Blood Center and donate more blood. I was due to give again in March and did not do it. I feel rotten about that. I thank God for all those who give blood regularly so that you and others may have all you need. I must go to work now, but know that I will be thinking about you all day.
I love you,
Grandmaw

I read about your condition from Eighth Avenue mailout bulletin and wanted you and your family to know that we're praying for you. Our God is an awesome God and He's still in the miracle business! So, hang in there!

God Bless each of you...

No more pokes for Caleb ! I know you are happy you got your pic line in your arm Tuesday. I am so thankful you did well with the surgery. Now things should be somewhat more peaceful for you and a lot less stress on Mommy and Daddy. They can NOT stand to have you poked for all of those blood tests all day long. One more week...God be willing...one more week and you will get to go home to wait for "The Call" for your new organs. What a blessed day that will be. Daddy will be watching you tonight so Mommy can go home for a little break. You have fun and be a good boy, like always.

XOXO and more XOXO !

Dear Korri, I have been checking Caleb's website daily to see what has been going on, I am so sorry he is having so many problems. It is just a shame Caleb and all the other kids have to endure so much pain all the time. I understand how you are feeling and I want you to know I am continously praying for you guys. If there is anything more I can do, please let me know. Stay strong and keep your faith and God will see you through. It is just so hard to beleive Kenneth, Caleb, Justin, Corey and just so many others have had to be relisted and are having to face transplant again, I just do not understand but I keep praying and praying they all will get new organs soon and they will all get better. They have all been through so much and all of them are so strong, I wish I had the strength they have. Well take care and my thoughts are with you and Caleb. Your friend, Myra

Dear Mommy,

Today is Mother's Day and I want to tell you how much I love you. I am a lucky boy to have you for my Mommy. Before I was born, you and Daddy knew that my tiny body had serious problems, but you both chose to give me a chance at life. Other little kids are not so lucky because their parents only wanted healthy kids. You love me like I am perfect. I am glad you teach me my ABC,s and my colors and my numbers. It is fun to do dot to dots with you. You take such good care of me and make sure the doctors and nurses do all they can for me. You never give up on me and now that I need new transplants, you and Daddy say, "Yes!" when some parents might say no. I can remember since I was really itty, bitty, you have let me run my fingers through your hair. You do not worry if my fingers are messy because you know I feel closest to you when I do this. I know it is hard some times and you get tired and need more company while we stay at the hospital but God helps us so it is okay. Remember Mommy, Jesus never leaves us alone.

Thank you for being the best Mommy ever!
I love you sooooooooo much!
Happy Mother's Day,
Your son, Caleb

Hi Caleb,
I am so sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well and have a nasty infection. I wanted to tell you that my two little boys named Jacob and William love to come and look at the picture of you playing the drums, they both think that you are so "cool" and we all pray for you you to get better:)
Mommy and Daddy, I can not imagine how hard it is to watch your baby be so ill and go through so much. Keep your chins up and your eyes on Him. Our prayers are with you all constantly!

Caleb,
I am sad you had another fever this morning and then had to have another blood transfusion. I wish you did not have to be stuck so much. I am very thankful the bleeding has stopped again. That is a great thing! Your Mommy told me the doctors found the right antibiotic to fight this horrid bacteria. Prayerfully, you will begin to feel better really soon and will be able to get out of your room and play again. I am counting on it!

Love you much!

PLEASE PRAY AND PRAY SOME MORE !

Caleb has been diagnosed now with another terrible bacteria, Klebsiella, which attacks the lungs, first. A Google search produced some scary information that says it occurs most often in hospitalized patients with immune difficiency, like Caleb. Our God is so much bigger than Klebsiella ! ! ! When I called about an hour ago, they said Caleb was resting and not interested in his toys. Korri was online, so hopefully she was updating with more information. God bless you all for praying and believing God for yet another miracle.

Caleb,
I am so sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. Hopefully now that they took out your line the infection will clear up quickly and you will be feeling better soon. Seems like the E Coli was still lurking around in there since you just were infected with that yucky bug. I am praying for you as always. Hopefully I will be able to see you this weekend, if I can get some babies that will let me leave for a little while.

I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR ALL OF THIS NEWS! We have been so busy adjusting to the home life that I haven't had time to call, but I think of you and Caleb all of the time. I almost miss Pittsburgh sometimes and CJ and I keep saying that we hope Tyler and Caleb get the call for organs around the same time. We just got internet today and the very first time I logged on I came to your page. I HATE line infections and can't believe you guys are going through this. It's so not like Caleb to have one, and then two in a row is crazy. I'm glad you got out, and that he had a great birthday party, but it just broke my heart to read your updates. I want you to know that Caleb is in our prayers and always in our thoughts. You two helped us out a lot. Thanks for everything, and when things settle down and you feel you can talk, give me a call.

