6 months today...



I absolutely cannot believe Gabi is 6 months old today. It seems like only yesterday I saw her beautiful face for the first time. It does seems like 6 months ago that I got to hold her though...but I am not gonna go there today. Today is a new day and we are off to a good start. She is off of the Bumex drip, and is now starting Lasix three times a day. And they are coming down on the Dopamine, which means her heart is doing more of the work. She is getting stronger everyday. The medication has been amazing in getting her to where she is now, but the less she is on the stronger she actually gets.

I am sad to see Gabi spend her 6 month birthday in the hospital, but she is getting well and that is the important thing. She is a fighter, with strength we could all only wish for. She has taught Jason and I more in 6 months than most do in a lifetime. She is the reason we have remained as strong as we have. Granted we do have our weak moments, but she is what gets us through those times. Gabi thank you so much for being our angel and guiding us in the right direction and providing us with strength beyond what we could imagine. We love you baby girl...now hurry up and get better so we can hold you, and love you, and squeeze you, and call you Georgialina...hehehe...our little joke!

She is 6 months old and on the way to recovery with a whole heart - not something you could say a month ago - which makes it a day to celebrate!! THANK YOU, JESUS!!God knows this is hard on you, but if you WEREN'T taking care of yourself by going home and getting out, it would ultimately take a toll on Gabi because we know that she relies on and responds to your emotional state. So not only should you not feel guilty for taking care of yourself - it is your responsibility to her so that you can be as strong as possible for her. Your strength is what she needs right now and always. And you SHOULD be emotional - I personally would be more worried if you weren't. You are doing an outstanding job of being supportive to her and it's okay if you aren't strong all of the time. If it makes you feel better the rest of us can give you a harder time so you can lay off yourself ;)

Love, Aunt GiGi
