Caleb's Birth and NICU Stay Photo Gallery by Charles Crawford at pbase.com

Caleb's Birth and NICU Stay

Caleb William Crawford was born on August 26, 2006. By our best guess he was born at the end of his 27th week. That means he was approximately 12 weeks early. He was 2 lbs. 15.6 oz. and 15 inches long at birth. He spent 64 days in the Arlington Memorial Hospital NICU. Please see his other galleries for updates on his progress.

Our heartfelt thanks go to the men and women at the hospital who worked so hard to bring our son into this world and give a very scared mother and father such wonderful comfort. You are God's messengers of love and we are forever grateful. Thanks to the NICU staff who watched over him every day as if he was their own child.

Thanks also to our wonderful family and friends. We am awestruck by your continued support. I can't say thanks enough for surrounding us with your love and friendship.

Thanks most of all to our Lord and Savior who brought this beautiful child of promise into this world and watches over His child, Caleb, every second of the day. We are thankful and blessed that you call us your children and reveal to us your loving-kindness and mercy daily. Jer. 29:11

Progress Report - November 17: I have moved Caleb's photos since he came home to a separate gallery. Go back to Caleb William Crawford and you'll see the new gallery. This one was just getting too big. Speaking of too big, little Caleb is up to 7 lbs. 11 oz. as of Tuesday, which was also his due date. He is doing well with his eating but still has reflux issues. Prayerfully, as he grows, he will also grow out of it. Thanks, Charles, Becky and Caleb

Guest		11-Nov-2006 01:22
Praise the Lord, Caleb is finally home with you both! I'm soooo glad! Love, Uncle Larry

Charles Crawford		10-Nov-2006 16:53
Progress Report - November 10: Caleb went to the doctor yesterday and was weighed in at 7 lbs. 5 oz. He is getting so big! He is 3 days away from his adjusted due date (adjusted when he was born by the doctor) of November 13. He still struggles with reflux but he's gaining weight, praise God. He's doing great and we're so glad he's home.

Charles Crawford		07-Nov-2006 21:08
Progress Report – November 7th Caleb is doing well at home. He is very hard to feed and is still fighting painful reflux but doing well. His mom and dad are tired but happy to be home together as a family. The days fly by and little Caleb is growing like a weed. At his last check up on the 2nd he was 6lbs 13.5 ounces but I’m sure he is at least 7lbs by now. The Doctor has begun giving him vaccinations at a rate of two a week to make sure they don’t overwhelm his little system. The check up with the surgeon last week went well and it looks likes we won’t have to make another visit to the surgeon’s office…good news because it is in Dallas. Caleb is showing stage 2 ROP (Retinopathy of Prematurely) which takes us to the eye Doctor weekly but thankfully the Doctor says at least right now it is nothing to be overly concerned about. Thank you all for your prayers, support, meals, and gifts. We are truly blessed! Becky, Charles, and Caleb

Just found your gallery - what a touching tribute to a brave little fighter! God is good to His little children. May you have much joy for many years with your special son.

Baron Phillips		30-Oct-2006 19:36
My mom and I are so happy that Caleb is finally home! My mom is typing this for me and she's just not understanding what I want to say. I am going to call you instead. We both love you!

Aunt Leah		30-Oct-2006 19:13
WAHOOOO!!!! Hip Hip Horray!!!! Welcome home, Caleb! October 28 will forever be a special day in our family because it is the first day you came home from the hospital. Congratulations, it is even before your due date! Love, Aunt Leah, Uncle Mike, & Tommy

Guest		29-Oct-2006 23:04
I am so touched by this beautiful gallery about Caleb--congratulations on bring home your healthy son. I will continue to pray for his health and the abundant love and guidance you two will give him throughout his life. Bless each of you.

Charles Crawford		28-Oct-2006 21:52
Progress Report - October 28th: WE ARE HOME!!!! Yes, that is right Caleb is now at home with Mommy and Daddy. We came home today around 1:00pm at a weight of 6lb 3.6oz. Thank you Lord for protecting our son and bringing him home to us. We just can't believe we finally have him home. He is eating much better now but it is still a lot of work to get the whole 2oz in him at each feeding. The Dr. sent him home on a heart and breathing monitor so we will know he is safe at all times and we purchased a handheld portable video baby monitor so we can see him from any room in the house. I know I will sleep better knowing those safety precautions are in place. Thanks you all again for all of the prayers and for being there for us we are so blessed. Becky, Charles, and Caleb

