update on Caleb's Leg

Caleb is going to have to have surgery. We aren't sure when, but probably in the next few weeks. The cyst (air pocket) in his bone is bigger and has expanded. He won't have to be in a cast though---which is good news. We haven't scheduled the surgery yet...the Dr. is hoping it will give him another year of strength in his leg. Then we might have to do something more invasive next year. We will see how long it last. Right now she told us to be careful--no playground equipment. I'm not sure how we are going to keep him from doing that since he climbs our ladder at home and jumps onto the bed into a summersault. I will update again with Thanksgiving pics soon.

Oh My Gosh... we will pray for all of you, because it will be a difficult time. Please let us know what we can do to help? Do the Dr's know what has caused it? Are there anymore in other bones? What sort of surgery is he having? Does he know? At least he won't be in a cast. That probably a relief for everyone. love Wendy XXX
