After church, one of Caed's most favorite nurses came out to visit. It was so good to see Marla again (here.....NOT at the hospital!). She took a very special interest in Caed and our family, and we will forever remember her. I blogged about her many moons ago while we were still in the hospital. She is responsible for being the one that pushed to get Caed the daily 4-6 hr. away passes. She saw what "living" there was doing to Caed (mentally), and knew he needed more time out of the hospital. Thank you! You were our very first (day) nurse up on the Pedi Floor out of ICU.....thank you for loving Caed the way you did. He was a very troubled little boy back then, and yet you knew just how to deal with him. We love you very much and will forever be grateful for your expertise, compassion, and friendship!
My heart is very heavy for tomorrow's weight check. Please pray for those few ounces. 34 is the magic number!!!!! If not, he will need to get back on TPN. (not something we want!) Our dr. appt. will be at 3:00.

Caleb was ready for the cold front!
His turtle is intended to sit on a nightstand or
dresser......but he wanted to sleep with "Lighty"
