Where has the time gone?! I have no good excuses for not posting... Time just flies when you're raising a 4-year old, working, being a wife, going to physical therapy sessions (Caleb's and mine), trying to raise lots of money for the MDA, etc., etc...
The Jerry Lewis Telethon this year was very successful. In San Diego over $650,000 was raised, and nationally over $60 million was raised! It's amazing and heart-warming to see how generous people can be during these tough economic times.
Caleb was a real trooper at "his TV show". We arrived around 8:15, and I was answering phones from 9-10. Caleb's Crew answered phones from 10-11, then about 11:15 we had two live interviews back-to-back. All the while Caleb was hanging out with different people, hamming it up both on-air and off.
Right around the time of our interviews we could tell his mood was going down hill FAST. So we took a break for lunch, and after some pizza and birthday cake he was back to being in a fabulous mood. So he went back on air where he helped the crew say, "Ring, ring, ring, ca-ching, ca-ching, ca-ching," he "tossed" a baseball, and just ran around in his walker. At one point he was about to walk out in the middle of someone else's shot, so I asked the director, "Do you want me to get him out of there?" He replied, "No way! He's the best thing for these camera guys to shoot!"
Here's Caleb hanging out with Palo, a fantastic Canine Companion for one of the other kids.
There were some clowns there, too. Check out Caleb's creative way to make a clown nose!
