Day 3 Beginning

It is hard to believe that we have only been home for 2 full days! Without much sleep on the plane, we were all tired for the last 2 days, but able to get days and nights turned around much more quickly. I am happy to report Caleb sleeping through the entire night last night, as well as, Brett and I. I feel very refreshed this morning and it seems as though everyone is on track also.
After sleeping in on Thursday, Caleb and I took the kids to school, where we spent 2 hours. He was the show and tell in both classrooms, and loved all the attention in there and all over the building.
Caleb went to the Dr yesterday (Friday) and did very well, as we were there for almost 2 hours, and at the end of that time, he had to have blood taken from his arm. He cried as they took the blood, but did not even try to pull away, and was easy to console afterward. After nap and the kids coming home from school, we visited the zoo. We stayed indoors and only visited the stuffed animals. Abby and Keanan had a blast dragging Caleb from exhibit to exhibit and showing him everything! He loved every minute of it. If all this lavishing continues, he will be one spoiled little boy! I figure he might as well enjoy it, as it may not last forever.
We plan to attend church tomorrow, and then Caleb has an appointment with the plastic surgeon on Monday, and shots on Thursday (The Children's Hospital wants to redo all of his immunizations). I know that he will do well with them, but hate to see him have to go through all of that.
Take care and keep up the prayers for the little guy, as he is just beginning with needed medical treatments.

Congratulations to the Bastian Family!!!! Your journey was so wonderful to read. I even had a few tears of happiness as I was reading this wonderful journal. I am happy for all of you and am glad that Caleb is adjusting well with your family and that your family is also adjusting well to your sweet little boy. God does wonderful things to us. Enjoy every moment that you have with him and the rest of the family/friends.
