The doctor assured his parents that surgery on Caleb&#8217;s foot and leg is absolutely necessary for their son to be able to walk and to run. Although wary of putting their sweet child through medical procedures, Caleb&#8217;s parents, Karen and John, couldn\u2019t deny their son\u2019s request for a new foot.<\/p>\n<p>Caleb\u2019s surgery is scheduled for May 30. Please pray for a successful surgery and recovery. And pray that this sweet little boy\u2014who turns eight in June\u2014will be walking and running with his friends at this time next year. <\/p>\n<p><i>God bless and please share.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">Copyright \u00a9 2017 Helen R.
