Today my son Caylon turned 24. It was 24 years ago that we added another son to our family and it was 24 years ago we learned that he had Strep B, a blood infection. They took him away from the delivery room before I could even see him. His breathing was not right. They started antibiotics immediately, even before the culture would come back in 48 hours. We were warned that this could be very serious; another baby, six months earlier, had died. After 10 extra days in the hospital and 3 more days of treatment at home with a home nurse service, he was fine. He was born at 6 lbs 14.5 oz and even with the infection never lost any weight. He started to thrive then and has been doing it now for 24 years. We love this son. He marches to the beat of his own drum..always has and probably always will but he is a great man. He married last year and we are so glad to have Vanessa now in our family too. We knew then that this son of our was here for a purpose and we are blessed to be his parents.
