Adjusting to life with recently diagnosed three year old with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (as told by his mom, Michelle)

4.24.2005

My poor mom got a taste of Caleb's wrath last night. She babysat so Chris & I could go out & spend time together (as per doctor's orders!). She called cause Caleb was crying for chicken nuggets. He wanted a certain kind (which we had in the deep freezer). When we got home she was like, "I don't know how you do it." I was like, come on mom-you raised three of us! She was saying her age has slowed her down. My mom's so awesome. When Caleb was diagnosed & Chris & I were "living" at the hospital,she kept Caitlyn that whole week and a half. I bet that brought back some memories for her with the daycare thing & bath nights & temper tantrums. Heeheeheehee! And she only had half of the pair!! I'm really excited. Caleb walked from his bedroom to the kitchen & sat down to eat at his table. Then we walked to his bedroom so we could change his clothing. He had syrup all over himself from the French toast he ate for breakfast. Then he walked all by himself back to the computer room to be Chris. And he has been so much more talkative the past 2 days. (He's not quite back to talking as much as he used to but he's getting there!) For those of you that have been praying for him and thinking about us, I don't know how to thank you or how we could even repay those that have helped out in other ways. I know that God is listening to everybody & has great things in store for Caleb when he's older. I want to mention that there was a newborn baby from Del Rio who from what I understand was taken to the same hospital we were about the time we were discharged. That child was born very prematurely. Please keep that child in your prayers as well!!!
