I know it was awesome!

Great-Grandma, Great-Aunt Billi, Grandpa, Papa and Grandma all came to visit us because we are so special.
IMG_1765
Um, I think they actually came to visit mom, like everyone else lately.
Photobucket
Maybe we should tell mom that they were here to visit her?
IMG_1763
Ya, she said she was hurting, she was sure unfriendly today!
Photobucket
Grandpa didn't seem to mind.

Mom's notes - Boy did the Things ever look amazing in their pictures tonight. I had a hard time picking the out, there were too many absolutely adorable pictures. As you have noticed though the last two weeks, we have had amazing help taking care of the kids. Family and Friends have been constant sources of support. My side of the family has come over from Lansing (2 hours away) and Gabe's family is constantly checking on us from five minutes away. Papa came over again tonight to help allow the things to play outside and have some fun. Thank you everyone for all of your help, it means the world to us!!

Lots of appointments

On my way to the first appointment of the day.
On the road in new car seat... looking good!
Infectious Disease can be found in the dark!
IMG_1548
What's wrong with the dark?
IMG_1549
That was an interesting appointment. The guy talked a lot, all I heard was blood results. EW!
2012-03-27_15-28-07_999
Well it's going to be a minute before my next appointment and they aren't taking blood until after that so I better get my beauty sleep in.
One appointment down nap time for gabriel and mama before next appointment.
Do I look prettier now?
photobucket-18527-1332887992061
Um, I think I will skip the allergy appointment mom!
Photobucket
Okay, I am done!
IMG_1557
Finally done!
IMG_1551
Wow, I think I will rest now. That did not feel so good!
photobucket-18528-1332870659903
Now off to give blood.
2012-03-27_14-40-29_53
Finally on our way home, what a day!
Finally on our way home! Infectious disease...check, allergy testing...check, blood (lots of blood) draw.... check... results to come in blog tonight :-) yes you can wait!
Awe, Sis even made me a present on mom's computer screen. Now that is love!
Photobucket
Mom's notes:
Why yes, Isabella did draw all over my computer screen, and the table, and the floor, and the wall, and Gabriel, and her. Boy, what a great present!
We had a great day of appointments today. Great as in a lot and great as in good.
Infectious disease - It does not appear that Gabriel has a compromised immune system. It looks more like he has a combination of things going on that have to do with Gabriel's anatomy. He did have a lot of blood drawn to make sure Gabriel's immune system is working properly and that there is not any hidden issues. They will call with blood work results in about a week. Revisit in four months.
Allergy - Allergy testing stinks! Gabriel handled it like a champ. Gabriel is not allergic to any foods or any environmental factors that were tested. Gabriel is NOT allergic to CATS, bonus! (Yup, that was my fear.) Again this points to Gabriel's issues point to his anatomy. We learned several tricks to help Gabriel's cheeks. I am looking forward to trying them because his cheeks are again really red and raw. Revisit with Allergy at age 5.
Blood draw - Went very well with no tears. Gabriel has become a champ at blood draws! He blows on the needle to try to ease the pain but doesn't move, cry or whimper. He tells everyone that it is 'ouch' but doesn't do anything about it. Yup my little man is stronger than most adults!
Over all - I know we did not get any real answers about Gabriel's sinus's but we did get many answers about other things. So overall I have to call today a GREAT day. I am excited to know that Gabriel does not have any allergies that were tested. If we find that he is having issues with anything else we are more than welcome to take him in for more testing.
