X-Games

A couple of weeks ago Jeff got hooked up with some tickets to the X-Games for the family. It was such a cool experience. We went to watch the skateboarding finals and were definitely entertained. We got to see Shaun White clinch the Gold! Caleb loved the moment and said afterwards that he really wants to meet Shaun White. So if anyone knows him, can you please spread the word?

The latest "Calebism"

12/17/11

Last weekend we were at the MDA Holiday party. He opened up the gift they gave him and it was a set of toy cars. He exclaimed, "Hot Wheels! They're so awesome 'cuz their wheels are so HOT!!!"

I can't believe I forgot to put this one on here!!! A couple of months ago we ended up in the ER with Caleb - he had the flu and just had a rough night. While we were there he saw a nurse pass by in the hallway. He stopped mid-sentence and said, "Whoa. She is so beau-tee-ful. I think I want to add her to my collection."

What is Ullrich Congenital Muscular Dystrophy?

In June of 2007 Caleb was diagnosed with Ullrich Congenital Muscular Dystrophy (UCMD). This is an extremely rare form of Muscular Dystrophy - to date there are only a few hundred documented cases worldwide. It is considered a slowly progressive and life-limiting form of MD.

This does not mean that hope is lost. There is new research being done for this disease, as well as many other neuromuscular disorders. In the last 4 years, Caleb's Crew has raised over $65,000 for the MDA and designated all funds to go towards research for UCMD.

Thank you,