Well honey, It is so hard to understand how your health changes from HOUR to HOUR now. You got so sick again after Aunt Carrie, Aunt Carla & I left Saturday night. Then Sunday you had a wonderful day and your Daddy said you were a very happy boy and then that night...so ill again. It makes no sense. I am sorry you had to have another surgery today to have that central line removed. I can not hardly believe it is out and yet...AGAIN ... tonight, your Mommy said it happened again = the shakes, the vomitting, the high fever. May the good Lord heal you and soon!
I love you Caleb,

Hi there Mr Racer! I can not believe you did 11 laps around the floor on your HotWheel tonight, especially after being so terribly ill Friday night. I heard how awful and scary it was again when your fever spiked to 104.6 and you were shaking so badly. Thank God the fever went down. Now if that line infection would disappear we would all be happy!. You wore us all out tonight taking turns running with you while you rode your Hot Wheel. I thought I would take a "leisure" walk while you slowly pedaled around a bit. Boy was I in for a shock! I was out of breath after my laps. You just looked so cute racing down the halls. I am sure glad there were 5 of us to take turns! heehee Well sweet boy, I pray you have a GREAT night tonight and pray there are no more nights like last night!
Love and kisses,

I pray for a quick recovery.

Well it was a VERY happy Birthday for you today wasn't it honey! You had so many friends and family come to your party and it was sure nice of your nurses to offer the use of their conference room so all of us would fit. I will never forget that cute little smile on you face while we all sang "happy birthday" to YOU ! I grin just thinking how precious you looked digging into all those presents. It was great to see your nurse Shellie who has been with you every bithday in your life...even your first in Pittsburgh. What a special lady she is! Your cousins were sure thrilled to see you again, too! Oh...what a special night it was for all of us. Sighs...and more happy sighs thanking Jesus for making you well and happy on your special day.

I don't know too much about it, but it does sound very scarey! I will pray for a speedy recovery and that God will guide the Dr.'s to make the best decisions regarding this. I would love to come see you...I will call so that I can see if there is a bad or good time to come. Take care of each other and know we are always thinking of you!

WHAT ? ? ? A line infection ? ? ? Honey, I am so sorry you are so ill again...and so quickly. You were just fine yesterday evening when Grandpaw, Cullen and I left you and then BOOM... the infection hit your central line and you are got so sick. I hope you will not be in ICU long. Well, it is one step up from ICU. It has been awhile since you were in that area & I forget what it is called. I am praying the meds work fast and you do not have to be operated on to remove your central line. It will just mean another operation soon to put it back in a new place.
Sighs.... just sighs and a heavy heart. Baby... I am praying for you so deeply.
Love you so,

I am happy I got to see you at the hospital. You did not act like you were sick except when your Daddy put that huge bandaid on your tummy. I had fun playing with your cars and trains but I liked playing basketball with you the best. You kept giggling. It was funny. Grandmaw and Grandpaw will bring me back to see you again. They promised.

Good Morning Caleb and Korri. It is so wonderful to have the two of you back in Texas and so close to us again. PawPaw and I will be coming to Houston as soon as we can to see you. We have missed you so much. I'm sure you are not lacking for company. In fact, I'm sure the whole floor where you are is packed with friends and family. We have to wait until PawPaw can schedule a day off from the railroad. They are working pretty hard right now so it's not easy for PawPaw to get off. I promise we will see you before the week-end is over. Can't wait to steal kisses. I know Mommy is so grateful to be back home and can get the much needed rest she's been waiting on.

God bless you both and know that we are thinking about you constantly. We have so many people here that ask about you everyday and pray for you everyday. You're their Hero and inspiration.

Love you bunches. See you soon.

Where oh where is Caleb right now? Are you over Kentucky or maybe even Tennessee? We all are bummed that the TX Children Kangaroo flight team did not pick you up until 6pm! We wanted to see you so badly tonight. Mommy said you will not even land at Hobby until 9pm and then the ambulance will take you to Texas Children's Hospital. By the time you get to your room and the admit nurses and doctors check you out...it will be too late for a visit. We have missed you over two months... I am still thankful that we can see you in another 24 hours!
I am praying for traveling grace for you honey!

I just want to thank you for all of your help these past couple of months. It was great to get to know you and Caleb! He is the cutest little boy. So independent, yet so attached to his Mommy. He's lucky to have you. You're a strong women and a great example, someone I look up to. I had fun hanging out with you. The hospital is lonely without you two here. So boring waiting to leave.

Happy Easter precious boy! Grandpaw and I just got home from church and we are headed to your great-Aunt Janet's home. Most of your cousins will be there. Cullen asked me this morning if you would be there and I sadly told him, "No...Caleb is still sick and in the hospital". He replied, "Ohhhh MAN...AGAIN ? ? He needs to come home!" We could not agree more so we are praying that plans for you to return to Texas will happen quickly. We miss you so much and Mommy needs some help that we all can give her. Give your Mommy a big love hug from us.
Jesus loves you and so do we!

I know that would be so much better for both of you instead of just sitting in a hotel room! Take care of eachother and I hope to see you soon!!

Hi Caleb, I am praying, praying, praying your doctors let you go home and get your care in Texas....I know you can't wait to see all your friends and family---especially your Daddy! I look forward to seeing good news from your Mommy in the next couple of days!! Also, I am wondering what is it with little boys who ignore people...my little Cole does that too---do you learn it from your Daddys that early?!?! :) Happy Easter! God Bless you and your family.

Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him and on those who HOPE in His mercy. ..Our soul waits for the Lord. He is our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in Him, Because we have trusted in His holy name. Let your mercy, O Lord be upon us, just as we hope in You. (Psalm 33:18-22)

Caleb... A friend that prays for you and your Mommy and Daddy and even us grandparents, sent this verse to me tonight. What a loving reminder to us all not to put our "hope" in doctors but to keep our hope in Jesus!
Daddy says your docs are talking about bringing you back to Texas Children's hospital? ? ? I waited too late to call your Mommy and got her voicemail. Hopefully, the two of you are getting a good night rest! I will check in with her tomorrow to see how you are.

Hello Caleb and Korri, I am praying for you all. Sounds like there have been more problems. We have to keep our faith. There are alot of people praying for you and you family.

Sweet Boy, you have been through so much but you are a true soldier. Whatever battle comes your way you fight with all you have. We have seen that over and over again. I pray that you and your "ma ma" can come home soon. Everyone misses you and your "ma ma".
I wish I could have seen you pushing your mom in the wheel chair, I am sure that was funny.
I love you both and can't wait to see you again.

Caleb my boy... I am on my way out the door to the Women of Faith conference at the Toyota center. I went last night and it was wonderful! So often during the night, as the wonderful speakers shared what God put on their hearts, I thought of you and your Mommy and Daddy. I pray for all of you. My friends all asked about you and they are praying for you all as well. Today, as I listen to more, I pray my faith will be increased even more. We must trust God with our whole heart for all He has done for you and all He will continue to do for you. Have a blessed and happy day my sweet, sweet boy!
Love you bunches,

Korri, it was so good to talk to you the other day. I know that this is such a hard time for you especially being without family to help you out. But I know you can handle anything that is thrown your way. Caleb is very lucky to have mommy to love him like you do. I hope that he is feeling better and that his cough is going away. He is way overdue a break. Hang in there, soon you and Caleb will be home. Give Caleb a hug for me and Callie. She asks about him all of the time except she calls him "mikaleb". Love you both!
Vanessa <vli_23@hotmail.com>
Spring, TX USA - Wednesday, April 5, 2006 2:13 PM CDT

It's good to see the whole truth of how you feel. I was glad to read your update (not because Caleb's sick and you're overwhelmed, but it makes me feel like I can relate to you). It's hard to stay positive all of the time when the hospital gets you feeling not so positve a lot of the time. Stay strong, you know you can and will do anything for your precious little boy. And sometimes it's okay to go soft for a minute. You know you can call or vent to me, or if you need ANYTHING let me know. Hope Caleb and yourself are feeling better. Oh yeah, what'd you think of the snow last night? YUCK!

Sweet dreams honey. I could hear you coughing so hard while I talked to Mommy tonight. You were feeling too bad to try to even talk to me but that is okay. I am happy you at least got to hear my voice. It seems like forever since I hugged and loved on you. Grandpaw and I have been spending lots of time with your cousins but something is always missing and that something is YOU ! We will all be so happy when you can come home HEALTHY ! I am praying for that to be really soon. Your birthday is one month a way. Please God... a miracle before then!

Korri, this message is for you. Sometimes we feel trapped and wonder when will it end. The Lord never gives up more that we can handle. When Caleb is well and back home this will seem like it never happened. It is hard to stay in a hospital and frankly I do not know how you do it but I know that the Lord has a plan and that only he has the answers. I wish there was something I could do to make each day a little better but prayer is all that I can do at this time. Prayer works and we have to trust the Lord. Today will be a better day I am going to pray for you to have added strength. Caleb needs for you to be strong. Take care and I am praying for you.

Looks like Caleb will miss Cody & Camerons B-Day party again this year :(. But hopefully will be home for his. Ya'll are always in my thoughts and prayers. Talk to you soon. Love ya lots!!!!

Spring, tx Harris - Tuesday, April 4, 2006 0:13 AM CDT

Caleb, your Daddy called to tell me you caught a cold and are feeling really yucky. I called Mommy when I got home from work and she told me all about it. I am sorry you had to get that nasty catheter, too. Honey, I know you feel horrible, but will you give Mommy a huge love hug and give her lots of love energy kisses? She is really sad today and you can make her smile like no one else can. I am praying that God will take that nasty cold away and I am praying for Mommy to be happy and peaceful. I am also thanking God that He has assigned such wonderful nurses to care for you and Mommy there in Pittsburgh. They remind me of nurses Rachel and Shelly and so many other wonderful nurses you had at Texas Children's Hospital in NICU and PICU. Tell Mommy that Grandmaw said she better eat good meals. She needs her strength. A good wind could blow her away. Ok honey... I gotta go pray some more. My heart is sad so I gotta tell Jesus all about it. I miss you and love you.

Hey Bub, your mommy has been sending me lots of pictures of you. You keep getting more and more handsome like your daddy. HAHA She also sent pictures of your belly. Man does that look aweful but you will get through that like you always do because you are one tough kid. We are praying that all heals up. You can't imagine how much I miss you!!! Your mom tells me that she's worried about being an outpatient but i'm not sure why. She's great with everything. We have done it all before and she will do just fine this time. I know it will be scary for her at first but i think its just in her head. She could do all your care in her sleep. You couldn't have a better mommy for all that! Maybe wwen you two get discharged we can get enough money scrounged up to rent a car while ya'll are out. Can you believe that you will already be four in little over 1 month? I sure can't! I hope you will be home so we can have your party at Pump It Up since you have so much fun there. I just can't wait til you get home so I can give you the biggest longest ever. Man do i miss you. Continue to get well and i will see you before we know it. Son, I love you more than life itself! Now come home and see me. We all miss you.

