MM129 and Our Hero Caleb

 I love this picture of Ally, Leah and Jennie at Leah's baby shower when she was pregnant with Caleb.

 Leah and her beautiful babies...

 Our Caleb is the happiest, most courageous boy. He is our hero:)

Last Thursday his left leg was amputated because of a neurofibromatosis tumor that had grown on a nerve on his leg to be almost 10lbs. He has suffered with this tumor since he was a baby, but in just the last few months it grew completely out of control. His dad took him to Primary Children's hospital in SLC, where the specialist was, for the surgery. Aunt Jennie was there too and never left Caleb's side:)

Jennie took this picture at 4:30 in the morning...just 8 hours after surgery. Caleb was ready to party, wanted some cookies and said to Jennie, "take a picture of my cool leg!" His attitude and courage brings tears to my eyes. I know that all of the love, faith and prayers of so many (and his angel mom Leah, who I know was with him)...made all the difference. Miracle.for sure. Before the operation the doctors said he would probably be in the hospital for about 5-6 days. He had his surgery Thursday at 5pm and about 20 hours later they were saying he was doing so amazingly well that he could go home. Caleb and his dad flew home Saturday morning and he is doing great!!!
I am beyond grateful... We love you Caleb!!
