PLEASE PRAY!

*update* 5:00 PM Friday
We haven't heard that much about Caleb's condition in the last couple days...they will be working on him as long as he appears to be responding. At this point he still hasn't been aware of anything that is going on, but in the next week there will probably be several updates as they work on seeing how his breathing, etc. will go. His bone marrow is severely burned in his foot, and because of that they most likely will have to amputate his foot. Continue praying and I'll give updates as I have them.

*update* 2:00 PM Wednesday
Caleb is still in critical condition, but doctors will continue surgeries as long as he appears to be responding. They are more hopeful then at any other time in the previous couple days, because his condition has not gotten worse. Still keep praying, there is a very, very hard and long road ahead regardless of the outcome.

*update* 10:00 PM Monday
Caleb was life-flighted to Vanderbilt Medical Center because there are several burn specialists and specialized doctors working on staff there. He received surgery this morning upon his arrival and is scheduled two more surgeries this week. Obviously this is a huge amount of strain on his body to be put on top of what is already happening, tonight is expected to be the hardest night so far. PLEASE keep praying!! Tell people who don't even know him....We held a prayer service at LEE tonight and God is really hearing our cries!

PLEASE join me and many others in praying for my friend, Caleb Baber, a sophomore at Lee University who was in an accident in which he got electrocuted and broke his arm, several ribs and had many 2nd and 3rd degree burns. His family flew in from Nebraska to TN on Saturday night as soon as they heard of the accident. Please be praying for his family, all of his friends who are scared/sad/etc. and for him for complete healing and a quick recovery. He is in critical condition.
