Just a Note

Healed for Eternity

 In our prior posts, you may have read about Gavin's roommate, Leah Anne.  She was perfectly healed and called to heaven, Sunday October 11th, just 3 days after we visited her and her mother at U of M.  She spent more than half of her life in the hospital.  Her parents gave her life when doctors wanted to end it before she was even born.  God knew Shane and Deb would give her life, maybe other wouldn't have. We are so saddened by the loss of her and for the hurt that her parents, siblings, Aunt Melba and family are going through. Shane, Deb, Hanna, Troy and Aunt Melba are in our thoughts and prayers constantly and will always be in our hearts.

Hello Fall!

Can you believe that Gavin will be 6 months on the 29th? Everyone tells us, it goes by fast and I would have to agree. 

"It's been a while" Lot's to Update

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while, when there's nothing remarkable happening, posting doesn't enter my mind. Gavin has been doing remarkably

His last pediatrician appointment 2 weeks ago, he weighted in at 13.3 lbs.

"Heart Buddies" = Friends for Life

You can imagine that Justin and I have met some amazing people during our stay at U of M. We've kept in contact with several families we became friends with during our stay.

Home Again

Gavin was discharged Saturday after spending 4 days at U of M.  He was hooked up to an EEG machine for 36 hrs and the neurologists found no signs of abnormalities. His MRI was also normal.  The Echo he had scheduled was done following the MRI, under the same sedation and that too was fine. 

We were given 3 options from the neurologist.  

Keeping us on our Toes

Ambulance ride to U of M

August 18th, Gavin just wanted to make sure we are still paying attention to details and Oh boy are we!
