“So it’s day 2 after falling off a cliff, 80 foot cliff,” Caleb went on. “For the past two days all of the doctors thought that my spine or neck was broken and I just got out of another MRI and it turns out, somehow, miraculously that it’s not broken, just irritation. And I personally can not make up an explanation for that other than thank you, Jesus.

“So thank you so much God and I just want everybody to know that anybody that is supporting me, I really appreciate you guys and I’m doing my best to get better.”

Caleb only moved to Hawaii in May.

Since the relocation, Caleb changed his page’s bio to read: “Living life to the fullest in Hawaii.”
