One day at a time

Over the last couple of weeks Caleb has been making some great progress! He has been gaining weight (a big deal seeing as he hadn't gained any weight for about 4 months) he put on half a pound in the last 10 days!! He is over 18 pounds now. (18 months old) he has put on 3 pounds in just the last 2 1/2 months! The Dr was very serious about him gaining weight and told us he has to be eating or he would have to have a feeding tube. Caleb is still finicky sometimes, but he is eating way more than he used to and not throwing up, like at all! He has only thrown up twice in the last 2 months and it was not near like the crazy episodes he had for so many months. We are so amazingly thankful!!
Tonight he was also sitting better than he has in a long, long time! He was even using his hands while he was sitting and didn't need them for support. So great!
I don't think it's any coincidence that everything seemed to really start going uphill very quickly after he was prayed for by family, church, and friends. Thank you to everyone who has been praying for our precious little guy. We have heard from lots of different people that "God's got this." How that plays out we are not sure but we know that we are not alone, and God has a plan and purpose.
So we will keep believing for miracles in our little boy's body, and celebrating the improvements we can see.

Love,
Jessica
