back to school
I went back to work today. I missed my little man. I am worried about this year. There were many surprises when I got back to work and most of them not good. I am hoping that my worries are unfounded!

Back from Lansing
Gabriel and I went to Lansing this weekend. My little brother and his girlfriend flew in Friday night. It is SO good to see him.
Saturday I happened to call one of my best friends who lives in Lansing to see what she was up to only to find out that another best friend happened to be in town! How exciting. Gabriel and I spent most of the day Saturday with them.
Today was Party day! We had a special dinner with Grandma, Aunt Billi, Mom, Dad, Nick (my brother), Cindy (his girlfriend), Brett (my sister), Gabriel and I. Aunt Billi picked up some ice cream cake for us to have. She got Gabriel special Banana ice cream cupcakes. As you will see from the pictures he LOVED them!
We all missed Gabe but he had to work on Saturday and was not up to making the long car ride for a night.
My parents have a little pond in their front yard. Gabriel LOVES to watch the fish and splash in it.
YUMMY birthday banana ice cream cupcake!

Meeting
We had out IEP (Individualized Education Plan) meeting for Gabriel today. I am sure that it is not called an IEP when the child is not in school but whatever, I am tired tonight. The meeting went very well. Gabriel does not show enough of a deficit right now to have a plan for anything other than OHI (Otherwise Health Impaired). They are able to put him under this because of his heart surgery, eating issues and other health things.
Gabriel will be receiving PT (Physical Therapy)and OT (Occupational Therapy) each once a week. We still are taking Gabriel to ST (Speech Therapy) in Holland. He will get ST here at the house once he starts to talk. ST in Holland is working with his feeding as well.
I was very happy with the plan. I am excited that he will have therapy at the house twice a week. The more help he can get early on the better chances he will have! With being back at school I worry about his progress. I know Gabe works with him very hard but I still worry. Knowing he has the extra help makes me feel better.
