Long story short, he was sedated (schlafend gelegt) and had tubes for feeding/ breathing etc. in him and was just laying down / tied to the bed for almost a week. He finally got ex-tubated (Tuben entfernt) yesterday morning I think and the medication is slowly weaning of. They might send him out (of the ICU) to the floor (normal hospital) for recovery so if they're very lucky he can go home on Christmas Day (1. Weihnachtstag) but that's still in the cards...
Anyways... the car got totaled and now on top of all the hospital bills they need an additional car as well... so I wanted to start a donation but after I asked Lindsey she wouldn't take the offer. So many people are supporting her with notes/ gifts/ cards... so I was going to drop it but I got approached by my neighbor who asked me if I know this girl (he read about the whole story on my Facebook) and he said he wants to donate 500$ to start the donation off and get people motivated to donate. I couldn't believe my eyes when I read the email so I again... didn't know what to do and checked with the other mom's in the group what I should do and now we decided to do something in the background so people who want to donate something can do so.
See my little donation raising :)
I probably wouldn't be so sentimental about it if I wouldn't have gone through the Special Care Unit experience with Henry! But since I've been through that and that was ONLY SCU with a HEALTHY baby!!! Caleb had bronchitis with pneumonia and a virus or something... I cannot imagine... so I'm very very very happy to see him progressing well and hopefully he'll be home at least by his birthday. We'll celebrate his 1st birthday on January, 7th and man are we gonna celebrate that birthday :)... I bet you that it'll be the party of the year :).
Here a picture of Lindsey with Caleb... she can finally hold him again for a little while...