Good morning Caleb & Korri! I pray that all goes well with Caleb's procedure this morning. You will both be in my thoughts all day. Sorry to hear about his fever and stomach bug. Seems like it never ends! Like I said yesterday Korri, I don't know how you stay so strong. I think this would break anybody else down. But not you. You just keep going strong. I really admire that. Please give the little man a hug and kiss from me and you take good care of yourself. We all miss you so much. Love you both!!

Vanessa <vli_23@hotmail.com>
Spring, TX USA - Thursday, March 30, 2006 8:00 AM CST

Good morning sunshine!
Well, it looks like you will be getting your central line at 10am as planned. I wish you did not have to get that again. I worry so much about line infections & it will be so difficult to keep it sterile with your bag leaking all the time. Mommy sent your Daddy a picture of your tummy last night. We will see him tonight and I want him to show it to us to we can see what we are praying for. I can not imagine what is going through your own little mind when you look at it. The doc says it will take a long time to heal. Well... NOTHING is impossible with Jesus so we will ask Him to heal it quickly and believe with all of our hearts that He WILL do just that.
I will be at work,praying for you and waiting on the call that you are ok after your line surgery. Do Grandmaw a favor ... wrap your little arms around your Mommy like you did yesterday and give her a BIG love hug from Grandmaw and Grandpaw. We will hug your Daddy for you tonight. That is the "bestest" love energy ever!

God bless you and keep you this day and every day!
I love you sweet boy,
Grandmaw

Caleb,
I am sorry to hear that you had a setback today, just as you were starting to feel good again. I hope that it will just turn out to be a stomach bug and you will be over it soon. I'm sure that it is no fun having that yucky tube in your nose. I'm praying that you feel better soon.

Korri, Sounds like you have a real buddy there. I wish we all could be there to watch him grow up.

I figure you can become a nurse or even a doctor after Caleb is grown.

I am thinking about you two daily and my prayers are with you both, Korri and Caleb.

P.S For anyone who can, please make a small contribution to the Caringbridge Website. I feel they are doing a great job bringing Caleb's story to all.

Good morning you two! You sound so good Korri! I know you are going to do great with Caleb in the hotel. You and Jared have always been wonderful with him. After a couple of hours at the hotel, you'll be back in the full swing of things and grateful since you can actually have a semi-normal life - running to the store, going for walks in parks, etc. I know if Jared could take off from work, there is no place he would rather be than caring for his baby boy. You are all doing a great job and we are looking forward to your return trip so we can see Caleb, especially Jared. In the meantime, give Caleb a hug and kiss from all of his cousins and always remember our prayers are with you, Jared and Caleb. One more thing - If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it!

Good morning! I loved the new update from yesterday. It is good to hear Caleb is feeling better and able to love on his mommy. He loves you so much Korri, you have been everything to him in his short life. I just know that everything is going to be fine, sometimes you have to take a few step backward to get where you want to be. Trust me I am an expert at going backwards! Before long it will be time to celebrate Caleb's 4th birthday and hopefully it will be at home in Houston. Love you both!

Hello both of you! I try and try to call your room but I never get through. Bad timing I guess. Just wanted to tell you both that I miss you and I hope you get to come home soon. I can't wait to hear Caleb talking his mother's ear off. I'm very excited that he is starting to talk more. Maybe he can let us all know why he likes to play in mom's hair so much! How adorable!

Caleb, Can't believe it has been over a week since I visited you in Pittsburgh. I am so happy that you are feeling so much better and are able to enjoy all your new things that mom bought you. You were just starting to do dot-to-dots when I visited you in Pittsburgh. It was so fun to watch you study the page as you looked for the #1, #2 and so on. Sounds like you are becoming a pro at dot-to-dots.
I was very surprised when I heard you had a photo shot. How fun is that. I wish I could have been there for that. You are becoming a real celebrity at the hospital. And rightfully so.
I was also excited to know that you will be an out-patient soon. I know your mother is nervous about leaving the hospital but she knows her stuff. I have a lot of faith in her and and I know she will be just fine in taking care of your medical needs.
Can't wait to see you again. Hopefully, your Aunt Kristin and I can come together for a visit in June.
I love you, Gran

Ha! I see your Daddy was signing your book while I was reading your Mommy's update! How about that! Well, I am smiling to hear you had a good day. Your Mommy may be a little afraid about you being "out-patient" soon, but she is a PRO with all of your care and she will not only do ok...she will do GREAT at it like always. Both your Mommy and Daddy amaze me with how they care for you and how much they know and understand about your medical condition. I am so very proud of both of them. Maybe...just maybe, Grandmaw can find a way to come stay a week with you and your Mommy. Lord knows, I do not know 1/2 of what they do...but I am good for something! heehee! I will add that to my prayers, too. I love you so much and miss you more each day precious boy! Before you know it, you will be able to talk to me in full sentences on the phone!
Hugs and kisses!

