Today's Update

We went into see Caleb this morning. He's got a whole bunch of tubes and sensors all over the place and an oxygen mask over his head. He is still needing 35% oxygen. When he is breathing, you can see him just laboring over his breaths and taking what looks like short shallow breaths.
Hannah and Daniel came later this morning and brought cheer to all. Hannah was very interested in looking at Caleb through the window in the nursery. She kept asking "how big is he?" "Well, he's bigger than your doll, Lisa." "Is he bigger than Daniel?" "Ah, no, Daniel is quite a bit bigger than Caleb and probably will be for quite some time."
We went back over a little later and they told us they had to increase his oxygen level to 43%. If it gets to 45%, they will have to take him to Valley Children's Hospital. Clovis Community is only about 5 minutes from our home, but Children's is about 25 minutes. And if they go to Children's, they will probably have to put him on a ventilator.
The Lord has really ministered to us through Caleb's name. Faithful. Our Lord is Faithful. Even through difficult times like a little guy having a hard time breathing, he is Faithful.
Debra's talking to Julie Thurber right now and giving her the blog address (high Julie!).
