Greetings to the fair populace of the Society! It is things like this that make me PROUD to be a Scadian! 

Just yesterday, I sent out a call for someone who could knit baby caps for a six month-old in a PICU unit in Florida. The response was shockingly huge! I had many people write to me saying they were going to contact Heather, and that they would make some caps. She has already received a few! She has sent an update from his mother for everyone in the group, and sends a warm thank you for all the help so far. To everyone who has offered help and/or has already sent caps, I say HUZZAH! Thank you for being the kind and generous people you are. Truly, I am wow'ed by the responses. I knew there was somebody that would be willing, but I didn't imagine it would be so many somebodies!

Vivats the Dream!

Below is the update sent by Kristy, Kaleb's mother:

 Kaleb had an Ok day today. The doctors have ordered speech therapy to start  coming in daily and I was told the the lady who does it that this was a good  sign. Today we focused on stimulization. I talked directly into Kaleb's ear and  he responded by slightly moving his head to my direction. His breathing also  increased. Then we played the lullaby glo worm and his arms shot right up in the  air!!!!!!!!!! I mean STRAIGHT UP! I was so happy to see that. Then we focused on  his mouth. We took a soft rubber thing and rubbed it against his lips and he  would kind of smack his lips together. The speech lady thought that he did  REALLY GOOD today. I was so happy to hear this! He is making leaps and  bounds and I pray that this just continues. There has been a problem with his  breathing pattern today though.... It has been kind of lower than normal. So I  hope that this is nothing serious. His o2 stats are perfect though so I am sure  that it is nothing serious. 
 This weekend is Father's Day... so I went out and got Josh something small. I  had to run a couple of errands today. So I haven't been at the hospital too much  today =( But Grandpa was! Now we are all here Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, and  Grandpa. 
 Tonight Josh and I are going out on our date! We were told in one of the  letters that we rcv'd to go out on a date... so we are going to celebrate  fathers day tonight. Thank you to that special someone who made this possible.  
 The Arraignment to coming up VERY SOON. I am anxious for this... I need to  pray about this. 
 Please continue to pray for my little man, Pray for his breathing to improve  and pray that justice will be served for him