Hey Handsome. I hear that you are doing better. I call mommy everyday to check up on you and can hear you talking your head off every time. Can't wait to see you. It kills daddy to be so far away and unable to see you when i want to. Mommy says that it may be possible for you to come home in a few weeks or so. I'm not sure if i can even wait that long, I may just have to plan another trip to come see you and give you a great big hug. I love you bubba. Take care of your mother and stay strong!

Good Morning Caleb and Korri, Just up early - was saying a prayer that you two will have a wonderful day. I bet the weather is really cold there. Is it snowing? Have you been able to go and get suckers lately? I am praying daily along with my friends that you will be home soon. Callie is coming to play at my house this weekend.

Hey Korri,

Just wanted to let you know that it is so nice to hang out with you and Caleb. You are the only adult I conversate with besides the Nurses who come in and out of Ty's room. It keeps me sane. I love going to the gift shop with the kids. Though I know Caleb has a long road ahead of him, it's great to see him doing better. Watching him laugh and tell you what to do is so cute! Just thinking about you guys.

Good Morning Sunshine !
I hope today will be another great day for you! I know you are much happier to have your own room with the extra space for all of your "stuff". It is not always easy sharing a room with strangers... even really nice ones. I read that Makenzie had to come to Pitts for a scope yesterday. I hope you and Mommy got to see her and her Mommy. We are praying for no rejection for her, too! I am so thankful that you are not having any major bleeds. I only wish the bleeding would stop completely! Most of your testing should be about done and we will find out if you are "officially" listed for your new organs. Honey, I am still praying for a really big miracle for you so that another transplant will not even be needed. I hate for you to have to endure that again. I am praying for you and Mommy and Daddy today and everyday.
Sweet thoughts of you all the day long!
Love and kisses... xxooxxoo

Caleb, Today is Sunday and as I sit here at the computer I can hear the birds right outside my window and they are just singing away. I was wondering if you and your Mom had a good nights sleep and how the two of you are doing. I am praying that you are continuing to heal. My wonderful friend Miss Hazel is getting up in front of her church this morning and asking for prayer for you. I am sure that you will feel the Lord working. Have a blessed day. We are all still praying and love you very much.

Caleb, I was at Walmart last evening and saw Thomas the Train dvd's. He is cute. First time I have ever seen him. I was actually looking for a pink horse for Callie's Barbie to ride. Do you have all of the dvd's? Let me know I would love to send you one. We are still praying for you to get better so you can come home and be with your Gran and see all of your family and friends. Hope you have a relaxing and restful weekend. Give Mommy a huge she may need one this morning. God Bless you!

Dear Korri and Caleb,

It's Friday, St Patricks Day. Just making sure you both are doing fine and wearing some green. Don't want any of those nurses or doctors pinching you.

Also wanted to tell you I love you and can't wait until you come home.

Maybe I can come visit within the next couple of weeks.

Love Dad and Grand Dad

Good morning you two! How was last night for you, Caleb? I hope you and mom were able to sleep soundly or at least as soundly as you can in a hospital. Korri, I know the thought of another transplant is scary but look at how tough Caleb has been through everything. I believe there is nothing he won't make it through. I will keep praying that this transplant is the answer and that soon Caleb will be able to live the life little boys are meant to live. Stay strong and know that even though you may feel alone while you are so far away, my thoughts and obviously many other people think of you and Caleb all each and every day. Love you both and miss you!

Have you gotten to see any new Thomas movies lately? They are neat...huh? How about Percy...do you like him? Who else do you like? Which one of Thomas' friends do you have?
Sweetie, you have a great day, and give Mommy a great big hug and kiss. I bet she loves your kisses.

Hello Korri & Caleb! I was at the doctor all morning and I just thought of you two the whole time. I am so happy to hear that Caleb is still doing so well. Very scary about the transplant, but I really think this will be for the better. Hopefully he will have it and never have to look back! I really hope he doesn't start itching again with his milk, cause that's what he loves! At least you'll know if that's what it is though Korri, cause we all know how sad it is when he sit's there and just scratches his skin raw for hours! Poor baby!! Anyway, gotta get back to work. I'll check up on you both later. Love you two.

I heard you guys were back in Pittsburgh, so I've been catching up on everything that's been going on since you got there. I am so sorry to hear about what Caleb is going through. I know it must be so frustrating, but I know you guys are strong and will get through this. Just know that all of us at TCH are thinking of you and keeping you in our prayers!

Hi Caleb! I hope you were able to enjoy some pedisure last night. I bet that will taste so good to you after not getting it for so long. I am very glad your hearing test went well. Your mom is right though, all boys have selective hearing:) I can't wait for your mom to tell us you when you say your first sentence. That will make her and your dad so happy! Give mom hugs for me and take care of her, she loves you so much. We miss you both here in Houston. Callie asks about you all of the time. Love you!

Good morning. I hope that you both were able to get some rest last night. I am so glad that you were able to give us an update. Korri, you and Caleb have been been through so much. I was wondering if parents with healthy children really appreciate their children's excellent health. We do not stop and think how lucky we are. Caleb is a real trooper, he has been through alot also. I know that sometimes you probably want to pull your hair out. I did find out last night that my friend' prayer group had special prayer for Caleb last night. I know in my heart that Caleb will be better soon and home here with his Gram. Probably at this point nothing could make him happier and with prayer this will happen. We all will continue to prayer for you, Caleb and your families. Take care and God bless.

