Pictures-Last Day

This was our last day at the "hotel".....Gabe waiting very patiently to go home with his healthy "gluten free" cookies. Poor kid can taste the difference and wants nothing to do with them. I'm hoping this diet won't last much longer. We are supposed to add things slowly back into his life.....*sigh* How do you do slow with a 2 1/2 year old boy that loves his crackers and pretzels?!?!?!!?

Our wall decor in hopes of making it more homey.

Thankfully his first night home was good sleep, just like the last couple nights at the hotel.
Except, I won't be weighing him and doing his vitals in the middle of the night ;)

Last night at home, a little bit of attitude started peaking thru....I was sooooo happy to see it!

And here we are resting.....trying to push the fluids and get fat back on his bones ;)
He's still very weak and listless at times, but more burst of energy come from time to time.
He has pooped 3 big ones today!!! Hallelujah! I never thought I'd be singing "Oh Happy Day"
while changing his diapers....but I was this morning! He had gone a whole week without doing
his stinky duties. He's eating alot of baby food which is a good thing.
Thank you again for all your thoughts, prayers, phone calls, cards, emails, hugs, food, gifts....
We are so blessed to have all of you in our lives. May God bless you abundantly in return!

That first picture of the hospital couch...again brings back memories. I'm so glad that you are back home. It feels sort of surreal doesn't it? We're still praying for Mr. Gabe. Take care!
