WOW! What a day… We got to the hospital rather early today because of the surgery. I was SOO nervous today. They took Kaleb down to the OR and Josh and I walked with them all the way up to the OR doors. I was so scared that something would go wrong… We then sat in the waiting room for about an hour. The surgeon came out and told us that everything went GREAT! They released a massive amount of Pressure out of his head. They put the drain on the opposite side of his head from where the last drain was. We waited out side of those doors of the OR that seem to change SO many lives EVERYDAY for Kaleb to come out. They definitely change my day that is for sure… As soon as those doors opened I saw my baby boys blue eyes. They were wide open and looking around! Kaleb came out completely changed! He is moving so much more and opening his eyes! PRAISE GOD! It is amazing how that one room can change a person’s life SO much even if it’s just for one day. This one day, today, has been a high point since this whole thing happened. Kaleb is still blind but this is a step forward! I believe in him with all my heart! He is going to make a change in this world… I know it!
Later on in the day we were told that the meningitis is still there. But, because the drain has been put in, they are now able to deliver those crucial, EFFECTIVE antibiotics directly to his brain. They told us that the course of this will take about 5 days. However they anticipate that the drain will be left in for at least 3 weeks which means that he will remain in ICU.
On another note…
An article was published in the St Petersburg Times today about the response that Kaleb has received from ALL OF YOU on here! The article was one of the more positive ones that have been published since this whole thing has happened. THANK YOU! FOR ONCE… there is a positive bit of news that is being broadcasted…. I am so tired of hearing about how evil the world is. Yeah… what happened to Kaleb is EVIL by all means, but look at the positive that Kaleb’s story has brought out in me, my husband, my family and ALL OF YOU. I am so touched at times that I just start to cry…a good cry! I would like to say a special Thank you to the reporter Justin George for portraying this positively… I know you are keeping track of this blog =).
God showed me he is here AGAIN. So it just so happens that a Space Shuttle was launched today from the Kennedy Space Center and over here in Tampa… AMAZINGLY we are able to see it. SO me, Josh, my Mom, my sister and my Dad all walked to the top of the parking garage so that we could get a clearer view of it all. Well this afternoon was very stormy, a typical summer day I guess you could say. We got to the top and we saw the most BEAUTIFUL thing that I have ever seen; A promise, at least that what it was for me. A promise of Love, strength and most definitely a reminder of faith. We saw TWO full rainbows, one on top of another. I mean in full vibrancy, they were the most amazing sight in the downtown Tampa skyline. I have never in my life seen a rainbow this bright. We could see from one end to the other. This surely was a sign to me. A sign that we are not alone in this, that God will not leave us to walk through this alone. He feels every tear that I cry and hears every prayer from all of you. I just think that it wasn’t a coincidence that TWO FULL rainbows just APPEAR over the hospital. I believe that this is a promise that in some way or another that everything is going to be ok. I KNOW IT and FEEL IT in my SOUL.
I know that a lot of you are not spiritual… in fact I wasn’t nearly as spiritual before all of this. But one thing I can tell you is that God is near. I feel him and I know Kaleb sees him. We named him Kaleb after Caleb in the bible. He led people to the land of honey, the promise land… I know my Kaleb is bound for something great. He is leading people to awareness. He’s leading people to pray who haven’t prayed in years! I may just be a proud mother…but this I KNOW IS TRUE!
Thank you for listening to me tonight… I know this is a long one. Please continue to pray for my baby boy… I know he hears each and every one of you. THANK YOU!
That he does! Thank you Dear Lord Jesus! You are AWESOME!
