Things are so much better now that we are home. Gabe is sleeping much better at this point, almost back to his normal schedule. The eating is a little slower, but we saw quite a bit of progress today. It is tough to see a kid who was such a GREAT eater be so picky, but we will get back to where we were.
We spent the morning at the hospital today getting yet another chest xray, labs, and seeing the surgeon. Everything looks good and we go back in 2 weeks. We will also see the cardiologist on the same day. It looks like if things continue to progress as they are, we will be having the next surgery in 2-3 months. This one should be about the same length of around 9 hours, and we will likely be in the hospital about the same amount of time. I think going into it and knowing what to expect this next time will make it a little easier.
The PICU (the unit where he stayed after his surgery) drew his blood today and it was nice to see familiar faces. Everyone was happy to see Gabe passing through and they all commented on how healthy he looked. They made the process much easier for Gabe and me. The PICU has been amazing through this whole thing. I am so grateful for the wonderful care and compassion they have shown us.
Everything else is going great. We will continue to post as Gabe progresses and as we approach the next surgery.
Brian, Ang, and Gabe

Glad to her things are starting to get back "normal". We will keep praying for little Gabe to continue to progess and have a second successful surgery. You two are wonderful parents and Gabe is such a lucky boy.
