6 months old

Things around here have been calm. Grandma sat with Gabriel for his 6 month birthday. She bought him a monkey and a balloon. Mommy and daddy went home and got some things done including getting a little shut-eye.

This morning Gabriel had a x-ray. No more pnumo! The chylis has stopped coming out of his chest tube. He has been off suction for 24 hours. They are waiting until tomorrow to take the tube out because they do NOT want to have to put another one back in. We are hoping that this time they can get it out with out getting air in. We will see.

Gabriel will have another x-ray monday or Tuesday to make sure there isnt any problems brewing in his lungs. His echo is Monday. We are crossing our fingers. Gabe and I are refreshed and optomistic. Gabriel is bound to have some good luck here about now.

I picked up Gabriel's 6 month pictures. HOW CUTE!! We have one of his Michigan State pictures hanging up on his bed for all of the U of M staff:). We have know most of the staff on this floor by name at this point so we figured they wouldn't treat Gabriel any worse if they knew his mother and her side of the family are HUGE state fans:)

Thank you all for your well wishes.
