update on Caleb

Remember awhile back when I posted about that growth above Caleb's eye??

Remember when it looked like this....

That picture was taken a mere 3 months ago. And if you remember correctly, I posted how he pulled it off...and it bled and bled and bled.

And then it looked like this....

And now....well. TAKE A LOOK.

let me ask you all a question.

answer this...

Do you see anything above his right eye??

Do ya??

Look again if you're not sure.

NOPE! There is nothing there.

nothing.

It is gone.

Gone I tell ya.

Sometime before Christmas his Pyogenic Granuloma was once again ripped off. Okay! I'll admit it. By me. But I didn't mean too. I was trying to put his shirt on over his head, and well....it just sorta came off. And it bled. But not for long.

But the most important thing is that it has not grown back like it did before.

Brandon told me a week or so later that he had been praying for it to just come off by itself so that we wouldn't have to put our sweet boy under anesthesia if we didn't have too....

and low and behold. Here we are now. I really believe God had his hand in all of it because no one can believe that it hasn't grown back. And we still have not heard back from the doctor's office that we took him too to have it removed. And we definitely should have by now. Is that a coincidence?? I think not people!

Anyway, I asked his pediatrician to look at it and these are his words not mine,

"well, it's not totally gone. The only way to have it totally gone is to have it removed through surgery. But it looks fine and does not need to come off. It's up to you as his parents. If, say, he grows up and it grows too and he comes to you at 11 and says "mom...Susie won't love me because of this thing on my eye!" then you can have it removed"

WHAT a relief!

So we will wait and see what happens as he gets older.

We are feeling so blessed right now. Especially to see how something that can be thought of as not a big deal to some, really is a big deal to Him. It brings a smile to our face to see that it has been taken care of by a Great Physician who knows more than us.
