Hello Everybody

   Here is a message that I just received with regard to Kalb, his family and friends and those involved in organizing this People Helping People Community. I hope you will all continue to pray for Kaleb's recovery and please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers as well. Thanks Everybody

This bulletin was sent out earlier this week, but due to a MySpace error, did not go through.

Please read below:



Dear Friends of the Help Kaleb Page,

It is with joy and disappointment that we at the Help Kaleb Page post this bulletin. Joy in the fact that Kaleb's body is making progress, but disappointment that the actions of a small number of people could cause so much hurt. The responsible party has compromised Kaleb's safety and the safety of others.

Please do not let this discourage you all, this family NEEDS your prayers and support! PLEASE continue to pray for Kaleb's recovery, his mommy and daddy, the upcoming trial, and even those intending harm for the Schwade family.

We will be removing the PayPal button as per the family's request. We, at the Help Kaleb Page, encourage you to continue to send your encouraging emails and cards.

We apologize for the delay in sending last week's update, several of us were away from our computers. We plan on continuing to send out updates on Kaleb and his progress- as we receive them.

We are still in the process of selecting a family to feature next. Again, we will continue to offer support to the Schwade family in various ways. We are merely expanding our efforts to reach more families in need. Our goal is to change the world around us- one family at a time!

Moving forward, we will be doing things differently at the Help Kaleb Page. We will be consulting with lawyers and accountants in order to ensure that everything is done legally and properly. We will also be looking into fundraising efforts for the Help Kaleb Page to cover some of these costs. Portions of the proceeds will go toward background checks for prospective families, lawyer & accountant fees, etc. The remainders will be donated to families in need, foundations, and possibly toward supporting efforts to further stricter legislation for child abusers. HOWEVER: Any monies collected as donations for the families we feature will go 100% toward that family and their needs.

We look forward to working together with you all to help more families in need!

God bless you all, and PLEASE remember to PRAY for the Schwade family!

Below is the long awaited update on Kaleb!

--------------------------------------------

September 2, 2007 - Sunday


It’s Been Two Weeks

It has been about two weeks since I have updated about Kaleb. I have nothing but good news!!!! Kaleb is DOING GREAT!!! I mean really good! He is strating to get used to a lot of things. For instance, in the past when we would move him, hold him or bother him, he would get very irritated... Now he is TOTALLY DIFFERENT. He LOVES to be held and loves his weedkday nurse. He dosen't cry when he gets a diaper change. He lets you know when he has a poopy diaper. He stays awake HAPPILY for a few hours at a time. He does this cute thing with his arms and holds them up in the air as if he were flying! Maybe he is dreaming of flying! He holds onto rattles. He has started to rub his eyes a little bit. The other morning I got up and went and said goodmorning to Kaleb and he was out like a rock... but as soon as I spoke, he opened his eyes!!! HE CAN HEAR! I KNOW IT! He just has a healthy glow now. I know that he is healing.



He went to the nuerologist the other day and she thought he looked great too! She did go up on the seizure meds a little bit. He was having these really wierd twitches... She said that she could say if they were seizures or not... But they really aren't that bad. He also went to a rehab doctor and he says that he has good flexibility that he doesn't even have to wear braces!



Josh and I have started to try to take Kaleb with us to the store, my parents house and friends' houses. At first Kaleb hated it. He hated the car seat, the car, and the stoller. He hated anything that wasn't at home. Now he has come to enjoy it... He seems so relaxed now when I take him places. We are trying to win the battle with the car seat though... that makes outings a little bit difficult. So we got him this carseat that is supposed to offer the BEST su pport for the head amongst other areas. WELL.... Kaleb's head likes to fall forward the entire time! So I have to pull over quite a bit and readjust his head. THEN! once I figured out how to make his head stay back... THE STRAPS ARE TWISTED AND UNEVEN... It's always something with the car seat! For the amount that it cost, you'd think that they make it user friendly. Josh and I thought about it and we want to invent a car seat just like the one Kaleb has but instead of using straps we want to use something similar to a seatbelt. I think that would solve a lot of frustration for parents.



Kaleb has almost been home an entire month! Wow his birthday is only 3 months away! I can't beleive that he is almost 1! I pray that Kaleb is sitll be home three months from now! I thank God EVERYDAY for saving my little boy! I thank him for all of the blessings that he has given us. I know that he hears all of our prayers! Thank you!



I will be posting new pictures...

Hi BillDaddy,

I have just spent a hour looking over this amazing site. I could stay there all day just for the wonderful music alone.

I am so happy for the update on baby Kaleb. I can't wait to see the new pictures when you put them up.

I have some ink cartridges that I will be gathering up for www.inkjetforkaleb.com 

I usualy give them to Staples,,,But not anymore!!!!!!!!!!

Have a great Labor Day.

Peace.

Hello Sharon

    This is truly a beautiful thing. One cannot help but believe that the power of love , light and prayer are behind this miracle of Baby Kaleb. So many people have joined together for this common cause that is has inspired many others to continue the process and help other children who have been injured in this manner. It is so reassuring to see these things happening. Especially when the world is so engulfed in chaos, war and hatred. I believe that as more and more people become aware of this spiritual side of life, the darkness will lift like the fog on a bright summer morning. LOL

    Thanks for stopping by here and sharing your enthuiasm for love and life Sharon. Have a great day.

Sincerely, Billdaddy

This is spectacular news Bill!
Thank you so much for sharing and caring Kaleb with us.  :)

Still sending Love & Light Kaleb's way,
Ally
