I can't believe that 5 months have flown by since Caleb joined our family! I am so thankful that Caleb is very low key and not high maintenance at all! We are a family on the go and he just goes with the flow! He is so happy and brings so much laughter to our family! He has had many doctor appointments the last couple of weeks. I know he has learned to trust us because he used to freak out at the doctor even if they weren't doing anything! Now he trusts that we are not going to do anything to hurt him and he is the best patient! We really don't know what all was done to him in K*rea so maybe he had reasons to be scared but not anymore. You can just feel the confidence and trust that he has gained. We found out that he does have hearing loss in his left ear. We are still doing testing to figure out the type of hearing loss and the extent of the loss. We are also facing future surgery for his bladder. Let's just say potty training will not be happening anytime soon. Despite these challenges Caleb continues to amaze us with how much he is unaffected by his spina bifida. Just watch him for a little while as he runs, jumps, does somersaults, climbs and on and on! I marvel at the goodness of our God to bless Caleb with legs that work! I am so thankful that God spoke to our hearts that day back in May 2009 and told us he was our child. I am also thankful that we didn't let the fear of adopting a special needs child stop us. God has big plans for Caleb and I thankful that I get to watch it play out each and every day!
Enjoy these pictures from his birthday celebration!
