Caleb needs our help!

[canucklehead]

My nephew Caleb was a year old when he became quite sick and his parents took him to the Fredricton Hospital later that day he was sent to the IWK in Halifax. They had discovered he needed immediate care he had E-Coli which basaically causes the major organs in your body to begin to shut down.

Caleb is now 5 years young and a few months ago they decided that he would need a kidney transplant within the next year or so then they discovered that it would have to be done within the next few months because it was causing stress on his heart.

Now less then 1 week before his 6th birthday we have just found out that his kidney transplant will have to wait because he now needs a heart transplant first this sucks so bad! I can honestly say I have never been this scared in all my life!

My hopes are that people will take a moment to pray for Caleb or even just take a moment to think about all the innocent sick kids that spends months on end in the hospital unable to just be a kid. I never realized what it would mean to have an athlete like Dominic Wilkins come and spend some time with him infact I don't even know if he knew who he was but his Dad and I sure know who he is.

I know over the next couple of days my wife is going to have an address for the Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto and we are hoping to send him as many cards as we can possibly manage so if you have a buck and would like to contribute I will have the address posted here very soon.

One last thing.....

"Don't take your organs to Heaven.....Heaven knows we need them here!"

Thanks,

Always sad to hear when a small child is having so many health issues, however the positive thing is that he has so many people close to him that love him and will be strong for him. It amazes me when I hear how strong some of these sick kids are. My cousin was diagnosed with surge webber disease when she was only a few months old, the doctors said she would not live past 1 or 2 years old, and would be in a vegetative state if she did live....She's now 22 years old, a high school grad and is working to help the blind, amazing Kid...tell your bro and family to stay strong and keep the faith. Miracles do happen, and kids are a lot tougher than we think sometimes.