Charles Crawford		27-Oct-2006 04:36
Progress Report - October 26th: Well much to our chagrine Caleb won't be coming home as quickly as we thought. On the 24th we roomed in at the hospital to learn all the specialized care and equipment Caleb will need at home. We expected to be leaving the next day. The next day came and Caleb just wasn't eating like he was supposed to. They had us stay one more night with no change. The Dr. decided that Caleb should return to the NICU for 72 hours watch to see if his eating improves. It was quite a letdown and very difficult for both of us to go home again without our son. We do believe, however, that it was the best thing for Caleb. We also believe that God is 100% in control and that He will see us and Caleb through this. Please continue to pray for Caleb specifically that he eats his whole 2 ounces at each feeding. Also pray for us to have patience and truly experience God's peace, mercy, and love. We really need it. Thanks friends and family. Charles, Becky, and Caleb.

Guest		24-Oct-2006 02:37
Dear Becky and Charles. Thank you for including me in this special time in your lives. Seeing Caleb through daily pictures and updates is like seeing him through your eyes. I can see the love and devotion to each other and Caleb. He is so very lucky to have such loving and caring parents. I am so proud of both of you. Love, Mom

Guest		24-Oct-2006 02:08
From Grandma Janet to my little bundle of joy. Leah came home from the hospital on the 24th of October 1965. (Boy, that's a long time ago)! Wouldn't it be nice if you were able to go home on the 24th? The next wonderful day to go home would be the 25th because it is my birthday and the birthday of your grandpa Ron. You being at home with your mommy and daddy would be a fantastic present for all of us!! WOO HOO! I love you. Grandma Janet

Charles Crawford		23-Oct-2006 04:10
Progress Report - October 22nd: Caleb is doing great post surgery. He's like a new kid. He has had no reflux and is breathing on his own with absolutely no assistance! He is God's little miracle child and a wonder to behold. He started taking a bottle on Saturday with every meal for ten minutes. That night, he finished all 2 ounces by himself with none in his feed tube! Sunday was a little slower, but he got his first introduction to breast feeding. Doctors and nurses agree that if he continues on this path, he will be home this week! Woo Hoo! Please pray for Caleb to continue on his path toward home. Charles and Becky.

Charles Crawford		18-Oct-2006 04:21
Progress Report - October 17th: Caleb's surgery went great today, praise God! We had to wait all day because the surgery was postponed. Caleb was already intubated at 8:30 a.m. and had to wait until 2:00 p.m. for surgery, poor kid. He is recovering well. The doctor said it would take a day or two for the valve to open up like it should. He is on an adjusted diet until then. He only has a one inch scar on his belly. Thank you for all your prayers. Please pray he recovers quickly and that the surgery fixes his reflux problem. Thanks. Charles and Becky.

Charles Crawford		17-Oct-2006 02:33
Progress Report - October 16th: Caleb was diagnosed with pyloric stenosis today. That means the valve from his stomach to his small intestine is too thick and not opening enough. This is what has caused his reflux. It comes on quickly which is why we had the sudden change and usually "attacks" at about six weeks of age. The positive diagnosis means Caleb is scheduled for surgery at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow, the 17th. We are happy he has been diagnosed and that there is a "fix." God is so good. The reflux surgery was much more invasive and had more chances of complications. I never thought I would be happy my kiddo would be having surgery but it will keep him from suffering so we're all for it. The recovery time is a day or so. We pray that means we can progress to feeding and go home! It looks good. He is rooting and sucking like crazy on his hands, thumbs, and pacifier. Please say a prayer for our little boy tomorrow and the hands of the surgeons operating on him. We thank God for a great outlook for our boy and for the diagnoses to be the lesser or the two surgeries. Charles and Becky

Guest		16-Oct-2006 19:36
Dear Charles and Becky, I just got on line today to check on Caleb only to discover about his reflux and possible surgery. I know he will do fine - he has gained weight so quickly and is such a little "fighter". More importantly, he has been lifted up in prayer by so many. He is so adorable! From just looking at the pictures, he sure reminds me of Charles as an infant (watch out Becky, you may have your hands full). I'm sorry I couldn't make the shower (helping give another one), but would like to send him a gift if you could e-mail your address when it's convenient. All My Love, Aunt Donna

Holder's		13-Oct-2006 20:34
Well Caleb, we have looked at these pictures of you since you were born but are just now posting a comment. What a handsome young man you are. We continue to pray for your continued growth and increasing health. You have 2 wonderful parents that love you dearly, and a large group of friends that can't wait to play w/ you as you get bigger. We love you and are proud of your parents for their faith in God and the strength they have shown over these few weeks. As your family and others have already shared... God has a plan for your life (Jer. 29:11) and we can't wait to see what that is !!!