Jared & Korri,
Wow! Another transplant...that must be really scarey. BUT the flip side of that is that it may be the key to Caleb's recovery.
By the way, Korri, there is absolutely no reason for you to feel guilty about finishing your bagel before going to the Recovery Room. Seriously now, how long did that take?!? You do deserve a moment to finish eating without having to feel guilty. In fact, you getting to finish a meal is VERY important...Korri, you have to be able to have some strength for yourself, too.
Jared, hopefully you are doing okay through all of this too. Being in Texas has to be really tough on you right now.
Thanks again for the update!

Korri, I hope you have had a chance to get some much needed rest and some relaxation...yes, that means some time away from Caleb...a rested/relaxed Mommy makes everything seem a little easier.

Hey Caleb,
It's tootie, I check in on you everyday to see how you are doing. It's great to hear that you seem to be doing better, and enjoying your company. I'm sure your Mom is too because even as a nurse those hospital walls are tiring to look at. I pray everyday for your health and fast recovery. You have two great parents and it stinks that the best care for you is 1400 miles away from your Dad and he can't be there more. We miss you and let me tell you, you are the best thing about your Dad. Get well fast and don't forget to be nice to the NURSES!!

Hey Korri,

I was so sad when I heard Caleb had to have another surgery. I was hoping now that I am finally allowed to leave the hospital with Tyler that we could take the kids for a walk or to the museum (Child Life has free passes). Now it looks like Caleb's doing a little better. If you want to go somewhere with the kids, let me know... Or if you want to go out one of these nights while your Mom is here I would be more than glad to do that too. I'm glad that I got to meet you while you were here, though I wish it was under different circumstances. I truly hope Caleb stays out of the OR, heals and doesn't need a second transplant. You two are always in my thoughts. I respect you alot for what you've been through and how you handle yourself, the situation, and Caleb.

My mom always tells me that God has a plan and I know that this is true for Caleb. He has been blessed with a wonderful mother and this will all work out the way it should. Just stay strong and keep believing. Miracles do happen, we have seen it before when Caleb received his first transplant and I know God has not forsaken him now. I love you and miss you.

I am sorry to hear that Caleb had to have a 5th surgery. I think it is a great idea to speak with the orginal doctor who transplanted Caleb. This will also give you a second opinion. I, as always, will pray for wisdom for you and Jared on the decisions that ya'll are having to make. Know that I think and pray for all three of you often. If you need anything please just call.

Hi Korri,
We are still checkin in and praying for Caleb everyday. I don't blame you one bit for wanting to check with DR. Reyes. He did Dante's transplant and I would call him in a minute if I had a concern. He is very reachable. The two numbers I have are 206 987 1220 and 206 543 9738. I think Brande and Brandon are actually there now. Give him a call Caleb deserves it and I think you would feel better!!

* * * CALEB IS OUT OF SURGERY * * *

Well.. it was "3" more holes this time. It is difficult to explain, but the surgeon made the 3 small holes into one larger one and once again, connected it to the skin of his abdomen. It now resembles a second stoma rather than a fistula. Korri or Jared will explain it better when one of them has time to update the journal. Needless to say, much prayer is needed not only for Caleb's healing but especially for Korri and Jared as they discuss their son's future plan of healing. There is the option of putting Caleb back on the waiting list for another bowel transplant but of course, that is not a good option. They just need wisdom and guidance for the decisions they must make. They also desire to speak with Caleb's original transplant surgeon who has since moved to Seattle. This is in no way intended to disrespect the wonderful doctors that are doing so much to help Caleb now. They just would like his opinion and so pray their search for him will be easy. No matter what road is chosen, the docs say the stay in Pittsburgh will be a very long one. This will be HORRIBLE for Korri to face this long term alone in Pittsburgh, and Jared's separation from Caleb (due to the necessity of work) has him going deeper into depression. I am terribly worried for both of them. Please, will you pray for both of them daily? I KNOW that God is able to miraculously heal Caleb and bring him home to Texas. That is our heart's desire. God's will be done.

Korri just called to tell me that the surgery team just took Caleb into the operatating room about 10 minutes ago. Once again he is bleeding. Gran asked the doc how many times can they keep putting him under "safely" and the doc answered "many" times. At times like this, we do not even know what to pray for. Do we pray it is just another small hole...or what? Please,please, just keep on praying for Caleb, Korri and Jared. I do not know how much more they can take. Special thanks to the Lord that Gran is there to help! More news as we get it!
Bless you all for praying!

Hi Caleb and Korri, I am very glad that Gran made it there safely. I bet you were both so happy to see her and I know she felt the same. Caleb, you have such a wonderful family. I hope today is the best day yet for Caleb and that you all get to enjoy each other and that mommy gets a well earned break. Love you all

Hi Caleb !
I talked to your Daddy yesterday and he said you were still bleeding a little bit but by the time your Gran got there it was better. I just had to ask her what you did when she walked into your room. Yep! You "lit up" and gave her a big 'ol smile like I knew you would. That gave me a bil 'ol smile, too! Your Mommy gave Gran the paper with all of the lab numbers and most of them sounded really good. That bili count is still way too high but God be willing, it will go down TODAY ! You and Mommy have a fun day with Gran. I will be at work so I will check in with your Daddy and will be praying for all of you. Your Aunt Debbie is having surgery today and Grandpaw will be with her at the hospital so we need lots of prayer for her today, too.
Love you sweet boy!

