Our grandson Caleb is at UCLA Medical Center having surgery on his foot today. We have all been worrying and praying for this sweet little boy. The bones in his foot have not been growing properly and so they had to go in and add a cadaver bone and re-position the bones and put screws in to hold everything in place. He will be in a full leg cast for six weeks and then a walking cast for another few months. This is a lot to go through for a little five year old. We just received the update from Brian and the surgery went really well...We are so grateful. Caleb will have to have a few more surgeries in the next few years. He is such a special, wonderful little guy and we all love him so much.
Being very naive as a younger mother I used to think that all the big worries would just go away when the kids grew up and left home...Ha! That was silly! There is just way more to worry about, pray about, be concerned about and many, many more to love!!!
We love you Caleb!! Get well soon XOXOXOXOXOX
Olivia has been staying with us for a whole week... We have been having lots of fun and enjoying every minute with her!

... that is a lot to go through no matter how old you are! what a bummer.
i would be happy to paint a super hero onto his cast if it would make him feel better.

We will have to plan on it Suzanne...I know Caleb would love it!!
that is no fun.... I think it's harder on the parents - and grandparents than it is on the child! Hope everything turns out wonderfully - I can't believe how big Leah's kids are. Seems like just yesterday that she even had Kaleb. Must everyone grow up so fast?

glad to hear that things are going good. Have fun with Olivia.