Grandma Phyllis		13-Oct-2006 19:57
As I lift up not only Caleb in prayer, but also his mommy and daddy, I am reminded of the scripture in IICor. 4:6-9 that says, "For God who said,'Let light shine out of darkness, has shone in our hearts, in order to manifest and reveal the face of Jesus Christ.' However, we possess this treasure in earthen vessels, that the power may be shown to be in God and not in ourselves. We are hedged in on every side, but not crushed; we are perplexed but not in despair; we are pursued but not deserted; and we are struck down, but never destroyed. It has felt like a week where satan has gotten a victory, and perhaps we (especially the little family of Charles, Becky, and Caleb) have at times have said to God, "why?" However, our God is perhaps in His finest hour when He shows out for His own. He has not left us, but He has assured us in verse 14 of this same chapter that "Assured that He Who raised up the Lord Jesus will raise us up also with Jesus and bring us along with you into His presence." Our God has not left us, but He continues to strategically place His angels (that nurse) to do what we can not do. I close with the 17th verse of IICor.4 that says, "For our light, momentary affliction is producing for us an everlasting weight of glory, beyond all measure." To our God be all the praise for His steadying and healing Hand over Caleb, as well as an Abiding presence over Charles and Becky and their families. Love in our Lord Jesus Name, Mom and Grandma

Charles Crawford		13-Oct-2006 05:11
October 12th- A lot has happened this week. Caleb started refluxing with every feeding to the point he couldn't breathe. This went on for three days with little explanation to his frantic parents. On Wednesday, one nurse, got the ball rolling to find out what was going on and do it ASAP. We thank God she became the advocate that Caleb needed. She was a one woman show and pretty much made radiologists and lab techs get with the program and give Caleb the tests he needed to find the solution right then! They now believe Caleb has pyloric stenosis which is the thickening of the valve that lets food out of his stomach and into his intestines. The surgeon that was consulted wants to wait until Saturday for a second series of X-rays to confirm the diagnoses. If so, Caleb will have a surgery to correct the problem. Fortunately, this surgery is minor and he will recover quickly. He could still have reflux but the neonatologist really feels that this is what he has. He could also have both. Please lift him up in prayer this week and for some kind of conclusion. Until then, they have changed Caleb to a food pump that slowly give him food all day long in small amounts. This has really helped. He hasn't refluxed hardly at all since they switched to this method. God is so good and we know He is still in control. That has really been what held us together this week. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. Charles and Becky.

Charles Crawford		09-Oct-2006 00:46
Little Caleb now weighs 5 lbs. 4.6 oz! He is growing like a weed. He eats about an ounce and a half a feeding now. He is becoming a chunky little monkey! He is still struggling with his breathing, particularly after he eats and begins to reflux. Please pray that he grows out of this soon. They may try a bottle this week which is exciting, but with his breathing still being too fast, they don't know how it will go. It has been six weeks since he was born and mommy and daddy are beginning to feel the effects of our son's long term stay. Please pray for our strength and a positive attitude. We really need your prayers in this category. But mostly pray for Caleb. If he comes home soon, our problems are solved! Thanks to God for His blessings and protections showered down on Caleb! Thank all of you for your unrelenting support. Charles and Becky

Jordan Mullins		03-Oct-2006 19:13
Hey Charles & Becky, this is your long lost cousin Jordan Mullins.Caleb is a beautiful baby and you did very well.I hope everything is going well for you and hope to see you soon.E-mail me sometime at "jordancmullins@hotmail.com" -Jordan

Charles Crawford		29-Sep-2006 05:35
Little Caleb is now 4lbs 7.8oz wow is he growing fast. One of his doctors told me he could be the model for preemie weight gain. I just wish he was as good at breathing as he is at gaining weight but we all have to remember that Caleb isn’t even supposed to be here yet so any breathing he does is amazing. The good news is that today is Caleb’s first day on full time nasal cannula. If he does well that means no more CPAP which would be great!! Right now we are enjoying bath nights, dressing our boy, and bonding time. I can’t wait until he can be fed with a bottle and then learn to nurse. The more he learns the sooner he can come home. Thanks again for all of your support and prayers. Becky

Janet		28-Sep-2006 16:24
I am so glad that Charles and Becky live so close to a hospital with such wonderful facilites for premies and are able to share in the excellent care that Baby Caleb is receiving. I know everyone is anxious to hear that he is ready to go home. He is a lucky little guy to have such loving and caring parents. I am blessed to be able to share in the joy of seeing him grow. Love, hugs and continued prayers to all of you from Grandma Janet

Guest		26-Sep-2006 07:22
I love the strength and warmth that just jumps out of this gallery. Makes me recall the gush of emotions when my boys were born, especially the elation, anxiety and worry all rolled into one!! May Caleb grow up to be a strong, lionhearted and a source of endless inspiration to you, your wife and your family. Take care, and I wish you all the best. Cheers!