Hi Korri and Caleb, We have been praying tonight for all of you. I also asked another prayer group to start praying for you and your family this morning. Can't believe I missed the one Mrs. Jackson is in. Korri, I hope your Mom arrived safely. I hope she brightened your day. Please take care of yourself and your precious son.

Hi Caleb and Korri. Just thinking about you two. I hope you are feeling much better today so you can play and enjoy your grandma Caleb. Korri, please take a break and have some "me" time. Lord knows you need it and deserve it. You'll wear yourself out going to bed so late and getting woken so early by those loud nurses and doctors! Give Caleb a huge hug and kiss for me. We all miss you and I'll keep praying you two come home safely and SOON! Luv Ya

Good morning Caleb! Today is the day your gran will arrive. I hope that you are feeling better and do not need as much pain medicine so you can be awake. Hopefully, you will be able to disconnect for a little while and get outside of your room. Korri I am glad your mom will be there soon to take care of you for awhile. I know you need it! Hang in there I know soon things will be better! I love and miss you both!

Good Morning Caleb,
I hope you have a great day. I know your Mommie gets discouraged with all the roller coasters but God is in control and soon we believe you will be better. We are looking forward to that day. Keep up the good work with your ABCs. Remember God has a plan and we are trusting in that. Take care and we will check on you tonight and in the morning. Love, Sidney ( A friend in Texas)

Good morning sunshine! I just had my coffee on the patio, listening to the birds sing as I looked around me at the trees and sky and clouds and all that God created. I thanked Him for the sweet reminder that He is the one and only God who created such a wonderful earth and all that is on it. Surely, as I live and breathe, I know He will make you better Caleb...and quickly. He will make your lab numbers perfect and stop the bleeding. I also asked Him to give your Gran safe travel to Pittsburgh. Today is the day you get to see her!!! I wish I could see your face when she walks in your door. I bet you light up like a light bulb! (Your great-granny uses that expression a lot). I know your Mommy will feel so much better when her own Mommy can put her arms around her and squeeze her and hug her. Don't you love it when your Mommy and Daddy gives you big 'ol love hugs? You are going to have lots and lots of love energy today. (That is what Grandmaw calls kisses and hugs). Since you had help to give you rest yesterday, maybe this evening you and Gran can take a little walk and have a short break from all the tubes. I am late for work so I will check in with your Daddy today to see how you are.
Here is some love energy to start your day! XXOXOXO = hugs and kisses.

Jared, Korri and Caleb,
Oh, Korri, I am so sorry today wasn't such a good day, BUT we can claim Tuesday as being a GOOD...no, make that a GREAT day for all of you! (May God, The Father, grant you rest and peace.)
Caleb, it sounds like you are doing a really good job saying your ABC's. Keep up the good work.
Jared, it must be super hard to have to be in Texas with Caleb so far away...my heart goes out to you, too. Both you and Korri are having to bear this struggle in your own unique way, and it is not an easy road to travel.
Continuing to believe in Acts 3:6b.

Hi Caleb! Just making sure you know I'm still thinking about you and your mom. I sure do miss you two a whole lot! I'm very proud of the way you are staying so strong and making improvements with your speech. You are so lucky to have such a great mom that is so strong and is helping you everyday with getting you back on your feet. Can't wait to hear your little giggle again. Korri, I just hope you know that you are doing a fantastic job with your son. Don't ever think differently. Caleb is very lucky to have you as his mother. Come home soon. Love U guys. Jess

Hello Baby Boy. It was wonderful to read your mommy's update on Sunday and to hear that you are doing better. I know this must be very frustrating and upsetting to you since you are older and better able to see and hear all that is going on around you. I'm so sorry things have been so very bad for you, but with God's blessing and intervention, you will get better. Korri, I am proud of you for being so strong, and we are praying for you always. I can only imagine in a small way what you are going through so far from home. When Ronny was diagnosed with colon cancer and we had to have surgery in Nebraska, I was alone there also. Others in the family wanted to be there, just like we all do now, but it was impossible. I spent the long hours in the hospital waiting on the results of surgery and the many days later in ICU waiting for Ronny's release by myself. It is a terrible feeling, but with much prayer from family and friends, we were able to meet the challenge just as you have done. Caleb, your mommy and daddy are strong and they both love you very much. I'm sorry that Daddy can't be there with you, but please know that his thoughts and prayers are with you every minute and he is so anxious to have you home. Enjoy your visit with Gran. I know you will be so pleased to see her. Maybe your mommy can get some much needed rest while Gran is there.

Please remember, everyone is praying constantly for your speedy recovery and we wait for you to return home to us.

We love you little man.

Hey Bubba, it's dad. I sure do miss you a whole lot. I wish I could be there with you but I have to stay home and work. I hope that your mommy will understand one day. I pray for you daily and can't wait for you to get home. It's very hard for me to be so far away from you when you are stuck in the stinkin hospital. I just don't want you to think that daddy has forgotten about you. I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE WORLD. Get better son and come see your daddy.

