My Little Man

Hey Everybody, just wanted to keep you all updated. Caleb is doing really good. Tonight was a really good night. They finally took out the IV in his head, which is good cause it was really hard to see him like that. One of his arms is pretty swollen due to all the IV's he's had in it and his poor little veins can only handle so much, but that will go down shortly. He opened up his eyes tonight and was wide awake for awhile as we got to hold him and talk to him. He only got upset a couple of times but i was able to console him and calm him down by singing him a cuban lullaby (which of course has to do with food) he is definitely a Hogue, haha. He has not had any more seizures since he's been at the hospital, which is awesome. He is such a tough little guy. It's so hard to see him like this, with IV's and cords coming out of everywhere, but he is doing such a good job through it all. He has two little neighbor girls that are premie's and it is so sad. They both barely weigh a pound and look so tiny and fragile. My heart truly goes out to those parents. I think about all Caleb has been through from the high risk pregnancy till now, and even though it's been difficult and at times felt like a complete roller coaster, I think about how much worse it could be. I just praise God for everything He has brought Caleb through and the continual grace He gives us. I am so thankful for our "little miracle". It's crazy because even though it's so hard to see him in the NICU, I have a complete peace and am full of excitement because I know God has big plans for my little guy. No matter what adversities he might face, God's hand is upon him and absolutely nothing can stop that.
