Gabe had a good night. The nurses convinced us that we wouldn't be bad parents if we went home and got some sleep. They reminded us that we will need our strength when he gets more active. We went home for a few hours. We were here in the morning for the doctors' rounds. They all said that he looks good. He gave him another echo cardiogram and chest xray and so far, everything is looking as it should. They have been keeping Gabe very comfortable and he has been sleeping most of the time. He will periodically wake up and look around and drift back off. He got his breathing tube out around 11:15 today and now he can have something of a cry. He is adjusting very well to breathing on his own with a new supply of blood to his lungs.
We have spent the day up here, however, Brian and I decided to take shifts for a bit. He went home to rest and he will relieve me in a couple hours. He has to get rested up because he comes back to work tomorrow night.
We did meet another little girl on the unit who was adopted from China and she is a cardiac patient here. She is three and as cute as a bug. Coincidentally, she lives very close to us, so she and Gabe will go to school together.
The doctor actually just walked in and gave us another good report. Things are really falling into place. Not much else to report right now. I will post more tomorrow.
Brian, Ang, and Gabe

I am so very happy that Gabe and his new parents are doing well. God really picked the best parents he could for little Gabe. Please know you are all in my prayers. Give that little cutie a kiss on the cheek and don't worry he has many, many angels watching over him and both of you.

So happy to hear about Gabe's great reports! Bailey and Jindi and I sat down and prayed for you this morning. I showed Jindi your picture so she knew who we were praying for. She can say Amen at the end now. Thinking of you!

I so admire you and Brian for your faith and determination. Gabe is so blessed to have you and vice-versa of course. Be sure to take of yourselves and let others help when they offer. Still praying for all of you and the medical staff.
