Caleb spent three days at an aquatic camp at the Adare Camp and Conference Centre in Victor Harbour, South Australia. He had a great time and I (his dad) was able to go with him to help monitor his health issues related to his cecostomy tube and help with the activities.
Here is his report of his time there …
And here are some of the photos that we said would be in this post …
How to do “The Wobble” a procedure writing.
“The Wobble”
Materials: Body
Steps:
Step 1: Jump forward and swing your arms back and fourth 4 times, then jump back and do it again
Step 2: Then face right without moving your feet and roll your arms around each other for 4 seconds. Then do it again but turn left this time.
Step 3: Then put your right foot out then bring it in and walk on the spot for 2 seconds. Repeat this step but start with your left foot.
Step 4: Then slide left for 8 seconds. Then you should be facing straight ahead. Then repeat the steps 4 times. But on the last one don’t slide left. Then you’ve done the wobble!
They say that a picture is worth a thousand words and this image I think shows more about how Caleb was feeling this weekend than he could put into words…
Caleb is scheduled to go in and have his cecostomy tube replaced on Wednesday. Because of the nature of the tube it has to be replaced once a year.
Unlike the initial surgery the replacement of his cecostomy tube is only a day surgery. They snip off the current button, push the remainder of the tube into his bowel, and then insert the new tube into the existing hole. We have been told that the actual hands on time for the surgeon is less than 10-minutes.
Caleb is feeling quite nervous about the upcoming operation on Wednesday and said this at one of our recent appointments at the Alberta Children’s Hospital:
He would appreciate your prayer for Wednesday.
If you are unsure of what Caleb had done, and what the cecostomy tube is, then check out Caleb’s story about when he first got the cecostomy tube put in.
I love Lego. I have a lot of Lego sets. It’s really fun to play with. For Christmas I got two Creator sets, a Street Corner, and a farm set. I almost made all of them that day. It’s really fun to build it, then I play with it. Sometimes I make my own creations which I think are really cool.
I got the idea for the sea serpent and the scuba diver submarine from the Atlantis series in a Lego sticker book. I made the creation using a creator set.
One day I went on a field trip with my dad to Kananaskis Country. It took has a long time to get there. On the way there I saw a lot of wild life, some even said they saw a bear. Some of the wild life I saw was Deer, a Beaver Dam , and maybe a Bear.
When we got there I needed to go to the Dunny (outhouse).
We got introduced to are guide. It was really windy when we started to hike. I spotted a lot of things, I even found a birds nest. We hiked for a long time. She even showed us a mountain called mount Yumnuska.
After we walked up a big dirt road to a mind. When we got up the road she said to get a rock as big as your hand. Then she let us throw it into a little pond. Then we went into long wavy grass. Swissssshhhhhy, Swassssshhhhhy, Swissssshhhhhy, Swassssshhhhhy!When we got out we did an experiment with clay.
After we walked a bit, we found a little stoned shed that was used for mine equipment. Then we walked on a hilly path that had trees sticky out from every direction. Then we passed the other group. After we had some yummy lunch we played some games. We even threw rocks on the ice. My dad use to camp there and they even went around Mount Yumnuska. Then we went down a path that had no leaves on the trees.
After a while, we ended at the same spot were I found the bird nest. We saw the other group heading for the bus and we raced them and we were first. Then we sat in our seats and headed back to school. The bus ride felt longer then it did before. When we got to school it was time to go home.
Now that was the field trip to Mount Yumnuska.
The End!
One day Pip the Pig went to his friends house. His name was called Fred the Bear. Fred went biking to school, while Pip tried to find the princess Tamara in a mushroom garden.
Princess Tamara found a mushroom that said, “I will give you one wish that will come true.”.
She asked Pip, “Can you help me make a wish?”.
Pip said “Yes.”. Pip came up with a cake.
The princess said “Yes.”.
So they wished for a cake and they ate the yummiest cake ever.
And that is how Pip saved the day…

One day me, my Dad and my sister went for a bike ride to my school. It took 52 KM there and back! It felt like it was as long as the whole city! It took the whole day.
First we started at our house, then we went to Fish Creek Park where I threw up. I was kind of scared at Fish Creek Park because we went gravel. I slipped a couple of times but I didn’t fall or hurt myself.
We needed to go up hills and down. When we got to the top of a hill, I felt sick holding Dad’s bike.
We went to the washroom’s, and then the biking continued. After we got to the top of a hill, we stopped at a bench to have a drink of water. After we had a drink, then we started again. I felt really excited to get to my school.
The next park was Glenmore Park, it felt like the longest park. When we got out of the park, we rode on the road to my school. Then we went over a big bridge. When we got across, I tripped on a bump and fell down and hurt myself. So we went to 7-Eleven to buy band aids.
Then we finally reached my school.
We had lunch and played on the playground at the school. After we started to head home.
When we got home I was sweating like a big fat pig. I had a nice clean shower and I smelt a lot better.
Then it was dinner time, it was a delicious. Then I went to bed. I fell asleep really fast.
The End…
