Pray for Caleb

Well, I haven't been wanting to write because I didn't want to really come to terms with what has taken place but I guess I need to write about it to get it off my chest. On a good note, we got back from the National Youth Workers conference with Doug Fields on Monday. That was such a great conference. No resting but very informational. Monday night Caleb was coughing a bunch and instead of trying to wait it out a little I just decided that I was going to take him to the doctors on Tuesday. Well, the doctor listened to him and we talked about his history and mine and so the doctor has diagnosed him with asthma! Breaks my heart so much to know that he is having a hard time breathing. I wish I could replace my lungs for his. As a parent, you feel so helpless to not be able to just make it all better. We have been doing treatments every four hours with a spacer tube and an inhaler. We are waiting for the nebulizer to come in the mail. Thankfully, a friend of ours was able to get us one for free. We were going to have to pay $130.00 for one and I would totally pay whatever the cost to help him breathe but if you can get stuff for free why not! So that is what has hit us in the face now. Please keep him in your prayers! I had it when I was little so I am hoping and praying that this will just be a storm that will past and that he won't have to deal with this forever.