Dr. J. F. Cox Jr.		25-Sep-2006 19:18
Hi to Charles, Becky and little Caleb from Mama and Papa! We are really anxious to get our hands on that baby. We remember that he's already been in Papa's swimming pool when Becky went swimming when you were here last time. Hope we can get to see you soon up in Tyler at our new home or at the cabin. You are in our prayers daily. All Our Love, Mama and Papa

Donna Mullins		25-Sep-2006 19:04
What wonderful and blessed news to hear of Caleb's progress! I have so enjoyed seeing all the pictures of Caleb. Thank you for doing this for all the family and friends who are unable to be there. You can really see the changes he has made. What an adorable little guy. He is also mighty lucky to have an exceptional photographer as his dad, too. We never forget him in our prayers and are so glad he is doing so well. Hope it won't be too long 'till we see you. Mama & Papa, too, are so excited and anxious to see him. They'll be up in Tyler by October 7th. All My Love, Donna

Charles Crawford		25-Sep-2006 04:12
Progress Report September 24, 2006: We had to update that Caleb weighed in at 4 lbs. 0.2 oz tonight! Woo Hoo! Praise God our little boy is growing so fast! We had to share this little update with everybody.

Charles Crawford		24-Sep-2006 23:58
Progress Report September 24, 2006: Caleb has made huge gains since the last report. He now weighs 3 lbs. 13 oz. He actually has probably exceeded that today but that is his weight on Saturday. He graduated to an open crib today. We are so thrilled! The nurse called us and had us bring some clothes to help him stay warm while he adjusts to room temperature. That was a lot of fun! He is also doing six hours on nasal cannula and six hours on CPAP. Nasal cannula allows him to do everything (breathing wise) himself with a little extra oxygen. It also gets that ugly thing off his nose for six hours! He seems real happy about that. So far he has tolerated the cannula great. No heart rate dips that he hasn't recovered from on his own. Keep praying for lung development though. Bottle feeding is rapidly approaching followed by breast feeding so please pray for him to accept it and not to choke (which many preemies do). Thanks for all you prayers. They are working! God has done amazing things with our little warrior. Charles

Grandma Phyllis		17-Sep-2006 20:44
My dearest little grandson, you are in my heart and prayers everyday. I am constantly reminded of Psalm 139: "For you did form my inward parts; You did knit me together in my mother's womb. I will confess and praise You for You are fearful and wonderful and for the wonder of my birth! Wonderful are Your works, and that my inner self knows right well." To our God be all the praise for the gift that you are to our family. I am in awe of the love I already have for you. You have special parents who love you passionately. How absolutely blessed you are!! AND, we feel the same way about just how blessed we are to have you as a priceless son and grandson. Love to you from your grandma Phyllis! To God be all the praise!

Charles Crawford		15-Sep-2006 04:13
Progress Report September 14, 2006: Last night Caleb had his first real tub bath and I got to help!! Daddy was there taking pictures. I am really starting to feel more like a mommy now that we are getting to hold him more often. Caleb is still not ready to come off of his CPAP machine and breath on his own but he is doing better and all of the x-rays of his lungs look good. He is down to just two breathing treatments each day and during his bath he does well breathing on his own. He is now eating about an ounce of milk at each feeding and tolerating it very well this time. They are adding more calories to the milk to help him gain weight and it seems to be working last night he weighted 3lb 2.2oz!! Thanks again to all of you for your support and prayers. Please continue to pray for baby Caleb. Becky

Donna Mullins		11-Sep-2006 19:34
Dear Becky and Charles, Talked to Grandma Phyllis yesterday to get the update on Caleb and congratulate her. She is sooo proud and I'm so happy for her. I am so glad to have gotten the website and really enjoyed seeing the pictures of Caleb. Aunt Donna loves this new great-nephew and I wanted you to know that he is always in Bill's and my prayers. We are so happy for you two and Becky, I'm so glad your'e doing well, too. We will look forward to news of his progress. He is a beautiful baby boy and his name, with its meaning, is so perfect for him. All My Love, Donna

