Our Little Friend Kalmin

Our little friend Kalmin is starting to feel better.
The doctors figured out that he had a rare kind of pneumonia, so he is being treated with antibiotics.
Today he looked and felt better, his little body definitely responding to the medication.
His wonderful mama was with him all day, helping to make sure he didn't get so agitated that he would start to cry, since crying could make him stop breathing.
For both Kalmin and Tikva, breath... healthy breathing... is the most precious gift.
These are two incredibly mighty and determined little people, and the look in their faces is that of a sage.
Old souls, I think.

Please keep prayers coming for Kalmin, so that he recovers completely from the pneumonia, so that his lungs recover from two months of being on the ventilator, so that he can go off the vent soon, and so that he continues to move toward complete health and the surgery that will allow him to breathe, smell, taste and cry out once he no longer needs his trach tube.

Mighty beings, I tell you...
With a mighty purpose.
