Caleb is Home!

Caleb is home from Phoenix Childrens Hospital. We came home on Friday night. On Wednesday some blood work came back telling us that Caleb has Valley Fever. For those who don't know what it is, it is a fungus that is found in desert/dusty areas. It is inhaled and for most people they don't even know they have it or they get flu like symptoms. Caleb's body just did not handle it well. The doctors think he has been dealing with this for a couple of months. He is going to be on medicines for at least 3 months. They did a bone scan and a spinal tap to see if it had reached any other body systems. The Dermatology group said there has not been a documentated case where the skin reacted the way Caleb's did on a child. So they might write an article about him and the lead demertologist is rewriting his text book and they might put Caleb's case in it. So we e-mailed the pictures we took and they took many pictures of his feet and hands. Who knew Caleb would be so strange. We are so happy he is going to be fine. He is kind of tired and still a little sore. But seeing friends has helped him forget.
