I took a few minutes last night to catch up on our little friend Callie from Atlanta. She has been at Stanford since last July where she has endured numerous surgeries and spent a majority of her time in the ICU. This week Callie was moved back to an Atlanta Children’s Hospital via a care flight so that the family could be closer to each other. This family has two other children and it has been very tough with mom and baby sister on the other end of the country for the past eight months.
The miracle in this is in the simple fact that Callie is alive. There was a point a few months ago when the doctors were certain that Callie would not survive the next 24 hours. There was such certainty in this prediction that the family was making funeral arrangements. This week when Callie arrived in Atlanta one doctor said to her parents, “you will never really understand how incredible her survival is from a medical standpoint” after he had been reading through her records.
Reading the story of Callie’s safe arrival back to Atlanta brought tears to my eyes last night. I was filled with joy over what God has done through this little girl’s life.
Caden Update
Caden has been fighting a nasty cold for almost two weeks now. He has not been tolerating the tube feeds very well and has had green goop streaming out of his nose. Even still, I was able to capture some video of him saying a few words this week. He says Mama, I Love You, and Moe. Moe is referring to Moe and the Big Exit which happens to be Caden’s favorite video. I hope you enjoy.

Riley and Josiah
As it has been said, “a picture is worth…” These guys are doing pretty good. Josiah is fighting a cold, cutting his first tooth, and learning to roll and squirm/army crawl across the family room floor. Riley is doing great and loving on his little brothers.
