How blessed we are! That is by far one of the first thoughts that comes to mind as we look at all the progress made by baby Caleb in just one week. Yesterday was yet another great day for Caleb. Doctors have now tapered him off several medications including a blood pressure medication and a sedation medication, he has responded well to all. A couple of days ago they switched his ventilator to one that better simulates his normal breathing, after checking his lungs and using the new ventilator Doctors felt it was time to start tapering off his oxygen, he is also responding well to this they just need to get him awake enough to have his brain start telling his lungs to function. Everyday it seems as though they remove a couple of more machines, taper off a medication or just push him in general to complete a task that he has not completed before and every day he responds with the utmost positive results. Everyday this little guy never ceases to amaze us with his strength and determination. It just validates the quote from E.T. Sullivan quoted by President Hinkley in the December issue of the Ensign magazine, "When God wants a great work done in the world or a great wrong righted, he goes about it in a very unusual way. He doesn't stir up his earthquakes or send forth thunderbolts. Instead, he has a helpless baby born." It is amazing what this little guy has taught us in the short time he has been on this earth. We once again want to thank you all for everything all of you have done and will continue to do.

Alicia,
When I heard of your blog yesterday at church I was quite excited. I've have been worried and wondering about your little guy. I'm so grateful he is doing better each day. I'm grateful for the technology to keep in touch with those we care about. The Lord does bless us in ways we can't understand. May you continue to find the strength to bear this trial. Your little Caleb is sooo cute. I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas.
With Love,
Kamber Dent
