By now I thought I would be writing good news about Caleb regarding his surgery. I know many of you have really stood by me and have been keen to follow Caleb's story. I talk with his mum regularly and she has been an inspiration to us. But the last two weeks have not been so great for baby Caleb..he has been in and out of hospital and has grown so frail as his mum told me yesterday. He is hardly breast feeding and she has to give him drops of milk for hours just to get him fed. She has even sent her 4 year old daughter to her mum's so that she can give Caleb all her attention. I have never heard her as low as she was yesterday and the feeling of helplessness was all I felt.
Caleb was to travel to India 1st week of February but a seemingly better option came up from a hospital in UK who would have catered for all costs inclusive of air fare and hence was pursued. The hospital took sometime to get back to the parents and when the feedback came last week it was devastating as they said his case was too complex for them and he needed to go to India. When the doctor delivered those news to Nicoletta last week when Caleb was unwell she really cried and has been down. I can understand because they were so close and prepared psychologically and this option came and didn't work out and now its back to the drawing board to get funds worth Kshs 450,000 to get surgery for his 3 heart defects done urgently. The situation is getting desperate and as I told Irene ,the Programs Coordinator , I don't even know where to start or even seek funds as friends had helped raise a bit of funds.
Why I hold this boy so dear is because I have had the opportunity to hold him in my arms and closely interacted with his mum.Her faith and courage through this has been a challenge to me and now hearing her so low and wondering what she must be going through with Caleb unwell makes me so sad. So kindly if you can share Caleb's story with your friends and families we would really appreciate. Funds can be sent to Mr. Peter Gachahi (Caleb's dad) 0721843918
Thanks for listening to me. Will keep you posted
