Please pray for baby Kaleb. He is 6 months and 9 days old. A couple weeks ago Kristy picked Kaleb up from home care and noticed something was wrong. She immediately took him to the hospital where he was diagnosed with Shaken Baby Syndrome. He now has meningitis in response the the surgeries on his brain, his body can't regulate his temperature, his heart rate drops every time he is moved, and he has seizures. He is also blind. His sitter shook him so hard that he is in a coma, had to have spinal fluid drained from his brain, and doctors think that if he lives he will be a vegetable for the rest of his life. Brain scans show that his brain tissue is dying and his brain is shrinking. Kristy and her husband refuse this diagnosis and pray for their little boy. I'm asking you to join them in this prayer for Kaleb. www.myspace.com/kristyreynolds Please go see baby Kaleb at this site!SBS is a real thing, that is happening every year. If you have younger children and a new baby teach them how to handle the baby. I also believe that they are selling pray for baby Kaleb bracelets for $5, to go to the cause. God can work miracles, we just have to pray, and ask him to give us one.

The little guy has been in the hospital since May 9th. I been keeping track of the whole story and praying, plus passing the word on to others. It's amazing how many people are helping this family! I have a feeling the Kaleb will be okay, I'm pray so hard he will get through this! Soon this story will be all over myLot, just like it is at myspace! I even wrote a discussion on little Kaleb. I also found a few others on here that wrote about little Kaleb. Thanks for passing the word on!

NP, the more people know about him, the more that will pray, and so on. I am sure this little boy will wake up with a wonderful miracle soon!

All my prayers for baby Kaleb. May he survive this illness. I'm quite far so it's kind of impossible for me to buy a bracelet i'll just include in my prayers i hope they could sell thousands for Kaleb. May it be in GOD's will that baby Kaleb survive and grow as normal kid.

Normal being the main hope. As of now he will probably survive, but with prayer hopefully he will survive, and not be in a vegetative state.

I have been following Kristy's story and I hope that Kaleb has a full recovery. They are a very inspiring family and believe that God will bring them through this. God Bless Kaleb!

i have been folowing this story through myspace, Kalebs mommy is on my friends list. It is a very touching story and to know the 100's of thousands of people out there that this little boy has brought together in prayer. I am making a quilt patch for the quilt that a lady is making, she also has a site on myspace everyone is sending her patches and she is quilting them into a prayer quilt for Kaleb. I hope that he continues to do well and get better. He is a strong little boy and has so many people praying for him.