Hi Caleb! I hope today goes as well as yesterday. I know you and your mom both need more good days. Tomorrow will be even better because your gran is coming to see you and I am sure the next week will go perfect! I wish we could all be there to see how happy you will be to see her again. Love you!

WOW is right, Caleb! What a difference a day makes! Going from a tragic Saturday with bleeding and surgery to taking 10 steps on Sunday! You are such a fighter Caleb! That was really neat for your Mommy to take you to see the train and get you out of that room for awhile. I am really happy you are keeping up with your big boy school work...abc's ! I smiled when I read Mommy's latest journal entry to hear she is happy, too! I pray today will even be happier. One who has never met you, but prays for you daily sent us a verse from Psalms 30:5 "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning." (Thank you Sidney). How amazing is that... such perfect timing. God's timing is always perfect and because of that I claim verse 6 along with it..."I shall never be moved". Thank you Jesus! Only one more day until you get to see your Gran! What a fun reunion that will be!
Kisses and hugs,
Grandmaw

Caleb and family,
This is Lisa steiners mom and Tyler Nichols -Steiner grandma. I want you to know that my prayers are with you and all of the kids parents and grandparents going through something like this. It takes strong caring loving people to hang on in situations like this but keep the faith and believe in miracles which you seem to already have one! Thank you so much for your support with Lisa she talks highly of you and caleb.

Words...how can our human words even begin to say the things that can comfort your hearts...only the Holy Spirit knows!!!
May God's tender hand of love and mercy reach down and heal Caleb, and may His peace abide in your hearts.
Please, let me know if I can help in any way.

I am praying that your bleeding has now stopped, and that you will not need any more surgery. I am also praying for your Nurses and Doctors that they will have the wisdom and patience needed to care for you. Stay strong little man, I know you will.

Houston, TX USA - Saturday, March 4, 2006 8:30 PM CST

Thank the good Lord, Caleb is safe and sound back in his room. No ICU ! Korri was not sure how long the surgery took, but she did say it did not seem like it was very long this time. There was a new hole that had to be stitched. This makes the 3rd hole since his major surgery 2 weeks ago. The doc does not think it is time to cut this weak portion of bowel out and resect it because it could cause Caleb to loose the entire bowel. He says it is the "last restort". At what time is that...the last resort? How many more holes..how many more bleeds?? Speaking of bleeding, Caleb was still bleeding when he returned to the floor. Is that normal? Pray it stops. Hearts are heavy, nerves are shot but faith prevails!
Thank you all for praying...from the bottom of my heart.

Caleb, sweet Caleb. I wonder what you are thinking. Please do not be afraid. Jesus loves you and so do I!

URGENT PRAYER AGAIN... 4TH SURGERY FOR CALEB IN PROGRESS

Please read Korri's update for details on Caleb and pray with all your heart, not only for Caleb, Korri and Jared...but ESPECIALLY for ALL the medical staff. It has been an AWFUL week for the doctors and nurses. They are being pushed to their limit. Two transplant babies have gone to be with the Lord this week. While 7 nurses were attending to Caleb's bleeding, another child was having seizures and a mother of a 3rd child was crying hysterically on the phone. The nurses were screaming for help from doctors. I thank God for them but right now they ALL need a touch from the MASTER'S HANDS. The transplant team just completed at 12 hour liver transplant on a child that began about 11pm last night. They must be exhausted. God has healed Caleb over and over again through the hands of these doctors and nurses. Pray for them now.
God give them strength, peace, new knowledge and energy to do what YOU have called them to do. We are trusting you for all things concerning Caleb and all the other children and families there. Without you, Lord Jesus, there is no hope. We know this so we ask that YOU increase our faith that we may believe with our whole heart. Thank you for your love. Amen and amen!
Caleb, I love you so. Fight baby, fight!

Hi Korri, we are praying sweetie. I am so sorry that you are having another set back. Poor Caleb, for being so young he is going through alot. Alot of adults could not handle what Caleb has had to endure during his lifetime. He is a child of God. He is a fighter and he has prayer on his side. I will make sure that the prayers are working all day long. I have a meeting this morning - I will ask that all of the ladies to pray for Caleb and also that the Lord will give you strength to comfort and to be strong for Caleb. Please keep us updated today. God bless you both......In his holy name.

Hi Korri and Caleb, just got off the pray with a couple of the ladies that are praying for you both. Hope today was a good day for both of you. Callie and I went out the Livestock Show yesterday. She was tired and feel asleep in the stroller. Hopefully, next year you can go also and see the horses, cows, goats, chickens and of course the pigs. Callie was not really that interested because it was hard to see everything because alot of the elementary and day care schools were there and they got to go first. The prayers are coming the Lord is working to get you well. When you get home Vanessa and Callie are going to plan a special day for the four of you. I will keep you in my prayers.

Korri, I just read your insert from Wednesday and I am in tears. I do not know you well but I felt as though you were talking to me. I wish I could be there so you could at least have a break. I spent the day with Callie. We talked a little about Caleb - she told me that he is sick but will be home soon. She was very serious when telling me like she really understands. I cannot tell you how many of my friends are praying for you both. Please know that I do care and I think about you and Caleb all of the time......wish I could do something. Do not worry the prayers will not stop. Please take care of yourself because you precious Caleb needs you.
