Thanks to everyone for all the birthday and get-well wishes for Callie.
She had a fun birthday on Tuesday, but since then she has been feeling worse.

When Callie gets sick, she’s a lot weaker and more prone to aspiration, which is when food, drink or secretions go into the lungs instead of the stomach. It’s possible that Callie aspirated Wednesday because by that evening she had gotten really sick with fever and cough.
Today, her doctor added a stronger antibiotic, steroids and breathing treatments.
We hope this new mix of medicine, along with fluids through her G-tube, will be what Callie needs to shake off this sickness. In the meantime, she is resting at home.
We will post another update in a few days.
