HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY DADDY!!!

Well today is a very big day, it is Daddy's big 3-0. Kind of hard to celebrate the way we should, but he can't complain to much considering the circumstances. The girls got daddy Nike outfits, imagine that! Gracie was so excited about the outfits she gave them to him on Saturday night. She told me, Micah I just can't wait I have to give them to daddy...it was really cute!!

And for Miss Gabbers she had an eventful day as well. Her catheter is out and she is still doing well peeing...yipee! No decrease in her sedation today, she had a few withdraws so we are just staying at the same level as yesterday. When we got here today Gabi was so excited her heart rate hit the roof...Daddy seems to have that effect on her, but now she is sleeping. She looks just like a little angel, aw who am I kidding she is a little angel.

I would like to tell you about another family that we have become friends with, The Gudde's. Little Isabella is 7 months old. She has had numerous problems since she was born, including a trek. She spent 98 days in the PICU, well last week she got to go home. It was such a wonderful day for her parents, not to mention for her too! It was bitter sweet for the nurses, always good but sad to see such an amazing little one go home. At 3am this morning she had to be life flighted back to Childrens Mercy, they live like 3 hours away. She is septic, which means she is full of infection. They are not sure what caused this, but she is not doing so well. Could you please add baby Isabella to your prayers.

It has been amazing the support you find with people you would of never known until coming here. But it is very hard to see a family struggling, especially when you yourself have experienced the struggle with your own child. My heart goes out to the Gudde's and I know we will say an extra prayer for their little angel.
