Well, the dreaded countdown is on to Caleb's heart surgery...August 9th! It is a day we have dreaded for over a year now. It will truly be an experience we will never forget. Not that it wasn't the first time around, but this time...it is SO different, SO much harder! I have cried about it, prayed about it, tried handing it over to God many times, and am so anxious I can't imagine being able to sleep as it gets closer, but we know God has placed Caleb in our family for a reason and so I have to believe that He will get him through this as well. We can't wait until this is over and he is back to us with a new strongly beating, healthy heart. He will go in on 8/1 for a heart catheterization procedure for the cardiologist to take all kinds of pictures, measurements, etc. to prepare the surgeons for exactly what they will be dealing with once they operate.
Below is a few pics of Caleb's 11th month so far...we made it to the beach for a few days. Trying to sneak a 'vacation' in with the older two before the summer becomes all about Caleb again. So there is a pic of him at the beach, enjoying HIS time with the remote, etc. :)
Thank you all for your prayers as this journey continues...
stay tuned, we will certainly update here as we get through each day.

Prayers for you guys as always. It's hard to believe it's been almost a year since these little ones came into our lives and I wish you didn't have to be back in the hospital this August too. Take care and email or message me if you need to chat.
