Hello Everyone! Good News...Caleb did really well on Saturday with the passy-muir valve for the first time! They said a lot of times kids freak out when they first put it on but he did awesome! The doctor was really pleased and said he is going to do really well. So we have to put the valve on once or twice a day for about 10 to 15 minutes. He's been doing really well and I think he could actually go longer then that. I know he really wants to talk. We can't wait!
We didn't go to our church this weekend as we heard about a special healing service that was taking place at The River Church out in Kapolei. So we went to church there on Sunday and took Caleb. It was a good experience...very different from anything I've ever been too but it was really good. We are so excited about God's healing and trying so hard to patiently wait. We have to remember to keep believing and to not let the devil turn us away.
Brandon and I have been at each other lately. But it's also brought up a lot of talking sessions between us which we really needed. We have been able to express to one another our feelings about Caleb and the whole situation and our weaknesses and strengths...and so on. There are times when we both feel like giving up...just wanting to cry non stop...there's so much feelings but we don't express it to one another at the time and I don't know why we do that. We're slipping into a whole but praying to come out of it. We just miss Caleb sooooooooo much! I mean...we miss how he used to be and we want him back to the way he used to be!
Tonight I took the boys for a walk in the new jogging stroller. And let me tell you....that stroller was a good investment! It's such a smoother ride for Caleb. He's not bouncing all over when we're on the sidewalk and the asphalt. I think it's much more comfortable for him. They both fell asleep on the walk...for the night! Amen. We had a whole mob with us on our walk this evening. (Brandon's parents, My mom, sister, and neice Callie) Callie is so cute. She's so good with Caleb...rubbing his face, kissing him, and waiting to play with him.
Well it is now Tuesday morning so I better head off to sleep! Have a wonderful day!

Dear Lord,
You know Baby Kamakana so much better than I do. You know his sickness and his need. You also know his heart. Lord, I ask you to be with Baby Kamakana, working in his life. Let Your will be done in His life. If there is a sin that needs to be confessed and forgiven, Lord, please help him to see his need and confess. Lord, I pray for Baby Kamakana because Your Word says I should pray for His healing. I believe You hear this earnest prayer from my heart and that it is powerful because of Your promise. I have faith in You to heal this child, but I also trust in the plan you have for Baby Kamakana life. Lord, I don't always understand Your ways, and why Baby Kamakana has to suffer, but I trust You now. May You be glorified in Baby Kamakana life.
May God Bless Baby Caleb and his Ohana in this rough times..Make Strong Braddah..I Have faith in you....
Love & Aloha,

I just watched the video presentation about your ohana on myspace. First and foremost I'd like to send my deepest prayers and strength from my family to yours. I have a 3 yr old daughter and a 6 month old son. One can only imagine what you allare going through at this time. May god continue to bless Caleb and your Ohana. Don't give up its a long road ahead, with the love you have for each other you can do it.
I got an email about little Caleb! I was so sorry to hear about it... I've added him to our prayer list at Church..... I know God is able to heal him completely... With God, ALL THINGS are possible..... Remember, the Will of God won't take you, where the Grace of God, can't find you! He's always with you! Yall are in my thoughts and prayers.....
Love and Prayers from Texas!
