Caleb Is at His Second Home!

Today Caleb was finally discharged from the hospital.  After a lumbar puncture and chemo treatments he went home with Sarah to the Ronald McDonald House for the rest of the week.  We praise the Lord for the excellent care that Caleb recieved so that he would be strong enough to get back to semi-normal. 

We heard some scarry news and then some really good news that made the scarry news way less scarry.:)   Caleb has the Philadelphia chromosome type of Leukemia.  15 years ago this was very bad news and the prognosis was not very good.  But, there are new chemo treatments that are having excellent results in stopping this particular type of Leukemia.  We were encouraged to know that there are many people who have recieved this new treatment that are cancer free. The results (so far) are very encouraging.   But, since the treatment is new the long term results are still not known for sure. 

Continue to pray for Caleb that these treatments will be exactly what he needs to get rid of this disease.

We are still hopeful that Caleb can make it to all-state next weekend-but pray that it will be the right thing for him at this point in his journey. 

Thanks you for all you prayers!

These verses have been encouraging to us throught this great trial:

Psalm 40:1-3
 ¹I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
 ²He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
 ³And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
