update

Gabriel pulled his feeding tube out while I was at work on Monday. I love Gabe very much but he is not comfortable putting a new tube down. He will do it if he HAS to but if he can find a way to avoid it he will. Instead of putting a new tube down he decided to try to get Gabriel to eat Portagen again. Sure enough out little man sucked it down. WEIRDO! I have not had to put a tube down. He is eating all 120 ml every 4 hours. He is taking his medication and everything by mouth!

Back to work

Well, I went back to work today. I would have lost our insurance if I did not head back today. It was very hard to be away from my little man for so long. I missed a my students. Most of all I missed the staff! They are amazing. I had no idea that so many of my co-workers were following Gabriel's surgery. It was nice to not have to recount what all has gone on. Many people were praying for Gabriel's successful surgery, many more than I even knew about! Makes me come to tears just thinking about it.
To everyone who reads this blog, you may not comment, I don't know who all of you are, and I may not even know you personally, but THANK YOU! Thank you for caring about my little family. They mean the world to me and it is nice to know that we mean something to so many people that they will take time out of their busy days to check on my son and to pray for his successful surgery!

Help is on the way!

Gabe's parents have been helping by watching Gabriel for a few hours here and there. My mother came up to help with the feedings in the middle of the night when I need sleep and mid-day when Gabe needs sleep. It is still going to be a long week but having everyone's help will be amazing!
Gabriel is healing so well! Here are a few pictures of our little man