Charles Crawford		11-Sep-2006 14:45
Progress Report September 11, 2006: This weekend Caleb had his first set back. On Friday a test of his stool showed some microscopic traces of blood. The doctor decided to withhold food for a few days and treat him with some antibiotics just to be cautious. By Sunday afternoon, the traces of blood were still showing in the test but had decreased. Caleb’s white blood count had also been elevated over the weekend but was back down after the antibiotics. On Sunday afternoon, because his test results had improved he was able to have a little milk again. Knowing he was not being fed was very hard for me as no mommy wants their little one to go hungry. We are pleased that he is able to have milk again and we ask for prayers that he tolerate his feeds. He also has developed a little infection in his eye. He started eye drops this morning to clear that infection. On a lighter note Caleb is the only Boy in his Pod (room) with three little girl babies and the nurses call him the playboy isn’t that cute? Thank you all for thoughts and prayers. Please pray specifically that Caleb stays healthy, continues to tolerate his feedings, and that his lungs grow and mature. Thanks Becky

Kim Lemaux		09-Sep-2006 16:08
What a beautiful gift from God you've been given! Thank-you for sharing Caleb and his pictures and progress updates with us. He is just the most beautiful and handsome little boy in the whole world. The instant, intense and unconditional love we have for our children is truly amazing...a little glimpse of our Father's love for us. You are awesome parents and Caleb is very blessed to have you for his Mom and Dad. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Caleb, and we are here for you if you need anything at all. We can't wait to meet him and hold him one day very soon. Love, Kim, Ethan and Amelia

Guest		07-Sep-2006 18:06
We have been corresponding daily by email but wanted you guys to know how much we love you and Caleb. We are so excited for you and know that this child was a blessing from God as he was conceived and what a story he has to share with the world. You guys are awesome parents and we can;t wait to share in those moments with you. Caleb has lots of family but just as you guys have been awesome to my son, Aunt Sheryl and Uncle Todd want to do the same for you. We love you all. The Watkins Family

Charles Crawford		06-Sep-2006 19:50
Progress Report: September 5th...11 days old…Caleb is back on CPAP today he did well while he was off but due to his age and size he tires quickly. It was a nice break for him from CPAP which he doesn't seem to like but now he can rest easier. The doctors say he may go on and off CPAP for a while before he is off for good. We are told this is not a set back just a resting period. We have now both had a turn to hold him. It is amazing how special it is the first time you hold your child. We both are completely in love with our son. He has worked his way up to his maximum feeding schedule which is 12cc an hours for three hours and then one hour off to rest. He is tolerating my milk very well. Today they began adding a breast milk fortifier to his feedings. This fortifier will add a few calories and some extra calcium to each meal. Several of you have asked about his current weight. Caleb was weighted this weekend and he weighs 2lb 13oz so he has lost very little from his birth weight of 2lb 15.6oz. Thanks again to everyone who has left comments they mean so much to both of us. Please continue to pray for our little boy as he grows. Becky Crawford 9-5-06

Progress Report: As of August 30th, Caleb is doing great! He started on his mommy's milk today through a feeding tube and is doing well. There is no sign of the infection he had at birth and He is breathing more and more on his own. Praise God! He is a strong little boy and all the hospital staff comment on how well he is doing. Please keep him in your prayers and thanks for all the great comments. They mean so much to us. We'll continue to update and add pictures. Charles and Becky

He is so precious. We will pray everyday that he comes home soon. Becky - I went into labor on my birthday this year and Mady came the next day, only two weeks early though. I guess they want all the attention. Get ready for the joy, it has just begun. Jenefer, Jason, Brooklynn & Madalynn Rompf

"And I know the plans I have for you...." Isn't the Lord awesome? How much He has given and so much more He will give to little Caleb and to both of you. May you depend solely on His strength, His wisdom, His comfort. Caleb is truly beautiful. God bless and thank you for sharing. Love you guys, Uncle Jim and Aunt Carolyn

Robin Moreland He is beautiful! Scott and I are so happy for you. Psalm 40:5 " O, Lord my God, You have done many miracles for us. Your plans for us are too numerous to list. If I tried to recite all your wonderful deeds, I would never come to the end of them." We are thanking God his plan included adding Caleb to your family. Enjoy him!

Like any true Crawford baby, that kid's got hair!! Even though premature!! Proves that we Crawford's develop hair before anything else, then a brain, and then good looks! Actually, that part is a genetic miracle. Way to go Charles and Becky. Can't wait to spoil the little guy! All our love to you, and thanks to God that all is well. We love you guys!--Uncle Don

Charles and Becky, I am so happy for you both. And I am so thankful to God that he blessed you both with a happy and healthy little boy. The pictures are great. I really didn't expect to find any when I clicked on the website. I will continue to pray for all of you but especially for Caleb's continued good health. Please let Don and I know if we can help in anyway. May the Lord bless and keep you all. Love always, Don and Rhonda
