PDP Exclusives by Rebecca

So today was another step forward for Caleb. The breathing treatments are slowly working so they are doing them every 8 hours. We talked to the Cardiologist today and he was talking about "when Caleb goes home". This brought such joy to my heart and are the best words I have ever heard. They are still waiting for his ductus arteriosus (PDA) to close. Once they get his lungs better they will wean him off of ECMO and will soon be deciding what to do about the PDA. If it doesn't close soon they will have to do surgery to close it. We are meeting with the cardiologists and neonatologists on Thursday afternoon to go over what the next steps are to get him healthy enough to go home. 

Thank you all so much for your continued support and prayers. We will never be able to thank you all enough! They are working!
