Surgery postponed

Can't say that I am all that surprised - par for the course around here! So more hurry up and wait. Today a new baby came in across from Gabriel. The parents rushed in shortly after and were talking to the nurse about when they could feed her and do other things. The nurse was patiently trying to explain the assessment process and that they couldn't feed her until they were sure it could be done safely etc...The parents were having a hard time understanding it and especially not being able to get a time table. I felt for them - it won't take long for them to learn that time doesn't mean much around here. Ultimately it is all up to the babies and what they can and can't do, as time passes...

After the nurse left, I gave her some tips about where the good pump rooms were and how good the wraps are at the patio! Not much else I can do.

I'll be praying for Gabriel's numbers to "be better" so that his surgery can be rescheduled. I loved the pictures of the first cuddle...so sweet.

Josh & Peg

As we start our family camp ths year, many thoughts and prayers will be with you and little Gabriel. Love the updates and the pictures are so precious. He certainly is daddy's boy, simply because it took you, Josh, months of training to become a trooper and little Gabe is a TROOPER in a few short days of his life. We'll miss seeing you. Sending hugs from the whole Michigan crew!

Love Aunt Doris & Jerry

Josh, Peg and family,

How wonderful! You were able to hold him, the pictures are precious! We pray for Gabriel and your family every day. I've forwarded the blog site to Katelynn who is in Germany and they are praying there also. We send you our love,
JP and Jenny
