We\u2019re hoping this is just a minor cold that we can fight off over the next few days. But we know, too, that Callie is very weak and vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p>Today is her birthday. Over the past four years Callie has taught us how to adapt our plans to what\u2019s really important, and that\u2019s what we\u2019ll do today. Instead of going to school we\u2019ll see about dropping by just for cupcakes. We will enjoy take out if Callie is too tired to go out.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll have a good day, but we\u2019re also worried. So we ask those who are inclined to send up a prayer for our birthday girl.<\/p>\n<p>Happy birthday, Callie!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today is Callie\u2019s fourth birthday.
